Excitement

It's official, I am bringing Ryan home to my parents for the Easter holiday. The plane tickets are booked and paid for, and while it seems like a lot of hassle for a measly two days in Ottawa, I could not be looking forward to it more.

There's something so relaxing about travel. It's a sense of peace and stillness that I find hard to find while moving about my daily life - but seven hours on a place equals a lot of serene knitting time. Time that doesn't require excuses or distractions, it's time to just be.

On the needles lately has been a February Tot Jacket for my little Pinxit's one year birthday. Can you believe it's already been one year since Pixie hats were on the needles and I was darting off to other cities for baby showers, baby planning, and more importantly, birthdays!? Her birthday is on April 9th and I think it's rather important that she is able to ring in her first year of life on a similar note as her first breath - swaddled in hand knits from her 'crazy gypsy aunt Manus'.
