Life's a Stitch

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

I know I complain at times about our seemingly endless rain, but as our thick clouds begin to break, we do have a beautiful sky. Not bad for February, eh?

One of the benefits of an astronomy/physics major daughter are wonderful eclipse photos. She took this one last week. Just another example, that as in knitting, the right tools make all the difference in the world. And the moon, apparently:

    The photos are gorgeous. I tried to take eclipse photos, but my camera just wasn’t up to the task.

    What a great picture of the moon. We couldn’t see anything for the clouds that night.

    Beautiful! We saw the eclipse as we were driving through the mountains in California. But my son is an astronomer/physicist, in charge of a big telescope in fact, and I need to ask him where my photos of the eclipse are!

    I am no means a knitter, but I was googling something about National Shoe Day, came up with your national shoe fetish post, and fell in love with Gracee! I’ve a female Westie, and all I can say is that terriers of all types are simply the greatest companions (what else would a doggie mama say?) 😉
    Fantastic eclipse photo!

    Hi Li, Glad that I found your blog when I was surfing around today! Your daughters photo’s are amazing!! I would love a copy of your Herringbone Rib Scarf pattern, please. I live in Surrey, BC. So, not too far from you. I have been to all the downtown knitting shops, and a nice new one in Walnut Grove. Are you going to Fibre Fest?
    Take care,
    Rhonda

    I think that the endless gray of your sky makes you appreciate the beauty so much more! Those pictures are stunning!
    That moon shot is great! That is one thing I aspire to!
    I have to say that I’m in my glory here today!

    Good luck to your son in his budding career. That’s a lot of money for a 17 yr old to handle. Good luck to you too.
    🙂 Please send me a copy of your herringbone scarf…apperently it isn’t the “so called scarf”, is it?
