Hello from smokey Nova Scotia. While many people to the west and east of me have lost their homes or have been evacuated due to the wild fires, life in Lunenburg has been relatively normal….other than wind directions sometimes causing bad air quality.

Hello, hello, I just wanted to pop in here to let people know that Spring returned. Isn’t it amazing? How do those buds know to open?

Read MoreWarm Headbands For an Autumn Day
Last week I was afraid that the leaves would forget to turn. I think I have a little bit of faith deficiency syndrome. Autumn is my favourite season. I find the colours are so rich and the light is magical. All the hand knits come out, the pie baking begins and Lego and I can…
Read MoreCat on Lap While Knitting Hats
Finally, the weather is cooling down. The hand knit sweater collection is coming out of the drawers fast and furious. Much to my dismay, Devito (aka Devi) the kitten has a thing for buttons, so my cardigans have become easy prey. I have tried to cure him of this dastardly predilection, but it seems there…
