Vegas, baby!

We’re heading to Vegas at the end of April! Myself, my husband and my mom will all be piling into her car and driving there and back. It’s about a 2 day drive each way (2 fairly easy days). Lots of driving, but lots of knitting time for me too.
And the trip won’t be [...]

Another one bites the dust

I’ve finished up another of my “Delurker Knits” - this one is a child’s sweater (about size 4) which I’ve knit for Cindy. I’m going to add this in with the other things I have finished for the Dulaan Project.
The sweater itself was a quick knit on the Bond but, as ever, it took [...]

Days of Future Passed

The Moody Blues are coming to Vancouver on July 8th! I’m so excited! I saw them in concert about 20 years ago in Calgary - they were the first concert held in the brand new Saddledome - and, truthfully, I don’t think I really appreciated the experience. What can I say, it was the mid-80’s, [...]

Tammy’s Cap

Originally, this was going to be a little lavendar cardigan for an infant — but I found myself a sleeve and a half short on yarn. So I stared at it for a few weeks and then, today, realized that the little bit of verigated that was sitting next to it would do quite nicely [...]

Yeah, but do they have the FR gear for MC?

I’ve mentioned before that I love online gaming - more specifically, World of Warcraft. My interest has been flagging a little of late, but I still put in, well, more than several hours a week playing my priest, hunter and warlock (and others who won’t be mentioned at this time). I came late to [...]

Shannon

One of my favourite songs of all times is “Shannon” by Henry Gross.

I’ve always loved that song and knew it had something to do with a dog that died. And though I love my little Gracie, I have said more than once that if we had the space, I would have a golden retriever [...]

The Amazing Race

I love The Amazing Race. I even liked the family version which everyone else I know hated. And I make no apologies that my favourite team is Rob & Amber. I think they’re hard nosed competitors, but what I like about them most is that they always treat each other respectfully. There is no [...]

Fin and fin-er

I’m back from Kelowna after a pretty uneventful trip. I didn’t get a chance to visit any yarn stores (I was in two buildings - the airport terminal and the hotel) - but I would highly recommend The Grand as a place to stay. It’s more on the pricey side, but if you’re feeling indulgent [...]

A flying trip

I have to go on an overnight business trip; I’m giving a presentation at a meeting/conference sort of thingie in Kelowna on Monday. There are several people from my district going and we’re going to be flying, so travel time will be minimized. I don’t mind being in the meeting, I don’t particularly mind making [...]
