It's a scarf (lace kerchief) meant to be knit from a single skein. This one is a birthday present for a friend.<br />

Yarn: <a href="http://www.rdyarns.com/" target="_blank">The Yarns of Rhichard Devrieze</a> - Peppino in Seaside Surf<br />
<br />
I bought the yarn at Lettuce Knit when we were in Toronto in July. Rhichard happened to be in the store when we went in, so I got to meet him as well as buy a couple of skeins as gifts.<br />
<br />
These are socks I knit for Dave in the summer. The yarn is <a href="http://www.skacelknitting.com/s.nl/sc.2/category.36868/.f" target="_blank">Zauberball Crazy</a> by Schoppel-Wolle. I love this yarn. It feels really good to knit, and the long repeats (longer than a pair of socks!) are fun. Time to dig these out for autumn wearing, now!<br />

The yarn is Cascade <a href="http://www.cascadeyarns.com/cascade-Heritage150Paints.asp" target="_blank">Heritage 150 Paints</a>. I bought it in Grant's Pass, Oregon in August to knit Tiana another sweater. I used the sizing and shaping from the <a href="http://fpea.blogspot.ca/2009/02/free-pattern-friday-scrappy-socky.html" target="_blank">Scrappy Socky Stripey Cardi</a> pattern but made some changes (no stripes, obviously) to the finishing. I went for i-cord ties at the neck, because this is the design I imagined when I bought the yarn. I'm really pleased with it, and excited to have a finished knitting project after these months of not being able to knit much. The sleeves took forever, as I could only knit a few rounds at a time when I was doing them.<br />

Here is the fall colour on the patio today:<br />

I'm hoping this is my blog come-back! I strained a muscle in my arm in July when I was dragging my suitcase through the streets of Toronto and Montreal. It developed into tendonitis and then some carpal tunnel issues, culminating in me not being able to knit for weeks in September and October. That's right. Not. Being. Able. To. Knit. Enough said... I didn't feel much like blogging.<br />
<br />
Now I can knit in extreme moderation and I still wear a splint to be on the computer and to sleep.<br />
<br />
Today I blocked a project for the first time in many weeks - hooray! It's a pink toddler-sized cardigan. Photos to follow soon. I promise!<br />

After some garden maintenance I'll deal with the pictures we took and post some of my favourites.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, here's a shot of the yarn we bought on our travels:<br />

Thibault is checking it out, of course. In fact, while I walked away to find the last skeins he started chomping on a ball of sock yarn. He does like himself some wool! I actually only bought 3 of these skeins, and they're either gifts or to be knitted as gifts. The cotton was a really good deal, and Dave will knit it into dish cloths over the winter, and sock yarn doesn't count as stash (especially since we give away almost all of the socks we knit!) so not bad over all, I think. :-)<br />

This is the second one of the Orangey Goodness pair. The first one isn't finished yet, but I have to meter out the orange yarn so I'll knit this one to match and see where I get to. I should have enough of the yellow to do the toes... I hope, otherwise things may get interesting!<br />

It's so fun to knit for babies, and especially nice when knitted gifts are opened before an audience of non-knitters, who can't believe it's possible to make such things!Myriamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12750967127221890846noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3095758540107902945.post-11432261058134909132013-06-19T17:49:00.002-07:002013-06-19T17:50:24.924-07:00Wednesday afternoon on the patio<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I hoped to write while I was at the 15th Annual Okanagan Knitters' Retreat in Sorrento last weekend, but I just didn't get the chance. It was a wonderful weekend however. I focused my photography efforts on the flowers and shrubs, looking for interesting colour combinations. Maybe I can play around with the colours in future art projects.<br />
<br />
We also discovered Quilchena when we took the 5A instead of the Coquihalla between Merritt and Kamloops. It was a lovely drive, and the old hotel and general store are wonderful. <br />

A new shawl - the same Handmaiden yarn as the last one in the Pewter colourway. This one will be a <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/ginkgo-shoulderette-shawl" target="_blank">Gingko</a>. It's good travel knitting for now, because it's simple stocking stitch and yarn overs until the lace starts.<br />

