We have had a wonderfully mild week – warm temperatures and sunshine!
It’s a bit of a tease because it is too early for spring, but it has been feeling like it.
We’ve taken advantage of this exceptional weather and spent a lot of time out of doors.
After an impromptu trip to a park (someone misread the [...]

Sorry – no FO pics. My Mom cut [...]

Where did the time go? How is it that another segment of Project Spectrum 2 is over already? This time I didn’t even get to dye my wool yet!
Oh wait – I did dye some of my handspun in the colours – see:
Oops – I haven’t loaded a pic of the black onto the [...]

Construction stop on Hwy 99 – Friday

Yes, it is Summer!
Today was the 1st day of our Summer Program. We hiked the 4 Lakes Trail and spent the day lazing at the river. Well, after a fashion.
The children explored, built a ‘castle’, found ‘diamonds’, crossed the river, found snails, built a monument and a dam.
I knit. I managed 7 colour repeats on [...]

Somehow, in the midst of not tracking what I ate this past week, I lost 4.6 lbs! Coulda been the stress…
That brings my total loss to 19.8 lbs – boo ya!

I am hoping for a quiet weekend – and so far the rainy weather is helping! I would like to do some more spinning – I did a little this afternoon. Enough to knit up a square for Rebuilding Greensburg. What do you think? My first ever hand spun yarn. Boy, do I have [...]

I think it’s about time I posted a little knitting content on my knitting blog, don’t you?
Here is the back of my Stacy Pullover. I believe that the pattern has not worked out according to it’s original design, but I am happy with it anyways. This is a surprisingly quick knit – so if I [...]

Lolly asked if we are planning our gardens yet…well, Yes. I am a little behind in starting my seeds indoors but given the rule of thumb for gardener’s on BC’s West Coast not to transplant until the Victoria Day long weekend that gives me 4 weeks to grow indoors. That should give the seedlings enough [...]
