The Loop

Today I'm sitting and knitting at The Loop cafe.  My arc-en-ceil pullover is blowing my mind a little. It is knit on a diagonal, and I'm knitting it with self striping yarn.  I would like to get inside the mind of the designer.  Crazy world.  I picked up some lilac cotton yarn to knit a sweater for my next project, I'm always looking ahead.  Today started out rainy, so I'm carrying around a raincoat, umbrella, my knitting bag and purse.  If only the weather would cooperate.

Saturday

 Here is my Arc-en-ceil Pullover update.  The colors are awesome.  Fun to knit.  It's a beautiful day today, my kind of day not too hot.  perfect in the shade. 

Recently my friend D's Dad has been very sick and today is her parents 56th Wedding Anniversary.  Wow!  I think of that and wonder if I've made enough memories.  I guess we should all make as many happy memories as we can,  life can be short. 

Flying

I read a post from a fellow blogger today,  I just realized why I don't like to fly, I always thought it was because I'm afraid of heights, or because I detest airports.  Flying doesn't give a sense of the true passage of time or the effort of travelling distances.

Flying unnerves me

I need to feel the earth under my feet,

Move with lay of the land,

Connect with the ground,

See people in real time,

Doing real things,

Living,

Breathing,

Being.

Dawn

Lately...

I've been knitting...

I started the Arc-en-ciel Pullover with Noro Taiyo Sock Yarn, it is so fun to knit with, the colors just unexpectantly reveal themselves.

 The Olive Blouse is a sweater I've been saving for times that may take away my attention, I'm just knitting in the round right now, but I love the feel of the Alpaca Yarn.

My Husband and I were lucky enough to catch Matt Mays in concert last night. 

Fun Times!!

Cats and Dogs

No matter where I knit,  at home or at my knitting group,  animals are attracted.  Kitty Purl from Gaspereau Valley Fibres and my dogs at home, love the peacefulness of knitting.

Market Day

I'm at my local market eating, listening, breathing deeply the lovely aroma's.  Why is it that some musicians make it look effortless like they are having a conversation.  A tea and chat.  Nice.

Live From Barrington

So, today I'm grateful that I don't have to run for a bus, it can be quite stressful as I remember it.  I'm in Halifax lounging for the day.  I stopped at The Loop yarn shop (caressed some beautiful Yarn), The Folklore Center ( I drooled on some guitars), The Creative Place (imagined what I could put on a huge blank canvas, that is if I could actually paint) and now here I am live from Just Us, on Barrington.  I love that there was an symphony of music as I walked down the street,  an accordion player on one corner and a guy playing xylophone on the other.  In front of the Library  I wanted to take a picture of the guy feeding himself and the pigeons, he was engulfed in them and seemed quite happy about it.  You can use your imagination for that one.  I found some beautiful vintage finds on Queen St.  Is  Diane von Fürstenberg still around?  She knows my dimensions perfectly.  The clouds have rolled away for my trip home.  Lucky me.
