Garnomeras Solero
I started a new project this morning. It’s fun and fast only 60 more scallops to go. Watching Netflix…it’s a rainy day. I’m off to see a movie later and hoping Ouija will startle me out of this dumpy slump.
Milo’s cowl
Knit with Madeleine Tosh hand painted bulky. Hope he likes it.
Finished Nora Cowl
Tuesday morning knit group and my new olive green project, Belgique infinity scarf by Phydeaux designs. It’s a commissioned project, the twisted stitch is simple but effective.
Tri-tone scarf
This superbulky yarn is so quick to knit with. I found it at The Loop on Barrington St. I’m knitting a two-toned scarf and only cast on 11 stitches instead of 13. A simple knit and purl pattern great for a beginner. Super quit for a last minute gift. This one is for me to match my vintage 1940’s swing coat.
Hats galore
I have been knitting even though I haven’t been blogging. I finished a couple of projects, and started a couple more. Today is a day of rest, chores, and inspiration. I have been searching WordPress for projects I admire. I found a few beautiful ideas in fashion and crafting. Thanks to all!! Fall is always my time for reflection and taking stock. Back to my usual routine of music lessons and group gathering with my writing friends and knitting friends. The students are back to school and there is an energy in the air, I look forward to. Here are my projects. Three are traveling by Canada Post tomorrow toward Louisbourg for my favourite Archaeology team. The lovely olive green will be delivered Wednesday to L at The Rolled Oat, my fav place to eat in the valley.
Wisp Wrap, I’m knitting for myself to wear next weekend for David Suzuki’s Blue Dot tour. I’m very excited for this event. David Suzuki is one of my favourite Canadians and a true hero.
Morris East
Today I’m galavanting in Halifax. I started at The Loop yarn store and found some beautiful yarns. I wish I could share the feel of them. Soft and luxurious.
I’m sitting in the cemetery across from St Mary’s Basilica writing this post. I stopped in because I like the peacefulness of cemeteries and also because I had the feeling I may have some ancestors here. I actually do. I remember their names from my research. Samuel Rudolph died at 90 years of age in 1826. Imagine! His wives are buried beside him.
I found a restaurant on Morris St, Morris East that has gluten free pizza. The pizza was a fried egg and Avocado wood fired pizza. It was very good. I had a salted Caramel gluten free tart for dessert, which I’m recovering from at the moment. Oh my was it sweet goodness!! Take a look, do I not look content.
I want to knit those socks! This beautiful smocked sweater also has to be in my queue. It’s knit with Berroco, one of my fav yarns.
Catch up
So I’ve been knitting, dancing, reading lately but not sharing.

New book to start. I heard a lot of great things about it, Canadian author, whoop whoop!!
Luvly Day
We had a great day wandering in Lunenburg and Mahone Bay. After lunch at Rime we went to The Lunenburg Makery, I love the idea of a Makery. It is a place to create, you can learn to make clothes, and other crafts. I picked up some really cool design books. Worn and Anthology were my favs.
Then we went next door to Luvly. A clothing boutique that specializes in Canadian designers. I found a cute coral dress by Pre-loved.
On we went to Dots and Loops. A store specializing in handmade things. I found a few treasures.
I can’t seem to travel through Mahone Bay without stopping at Have A Yarn. I found some pretty colours of CoBaSi.
Luvly Rime
Hanging out in Lunenburg today with D. Lunch at Rime then onto luvly for a new look. Stay tuned for the reviews.
