Finished in 2008: May 2008 Archives
Tricky question, that. Especially when it is already nearing sleep time. But there shall be blogging first!
So I shall begin with last week, working in random bits of knitting as seems fitting. Oh, but first I want to show you this:
This awesome piece of art is now gracing the wall above my bed. It was done in art class by one of my daughter's fellow grade 12 students. She opted for a gift certificate from her LYS in lieu of cash. Clearly she is one of us. Heather, thank you so much.
Now, about last week. I was not home. I was here:
Beautiful downtown Vancouver.
I attended this conference, but managed to fit in a couple of visits to Granville Island, a walk around Lost Lagoon in Stanley Park, and even one LYS.
It is a wonderful shop full of really good stuff. I bought a beautiful shawl pin, but you will have to wait for a photo. It looks great with my just-finished Celtic vest. No photo of the Finished Object, but here is an in-progress pic.
While I was on Granville Island, taking in the public market, great coffee, and the work of so many wonderful artisans, it started to rain. This was the perfect excuse to make a purchase at ...
Oh. You want to know what that thing is hanging on the chair? That is another FO! It is one of these, in the Autumn colourway. Here is a better picture, but alas no modeled shot. Another day.
Vancouver was lovely, but by far the best part of my trip was a visit to Carmanah Point Lightstation.
I love flying in the Bell 212.
Especially in the coveted left seat.
More next time, but if you can't wait for the narrative you can find the pictures here.
