About Me
- Name: Justy
- Location: BC, Canada
I'm the proud Momma of "Son" who was born at home in Aug 2003.
I discovered eBooks back in 2005 when I got my iPaq 2490. Once I discovered I could have as many books as I wanted with me all the time without breaking my back I was hooked. The best thing is the development of eInk eBook Readers, specifically the Cybook and BeBook. Much nicer on my eyes, I don't think I'll ever go back to paper books again. In fact I still have a paperback to finish that I started in December 2007, just before I got my Cybook. I may have to find it in eBook format. :)

Just a simple little blog to talk about my knitting, my cats, my wonderful son, and perhaps other things in my life.

Almost PRESENT Day!!
It's the day before our Sinterklaas celebration. Those of you that have been reading might remember that it was to have been last weekend. Well, my sister came down with bronchitis so we decided to postpone to this weekend. It should be lots of fun, the oldest child is 3 and the youngest is 9 months. So lots of noisy fun I think, toys that rattle and roll and otherwise keep the children occupied :)
I've managed to get a few inches past the joining of the 2nd ball of the boa scarf and it is looking pretty good if I do say so myself. My mother came over on Wednesday night and she had on a scarf made from Boa by my Aunt. It set my mind at ease on the matter of washing it. I was worried that it would get all matted and icky if I washed it, by my mother has washed hers a few times and it is just soft and nice. I am happy since I like to wash my handknits before I give them away so that they are clean and nice smelling. I will give this scarf a nice bath in Lavendar Eucalan when it is done. :)
