Summer Knits Part 1 — Salty Air Tee Revisited
Now that cozy season has arrived and I forget all about summer, I wanted to document my warm weather knits for this year.
Salty air
The Salty Air Tee is another summer knit and was it ever fun to knit! This cute little number has a gorgeous lace yoke and a cropped length (well, cropped for me and shortish according to my teenage daughter). It makes for a lovely, light summer tee. I had a limited quantity of a sock yarn from Hedgehog Fibres that I wanted to use up. I wondered if I could squeeze in a summer top or modify an existing design… Read more »
While In Medellin
Summer is almost at an end and what a crazy, fantastical, different summer it has been! There were unbearable bits when British Columbia went through a heatwave like never before. A “heat dome” covered most of Western Canada causing loss of human and marine life and catastrophic forest fires. It was unbelievable that we went through something like this, in Canada of all places! 49+ degrees Celcius in BC – say what!! Our pup didn’t veer too far off his… Read more »
Summer Recap
It’s been a whole two weeks of back to school now and I’m loving the more predictable routine. More so since this has been an eventful summer for us. We traveled to India to visit family and friends. We were away for about 5 weeks and while the vacation was absolutely fun, it wasn’t without the post-holiday crash and burn that international travel entails. India was, as always, crazy and chaotic in a good way. Every day was enjoyable and… Read more »
The Color Pink
It’s been a quiet couple weeks. Vineet is out of town. He’s in India actually for a family wedding and as you may have heard, Indian weddings are one long, loud, crazy, colorful party. It’s very true!! Prithvi is at Aviation Camp on Vancouver Island. So, it’s just us girls at home. At first, I was happy with all this quiet. But then that got old really quickly. I’ve cooked twice since the guys left and as much as cooking is my least favorite activity, I’ve actually… Read more »
Summer’s End
It’s hard to switch gears from the pace of summer vacation to back-to-school mode, but such is life and it’s got to be done! We had a splendid time visiting the Oregon coast and it was one of the most memorable holidays we’ve had so far. Of course, we took thousands of pictures but don’t worry, I’ll only share a few 😉 The Oregon coastline is one of the most spectacular driving routes in North America. As we passed sandy beaches, majestic cliffs, gigantic windswept boulders and lighthouses, it… Read more »
Snippets
We’re heading out to the Oregon Coast in a couple days, so I’m writing this post in-between loads of laundry! Like many others worldwide, we ventured out to catch a glimpse of the August supermoon. It was lovely, but the sunset before that was even more spectacular. Too bad we didn’t get any sunset pictures since it was all about the moon that night! While we were waiting for moonrise, we spotted a beaver swimming to his house. I’ve never seen one in the… Read more »
Summer Style
Hello lovely people! We’ve been back from our summer vacation in the Okanagan Valley for a few days now and things have eased back into the lazy, lovely summer-style schedule. Perfect! Time away in the valley means many, many dips in the lake and awesome sunsets. Plenty of delicious samplings :: wine, artisan cheeses and breads. Very yummy! And, fruit… oh, the fruit!! Also, we’re big fans of summer oatmeal. Usually, we throw the refrigerated mush in the blender for a breakfast… Read more »
Triangles and Squares
A few weeks ago, I received a swap package in the mail from Melissa of Knits With Camels hi Mel 🙂 This was no ordinary package, it was filled, no, stuffed to the brim with goodies. Some fabulous skeins of yarn one of which is slowly being turned into a Frambuesa shawlette. Not your average TV knitting, so it’s slow going. She also sent me these gorgeous coordinating fat quarters. The fabric is from Riley Blake and I think the line… Read more »
