It’s going to be a long three months.
My husband’s 50th birthday is in August and I’ve had the brilliant idea to plan a surprise birthday party which in itself will be a family reunion of sorts. Oh, there will be much treachery over the next weeks to ensure that the secret isn’t blown. But [...]
Through work, I belong to a professional association which holds its annual conference in Penticton. This is my third year attending, and generally it has some pretty good sessions. This year though? Snore festival so far.
And a couple things about the linked page for the hotel that I’d like to point out. See all [...]

I have a big foot.
There I said it.

My second pair of socks is done and (finally) cast off. I can’t say enough good things about knitting two socks at once - I’m so thrilled at having knit two pairs of socks in as many months. My mother is extremely impressed — wherever we go, if anyone offers even the slightest inclination [...]
Because I’m dodging the work I brought home, I give you this meme which I found over at the blog with the best name ever!
Mark with bold the things you have ever knit, with italics the ones you plan to do sometime, and leave the rest. There are a few I left plain because I [...]
Today would have been my Dad’s 68th birthday; he passed away 6 years ago this November.
