Homemade blueberry pie…yum-O!! Homemade knitting…hmmm… I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately with regards to my Summer Tee. I’m usually not pouty and whiny about knitting patterns, but this particular pattern is making me wah-wah-whine! See what I mean? I don’t like the look of the floppy ribbing and how the lace panel insert is making the neck pucker all funny. Also, the lace was too busy for this yarn, in my opinion. There are plenty of gorgeous Rusted Roots… Read more »

Rip and Reknit
Our guests have gone and I’ve pretty much caught up on all of the aftermath that follows when company leaves. I’ve still got an overflowing inbox though with several emails from all of my readers. I just wanted to say that I am not ignoring you lovely folk and I will respond to everyone soon:) Thanks for visiting my blog and being such a supportive bunch about my obssession hobby. I’m at the point on my Geodesic Cardigan where the… Read more »

The Games
Everyone probably knows about the Winter Olympics and if you’re a Raveler then you know all about the Ravelympics. Vancouver is the host of this year’s Winter Games and me being a resident of the city (well, technically I live in the suburbs of Greater Vancouver…still) I have to say something about it all. I’M STOKED!!!!!! The Olympic torch has been making its way through each Province and we’ve been watching this journey online. Today (Day 76), the flame has reached Edmonton. … Read more »

Hat Head
I’ve always had a head full of thick, curly, crazy, unmanageable hair. Some may say lovely, but I say *&??&%*??$#% A couple years ago, I sat in a salon chair for over 5 hours to have it straightened and I had 3 stylists (I kid you not) painstakingly working what smelled like a combination of bleach and chlorine and rotten apples into my hair to make it all glossy and straight. I walked out of the salon that day a great… Read more »
Sky Shifts
Goodbye summer… Hello fall! Yesterday, we had a plans of going on a post-dinner walk with the kids to celebrate the Autumn Equinox. Hmm, that didn’t happen. But we will do it one of these evenings just to see how different things look and feel now that crisp autumn days are ahead – cool and sunny at the same time. We can feel the shift already as the summer weary sun dips below the horizon earlier and earlier each evening… Read more »
Yarn War
I had to laugh when I saw this today. Knitters are being referred to as ‘Craftivists’ in this article and following a whole lot of knit and crochet graffiti spotted throughout the city, officials are warning knitters of possible knit graffiti fines. Bwahahaha!!!! So the mystery is solved…there is a knit police out there. And get this, they don’t really care if you check your gauge or not, but if you’re having fun with your craft and it gets strewn… Read more »
SuperNATURAL
So, we touched down in British Columbia a week ago and I can’t believe that we get to call this home.It feels so good to be back, I’ve missed living in BC soooooo much.
