october trail ride

My husband had some training over the weekend so the kids and I went up to my parent's farm and spent Friday and Saturday night.

We went for a trail ride on the four wheelers on Saturday on some trails that I hadn't been on for over five years. The trees were beautiful. My parents' have a lot of yellow maples on their property, so there comes a point every autumn where the woods are paved with golden leaves.

I finished the socks for my nieces, now I think I'll start on another pair for my son.

We are moving out of our home at the end of October to a different house outside the city and a bit closer to family. Lots of changes around here!

september socks

September flew by in a blur. Perhaps it was because my husband and I were searching for a new home, so every night after he got home from work we were meeting our realtor. We had to bring both of the kiddos, so sometimes it was a very trying affair - for everyone involved.

After three purchase agreements and on offer that fell through we finally did find a house. We move at the end of this month.

This has put me into major cleaning and packing mode. It's nice that I'm on maternity leave, but I also imagined that I'd get more knitting done.

The finished socks above are for my niece. The ball of yarn next to them is for a pair of socks that I intend to knit for my oldest niece. We can't leave anyone out. The other project is the "Inspira Cowl" which is a free pattern on ravelry. That was a really fun knit!

I'm happy to be posting a blog again. I've learned a new way to manage my photos on my phone and transfer them to my computer in order to post them on my blog.
