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.

A Day of Knitting

I finished the Milo tunic today. I also was busy making a stuffed bunny. It turned out really cute. I designed a little dress for the bunny to match the tunic.

The Wool and Tart today had wonderful food offerings. Ginger and carrot soup which I shared with a friend.

I also finished my Very pretty lace scarf.

I’m planning on posting the finished bunny after I receive a photo. Everyone fell in love with the Sunny Bunny pattern. It’s off Ravelry.

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.

I can’t seem to travel through Mahone Bay without stopping at Have A Yarn. I found some pretty colours of CoBaSi.

Dig Day Two

My second and last day was great. I wish I could stay longer but my job calls. We found some interesting artifacts today. Wood, copper, ceramics and a few mysteries. I’ll have to wait until the analysis happens before I can find out the whole story. With every season there always arises a new question, it keeps you going until the next digging season comes. Here are some photos.
