Life's a Stitch

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

Flower_basket_1_1 I’m just back from our extended holiday weekend away. For those who aren’t in Canada it was Victoria Day, a celebration of Queen Victoria’s b-day. I think it’s Canada’s excuse for a May holiday. There was a lot of good knitting happening. I finished my flower basket bag and successfully swatched (finally) for Marina. I’ve spent more time swatching for that project than I have knitting some scarves. 

Here’s the view from our deck this weekend. My kids have grown up visiting this place from time to time. Notice it’s on a golf course. We are not golfers, but we are good golf critics, and being situated above a tee, it’s how my children learned foul language. Right. Knitters never swear; only golfers:

    A swatch for me?
    Just kidding but it’s totally weird seeing that name in your messages.
    I love the bag & the view.

    Your bag is wonderous!
    The view isn’t too bad either, :-)…that looks a bit like Sudden Valley. It makes me homesick for a park I used to take my DS to on Lake Whatcom.

    The bag is absolutely gorgeous!
    Your comment was very sweet, but it will be a long time (with much more practice) before I’m brave enough to tackle a project with double digit colours. I’m definately looking forward to seeing the creation that is Marina.
