New House – Week 13 & other stuff

Matt & I have both been sick at since Christmas so not much is happening around the house. We bought a shelving unit from Ikea to store my yarn but I need to paint it white before moving it upstairs. I’ve been spending a good deal of my time in the kitchen.

Maybe because its winter & we are craving carbs I’m on a bread making kick.

Its so nice to always have homemade bread around.

Surprisingly (to me) I am really enjoying knitting socks. I made my first pair over Christmas from this pattern.

The pattern was pretty good but I had to look in my Ann Budd Book of Handy Patterns a few times for help. I’ve started my second pair this time using Cascade Fixation.

and just went with Ann Budd’s pattern. I really like how she does the stitch on the heel. I think next I’ll do the Techguy socks from Magknits for Matt with the Apple logo one them.

Other than that we are just waiting for some fresh snow to cover the icky gray stuff this recent melt has left us.
