Another year has passed and a new decade is about to begin and it seems like just yesterday the new millenium was upon us. It has been an interesting year for me and for Ganiggle Knits. Although I wasn’t as active on the blog as I would have liked to be in 2009, I think [...]
It’s been so crazy around here lately that I didn’t even get a chance to get the pictures I took on Xmas off my camera until today. Without further ado, here are some pictures of my youngest sister opening her presents, and a few of the dogs with their presents!

I woke up at 2pm today and I haven’t done much since. Sure I cooked supper and made a few pots of coffee, but I’m taking a me day. I’m not doing any chores, I’m not taking any pictures, and I’m not dealing with anything stressful. I’m not even wearing a bra. I had a [...]
There is no day more special than a day when you get yarn in the mail. This was true for me today. I had made a trade with Tracy a while back for some delicious Malabrigo. I got the Coco a couple weeks ago, and today I got the Marron Oscuro. Behold!

I know. I’m Canadian and I should be used to it. I’m not. Every year when the temperatures start falling for winter, it still surprises me how cold it gets out there! Last night we hit some staggering lows throughout the day of -49 C (-56.2 F) with the windchill. This morning we hit -51 [...]
I got a lot accomplished today. I woke up at around 9:30am and didnt even have a chance to drink some morning coffee before we were out the door. Took my Mom shopping to Wal Mart, Michaels, PetSmart, and the local mall in order to finish her Xmas shopping. She even got a present for [...]
It took 45 minutes to trim Annabels nails yesterday. As you can see, I am blogging so she didn’t eat me, but came close a few times. Nail trimming with this dog is completely ridiculous and yesterday was no exception. We had to pin her down while she writhed and barked and snarled and basically [...]
Today is a special day. It is the first day of my Warmeez! pattern being out in the wild. There comes a day in every pattern’s life when it’s creator just needs to let it leave the nest. Today is that day for Warmeez. It’s up on Ravelry here, and it’s up on my shop [...]
I woke up about 11am, and noticed that frost had taken over outside. Every tree, every branch, and even spider webs on our porch had a coating of frost on them. This is how we Canadians know when it’s cold. It’s something you can easily see before you even go outside. It’s sort of like [...]
Sorry I didn’t blog yesterday. There have been some happenings around here that have really taken me and my family by surprise. I’m not going into detail, but basically a dark cloud that has been there all my life is now gone.
In knitterly news, I cast on for the January pattern today, and so far [...]