The BSJ I started in December is finally finished! I thought I had finished knitting this really quickly in January. I had the
top-of-the-arm seams finished, a collar knitted on, and was sewing on
buttons when I realized I’d placed the button holes wrong and the two
sides didn’t match. Sigh. I put it aside and made a different baby gift for the baby due in February.<br />
<br />
Now there’s a baby due in June I want a knit gift for. I
pulled the jacket back out of the trunk where I'd put it to think about its behaviour, ripped out the collar, ripped back to the
buttonhole row and reknit the last 5 rows. New bind-off, no collar this
time (I crocheted around the neckline), and I decided to go with two buttons this time around. I did the ssk
bind-off because the other three (three!) I tried didn’t look right!<br />

Tomorrow it's off to Sorrento for the 15th annual Okanagan Knitters' Retreat! I'm excited to be going a day early this year. Maybe I'll see you there!<br />

On warm spring days (and summer too) I start to crave big salads for meals. Here is our meal from the other evening. We love using these big vintage bowls we got from a friend (made in East Germany!) for soups and salads. This version was lettuce fresh from the patio, fresh mung bean sprouts from the windowsill, grated carrot, chopped kale from the garden, toasted coconut, and a spicy Thai dressing. A couple of weeks ago we shredded the last piece of the last beet from last year's garden! With the mild winter we were able to leave some beets in the ground until early spring, then we stored them in the fridge and they were still as sweet in May as they were last fall!</div>

We also had these almond flax burgers from Brendan Brazier's <i>Thrive Diet</i> book. They're surprisingly tasty and filling.<br />

The drinks were my version of a kombucha mojito, based on another Brendan Brazier recipe but adapted to what we have on hand. I've been brewing kombucha tea for a few months now, and Dave and I rather addicted. We have some just about every day.<br />
<br />
For the mojito, muddle a handful of chopped, fresh mint leaves with a couple of tablespoons of lime juice and about a tablespoon of maple syrup (adjust to taste). Pour 2 cups of kombucha tea over it (leave it to steep in the fridge for an hour or more if you have time). Strain and pour over ice cubes until the glass is nearly full, then top up with sparkling water. Enjoy!<br />

This one won't be too difficult to block, and the weather is supposed to turn wet, so I should get it done soon. I'm looking forward to wearing it, so that will help! I ended up doing two extra repeats of the main lace chart. I probably could have squeezed out one more, but I didn't want to run out of yarn part way through an i-cord bind-off and then have to rip back one lace chart.<br />

These little guys appeared on our Pasque Flower this morning. I love how they are a complementary colour to the flower petals!<br />
<br />
So, does knitting count as doing something creative or inspiring on a given day? I think it should, but I'm trying to use this challenge to push myself to do things I don't feel I do enough of. I have done a few more repeats of the lace pattern on my Brandywine, which is actually in the same colours as today's photo. I'm hoping to have it finished in time for the knitting <a href="http://www.janetarmstrong.com/Workshops_Retreats_Knitting_Fibre_Art_Retreats.php" target="_blank">retreat</a>. <br />

I figured that the lunch bag I made counted for Wednesday, so before I went to bed last night I pulled out an ink pad, a stamp I carved inspired by <a href="http://blogdelanine.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Geninne</a>'s book, and some pencil crayons and felts. It only took 20 minutes, and was a lovely way to end the day, and end up with this in my sketchbook:<br />

Our springs seem to be getting longer and cooler these past few years. I find it hard to believe that I'm posting tulip photos on May 1st and that the flowering cherry trees aren't yet done. We still get the first snow drops at the end of January, like always, but mid-spring things now happen later. The trees in front of our place don't even have leaves yet. I know that's normal in many places, but here on the south coast of BC we're a good month behind where spring used to be. <br />

I made myself a new lunch bag today. I've had the fabric cut out for months, but finally got around to taking out the sewing machine and actually assembling the bag. I think this is the fifth <a href="http://thehappyzombie.com/blog/?p=368" target="_blank">Poochie</a> bag I've made. I don't really do fully sewing, and this pattern meets my requirements for low fuss! Thank you, Happy Zombie!<br />
