Life's a Stitch

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

Dsc01931I know, I sound like a broken record. You can tell my age by that one, what would be the contemporary equivalent? Anyway, you’ve heard me say it before – Marina and I are back together. Sometimes I think the breaks in our relationship are a good thing; that we’re still together because of our times apart. I’m optimistic that we’ll make it work in the long run if we respect our requirement for breathing room. Mine, at least. I wasn’t going to tell you because I didn’t want to disappoint you if this stretch was a short one.

If you look carefully at the photo, you’ll notice that the last inch and a quarter (above the last crimson band) is new knitting. The colours are absolutely accurate and look amazingly like the Woolcraft Marina photo rather than the colours called for in the Starmore pattern. Thank you to Denise, who requested the list of colour substitutions I used in Marina. You’ve gotten me started again.

Oh my goodness, a four day work week, followed by a four day weekend, followed by a four day week! It’s a little strange not having the girls at home, we’re taking a break from students, and Bry and Chuck have to work on Easter Day. I still plan on cooking because going out feels like a one hour holiday and there are no leftovers. A joyous Easter weekend to you all.

    Lucky you! The kids here are only getting Monday off for “in service” day.
    Good to see “her” again. Come next month, I’ll be ordering yarn for “her”.

    My daughter is out of school today and Monday though she has soccer practice on Monday. I’m toiling away. We don’t get any easter holidays at work. Enjoy your long weekend.

    Happy Easter to you Li! Glad to see Marina is back in the fold. She is looking gorgeous as usual. A broken record – I guess I’m old enough that it didn’t even occur to me that the current generation would find that comment strange. Let me see, a scratched CD? A looped MP3? A malfunctioning iPod? There must be something out there that”s equivalent.

    Marina is looking gorgeous. It almost makes me want to attempt a fair isle project. Almost. Can’t wait to see further progress.

    Love Marina, she is beautiful, and no matter when she is finished I’m sure she’ll end up being absolutely drop dead breath taking gorgeous.
