Victoria Skies

We had a wonderful trip to Victoria.  While I liked the city, the best part was staying at the llama farm.  Our room looked out over the pasture and the llamas were quite social.  I’m a bit late on the Saturday Sky thing but let’s see the sites keeping with the sky theme. Friday Skies […]

Holiday

No knitting today.  Spent the whole day with AG at therapy and such which was really more than I should’ve been doing.  By the time I got back home I felt like I’d been hit by a truck.  I even turned down the opportunity for hanging out with friends and knitting.  Now that’s sick. This […]

Do the Puyallup!

We go to church in Puyallup, about 20 minutes from where we live.  Also in Puyallup is a huge fair, the  Puyallup Fair, and it’s that time of year again.  So we decided to take a risk.  Anna Grace would skip her nap, we’d eat lots of junk food and we’d Do the Puyallup.  Thankfully, […]

Saturday Sky and Such

A day late and a dollar short…. My Saturday Sky picture, taken in the late afternoon… On to the knitting!  I wound the Cascade I bought for the felted purse and the Farmhouse STR. I have already cast on the purse and progressed through the increases.  It is an easy pattern but in a good […]

Hello to Saralyn

The knitblogger we met the other night was Saralyn.  She always sends me the kindest emails/comments. Not much has been happening around here.  I still haven’t finished the shawl but I’m getting there.  I took Anna Grace hiking up to Goat Falls yesterday.  She liked the first part then wanted to quit. Same story, different […]
