Life's a Stitch

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

Img_0266Chuck and Bryant worked at 7:00am this weekend and I had the house all to myself. I didn’t go out all day Saturday except to walk the dog. I didn’t fix my bedhead. I made a big pot of chicken soup and one of red beans for rice and beans, a staple of my childhood from the Puerto Rican side of the family.

I attacked Mount Laundry. I tidied up my half done Lady Eleanor so the end weaving won’t be so overwhelming. Isn’t the way the colours are coming out absolutely magical?

I had CBC radio on for 14 hours. Did you know that Bryan Adams was a busboy here in North Vancouver at the Tomahawk Restaurant? Or that Sheryl Crowe grew up in a house with three pianos? Thank you Randy Bachman for those musical bits of tid.

Back to my day. The exciting part. I drew the winner of my blogiversary contest. I wish everyone could be the winner. If I win the lottery big time, yarn to all of you! And the winner is… Restless Knitter who came out of lurkdom to say she likes Life’s a Stitch just the way it is. Thanks again to everyone for all your kind comments and feedback. This was fun, I’ll be doing it again.

    Found my way here by way of Beth at Stuck on Socks who suggested I take a look at your Herringbone Rib Scarf. So first I saw your Lady Eleanor and thought Holy Cow what’s that. She’s gorgeous and one of these days I’ll learn entrelac. I would love a copy of your Herringbone Rib Scarf if you would be so kind. The texture is beautiful.
    Thanks and happy knitting.

    Love your Lady E! I know the Silk Garden is a pain, but the results of Lady E are wonderful. Now let’s see, how many times have I said I’ll never use Noro again?
