Cross Body Bags

A new purse design. The all grey one without the flower is large enough to hold an I Pad plus a wallet, phone, keys etc. They all have adjustable straps, extra pockets anywhere I could put them and with or without a flower. What do you think?

Document?


 So, I'm crossing the border and while waiting for my turn I am passing time knitting. 
 I have the pattern on the passenger seat.  It has lots of color and lots of numbers. 
 The guard looks into my car and asks me what that document pertains to. 
 I said what document? 
 Oh, you mean this knitting pattern?

Peerie Flooers: First Fair Isle project

I loved knitting this hat. Lately I've become very comfortable knitting the continental style. This new style of knitting came in handy while making this hat. I could use my left hand and my right hand alternating making the fair isle process easier and more enjoyable.




The only problem now is that I'm not sure what to do with the hat now that it is done. It doesn't really suit me so I have two options. Give away for a gift or sell at one of my markets. Mmmm...what to do?

Canoeing the Indian Arm on BC Day

                                                          I had the best seat in the canoe
 Erin was in front
John in the back
and I in the middle
I thought the Arm would be prettier but it was old and worn looking.
Like everything was built in the 80's and not kept up.
There's no beach.  Just all rock.
