Bits and Bobs


I got a wonderful postcard yesterday from one of my most favourite people in the entire world. It is from someone who said to me once "I love you SOOOOOOOO much, it makes me sneeze!" - Can you guess who it is??



Designer: Karen Scott
Yarn: Lang Yarns Jawoll Solid Superwash
Color: Black
Needles: Circular - 2.25 mm

I have too much yarn. Well, most knitters who love needlework have too much yarn! I resolved this year to knit twelve pairs of socks. That should deplete my sock yarn stash. Then I can buy more. These are my March socks. The pattern is labour intensive but worth it. Unfortunately, the black is so black that it is very difficult to show the pattern well in a photograph.

On Sunday, we walked the dykes around Wolfville and Grand Pre. The walk was flat and dry and seemingly endless. We walked for almost two hours and didn't cover a fraction of the dyke region. The downside of the hike is the lack of challenge in the flatness and, at this time of year, the golden brown scenery is interesting but not overly inspiring.
