An FO!
Shocking isn’t it? If you saw the Ravelry input you’d know that this little number took 11 months! Oh my goodness.
Despite how long I took, I’m really happy with this sweater. It’s cozy, it feels good, it hangs well and the button holes worked! What next for my knitting?
Wellllll – if you believe it, [...]

Olympic madness that is.
Case in point:The embarassing S.A.M. — Squamish Axe Man to those in the know — has reached new heights, or rather lows. Here he is in his Olypmic finery:
Check out the detail though – the knit stitches visible in his ‘mittens’ – that did make me smile…
I’m pretty sure real loggers don’t [...]

I’ve joined the Mystery Sock group at Ravelry.
I am knitting like a fiend while watching Seasons 1&2 of Battlestar Galactica. I’m so glad I didn’t watch this live and don’t have to wait! It’s amazing to see local places showing up – Gaius Baltar’s beach house is not far from where we camp each year [...]

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

Though it’s hard to tell these days!
Wanna little proof? Here ya go.
Did you spy that label? Ah the joys of High Scope. We just love to state the obvious!
I am sure most of you recognize a February Lady Sweater in-progress. I am using the delectably smooshy Dyed in the Wool handpainted wool in a [...]

I swear, I am going to start blogging again. What a difference it makes not being online at home!
Before I resume regular blogging, here is a visual of what’s been going on the last 3 months.
Centre: Loving, loving, loving living out in the woods. It may be a bit of a drive, but it is [...]

On the way to work this morning.
Lunchtime visitor yesterday.
View from worksite this morning – there’s snow on those mountains!
Of course I need a Fall inspired profect for Socktoberfest too.
I chose Nutkin for its Fall-feel and am thrilled to use the soft, lush new Panda sock yarn from Scoutleader.
Do you have a Fall project on the [...]

I really have to thank my Secret Pal assigned to spoil me this last round, because she has really been wonderful! So: Thank you Scoutleader!! Go say hello to her won’t you?
This is the fabulous package I received this week:
2 skeins of the softest Debbie Bliss yarn to go with the brand new Debbie Bliss magazine! [...]
