Life's a Stitch

And more recently life’s a creative adventure with some travel thrown in.

Ellen_gracee So, it’s the end of the s-i-l knitting adventure. I can safely say that Ellen now knows how to knit. Here’s proof – she’s knitting Plume in a colour we’ve nicknamed Gracee since it is a perfect match for the dog.

Dsc00439_1I admit I knitted one scarf for her while she was here. The Colinette mercury was just  too much for a beginner. We call this one the rubber band scarf because the texture is like fabric covered hair elastics. So, now it’s back to reality without daily yarn shop visits, too much good food and wine and with that little interruption to each knitting day – work.

But there are other bright spots happening this weekend – my daughter found herself with six days off and a terrific air fare so she’s flying in for the weekend. And we have a new student arriving from Switzerland.

    How odd it is to be reading about myself online. At least now I can defend myself!
    My knitting hasn’t stopped. In fact, I started another trendy scarf, because I couldn’t wait to see what it looked like. Nicola (my almost 18-year-old) has already claimed the narrow pink multi-colored one. I now have three works in progress, and despite tonight’s wine my stitches look relatively straight. I’m finding Gracee difficult to do, since I keep adding stitches. With the thickness of the fur I’m just not “feeling for” my stitches correctly.
    All three of my girls are now interested in learning to knit. I’m telling them they should go to Vancouver and learn from the pro.
    I’ll keep you posted on any yarn shops I find in Rochester and vicinity.

    Li and Ellen: Both scarves are lovely especially the Gracie one.
    Li: I started my real estate career. I will e-mail you soon about my adventures in the future.
    Love, Rosie
