Ta Da!
See, there has been some knitting around here! While I was away my lovely landlords looked after my place. And my cats. And my chickens. And my fish.
Kind of a lot to look after.
As a way of saying thanks, I knit her some Mason Dixon Ball Band dishcloths (I love the way the colours [...]

I’ve seen this at a few blogs I read and thought I would try it out…let’s see if I keep it up!
this week’s theme: 10 Things You Plan For
1) Waxing — your hair has to be a certain gorilla-length to make it worthwhile
2) Vacation — though even that I leave to the last minute
3) Blog [...]

Last weekend was the Brackendale Fall Fair. The weather was perfect – sunny and warm. Even at opening, the place was packed. So much to see and do.
This young violinist was very talented (but I was country-musiced-out in about 20 seconds — ugh)
Over in the food tent (not sure what it was really called) there [...]

Home from camping on Quadra Island.
I realize that I have continued to neglect this blog. I have written so many entries in my mind…that I forget I haven’t actually published them.
I wish life were a lot slower!
I took a week and slowed down intentionally. You can’t beat camping for introspection.
I’ve been up to a few [...]

Whoa! Where does the time go??
I will finish reviewing Lost — this season was incredible? wasn’t it? The posts are in draft form, I’ve just been outrageously busy since like April!
Here is a glimpse of just some of the things occupying my time:
Left to Right – Top to Bottom

This knitter has completed a project.
And then photographed the project.
And actually posted it – on her blog.
So very flattering, taking your own picture in a bathroom mirror.
You can see I couldn’t wait until I had added the collar and woven in the ends. I had to try it on. I did have someone else take [...]

Mmmm…what is the connection between Knit Blogs and fabulous food? I’m not sure – but I’m grateful.
Look at what I made for breakfast this morning. Recipe here! I would use a little less butter – just sayin’.
So delicious – the aroma of baking apples, fresh cinammon and cloves.
I found this via Fig and Plum – [...]

After losing Trivia again.
Yep – I was knitting in the bar.
So cozy.
The big Chef’s night – which included singing, dancing and juggling waiters as well.
Not all of us could wear our hats so well.
Our last port of call: Ketchikan. The salmon were running.
Dolly’s House.
Here’s an interior shot of my favourite bookstore. This chair is conveniently [...]

The famed Whitepass Railway.
The Volendam.
Can you even believe there is finally a picture of Passin’ the Dress Code?
The pesky hem kept rolling above the elbows! Something to be said for blocking I suppose.
Here are some of the towel ‘pets’ that would greet us after dinner.
I loved the little paper eyes they used. So cute. There [...]
