I got a few emails from people after my last post. Yes I am crocheting an 8 foot snowflake. No I am not insane (although there has been some debate about that).
The lovely ladies at the Purl appealed to my vanity (you’re such a fast crocheter …
Can’t talk now – crocheting a 8 foot snowflake!

I had free tickets to the Creativ Festival
that were given to me at the Stitch ‘n Pitch. I hadn’t been to the show in a few years
and I’m sorry to say that it hasn’t gotten much better for knitters. There were
more booths for sure, but most …
I’ve been “off the air” for a couple of weeks because of two deaths – one expected, one sudden.
Apparently it has left the building.
As if my little trip to the KW fair wasn’t enough, I seem to have caused a little incident at the Purl on Sunday. I have only now recovered enough to talk about it.

I’m just back from an action packed weekend that involved:
1. taking the sock on a tour of the Niagara region
2. exploring a new yarn store in Fonthill, ON
3. visiting the FrogPond
4. hunting down hairy cows (figuratively not literally)
5. chasing rainbows

8. planning to move to Iceland
9. substituting ordering an Icelandic Fleece when I realized how far the commute was to work
10. getting soaked by Mother Nature (who definately had a case of severe PMS)
11. attending Stitch ‘n Pitch.
