I am so sorry that I have not updated anything since Valentines day, but shortly after that  post I finished my Cowichan sweater and got into the Heritage fair  Regionals with it. Without further ado, here are some pictures of my sweater!

SHEEP!!!

Hope to update more frequently, Nathan

P.S.

the song of the week is Let It Be by... you know who...

P.P.S.

My next knittin' project is a lime green aran cowl, wish me luck!

Happy Valentines Day!

Hi Everyone!

I know that it is a bit late... But here is the extra long post I promised!

There is also going to be a "Songs of the week" post this week at the end of this post because I feel that there should be more than one song to listen to right now!

Here is my weekly update:

I am making a sockhead hat out of the Indigo Moon Island Time Fingering in the color

 "Wild Berries" for my mom as a valentines day gift but a school project came up and I needed to finish that before I could do this.  But it is going to be a belated valentines day gift instead, most probably done in a week.

A close up of the remaining yarn with a little artsy touch

Hello Y'all,

Just a Weekly update on what i have been doing:

 That malabrigo that i got at the three bags full sale is now turning into a cowl that I am designing,
called the diamond of rubble cowl. ( or at least thats what i'm calling it for now...)

Yarn close up!! 

Also, a  while back i made a knit picks order and this is what I made with some of the yarn!!

This pattern is called the sockhead hat by Kelly Maclure and i just loved working with this yarn.

Song of the week

Hi Y'all,

just to start a tradition here at Knit Kid Revo, every week, there will be at least one post in between each song of the week post.  The song of the week post is a post where I will give you the name of one (or maybe two) of my favourite songs that you can all search up on google and listen to and enjoy!

This weeks song is:

Unsquare Dance

Dave Brubeck

EVERYBODY loves Brubeck right?

Guess What??

Hi Everyone, hope you all had a wonderful New Year!

To all you people living in Kitsilano: Yes that was ME banging the wooden spoon on the frying pan at 12:00 on new years eve/day!!!!

Anyways, as the title says, Guess what? I TURNED 12 TODAY!! WHOOPEE!
for my B-day I will have an extra long post for today:

First of all, I finished blocking my Boneyard shawl, the picture looks bad for both me and the shawl...      yeah, sorry about that...

 

Last night I had both Aunts and Uncles from my dads side of the family over to my house for dinner, This was just one of the lovely gifts that I recieved, the other being a large ball of Red Heart Comfort that I most probably will turn into a blanket and some baby hats for charity.

 

 

Of course, I had to put a picture of Buddy, some random garden gnomes, and a very random flat of beans on the blog, right?

 

 

My favourite pictures of the bunch (not including Buddy) is a beautiful picture of some madelinetosh  that I am currently knitting up at the moment into a giant age of Brass and Steam kerchief.

 

Thank you all for being here,

~Nathan

Surprise Surprise!!!!!

Hi Everyone!


Sorry I have not been blogging over winter break, I have been super busy in my knitting escapades!  On Christmas day, I recieved 2 hanks of yarn, 1 skein of madelinetosh light in the colourway "Tart" and one hank of malabrigo chunky, which already turned into a hat that I designed.

 

My other present turned into a shawl that is currently blocking at the moment,  these photos show it before blocking

Dec 21st Apocalypse

Hi Y'all,

Quite busy preparing for a show today, so, cant say much right now except for one thing...  I AM STILL ALIVE.  Yes, it is true, my nuclear bunker survived the light breezes and showers in the evening...  I'M ALIVE!!

Obla Di Obla Da

No, this post is not about the Beatles...  Sorry everyone.

Anyways, ON WITH THE BLOGGING!

School is almost out (last day is friday) and that is when the blogging gets crazy, over winter break.  Anyhow, this is what I have been working on over the past while:

The first photo is a picture of a hat that I made with malabrigo(super soft hand dyed pure merino wool), the second is a picture of me wearing the hat, the third is a picture of me, showing that I had to have the awesome red colour in my hair dyed over since I am dancing in Goh Ballet's Nutcraker as fritz, mind you I look good as a brunette if I do say so myself...  The fouth picture is an accidental one that I took while having techno troubles and I am putting cause I said so.

~Guess who...  Nathan

P.S.  this is not the only thing I have made in the past While.  In fact, an aproximate list of what I have made is right here:

10 Brimmed Hats

2 pairs of gloves

4 cowls

1 yummy malabrigo hat

On The Run

Woo hoo!!

Last night I went to see paul McCartney... IT WAS AWESOME.  Great sound with the new roof.  My favourite part was "Live And Let Die", when they let out the fire and set fireworks up, hitting the 500 million dollar roof.

Wish you were there,

~Nathan

Lest We Forget

I know that this post is one day late, but here it goes:

 

 

 

 

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
- John McCrae


Rest in Peace,
Uncle Jhonny
