Berlin
MMmmmmmmmmmmmm………….Berlin and Bratwurst. This was an extremely hot day. Over 100, no AC anywhere, it seemed. As you know from my earlier post, I defected from the group, going rogue in Berlin with my new iPhone to lead me around. It was great–I found Freitag then ate at this place that was definitely not a…

More from the Baltics.
I really must finish my trip for you! I spent time tonight organizing my photos in folders so hopefully I can blog a little each day. My last post was from Copenhagen. We boarded and headed for Warnemunde(I think, or was it Rostock?) which is a port in Germany about and hour or so outside…

Copenhagen, Part 2
This is where Monkey met up with Cat, oddly enough in a pair of Camper shoes that I bought for Carson. They became fast friends in this world of yarn. Monkey shows off enough Isager laceweight for two shawls. They will be a fun knit, especially if I can remember which yarn I picked out…

Copenhagen, part 1
Copenhagen was beautiful! Clean, friendly, very nice. I would go there again in a heart beat. They all ride bikes there. Unfortunately I didn’t get any photos, but they have very clever ways of building boxes onto the front (mostly) of their bikes to hold their children who are too young to ride. I saw…

Blogstipation
It has been a long time since I last blogged. The holidays are rapidly approaching, they will definitely suck this year, so I decided it was time to tell of my knitting cruise this past summer. Something that was positive, fun, and completely knitting infused that will take my mind off of why these holidays…

Eulogy for my mom.
My mom was born in Roll on June 13, 1927, the same day as my dad, but 4 years later. She grew up in the Wellton-Mohawk Valley, attended grade school, and when it came time to go to high school, she attended Yuma High, as did all kids from this area. There were many shenanigans…

Some things are hard to do.
This is so different than when I lost my dad. My mom was alert, oriented, engaged. Robbie and I left and went home, actually, she told us we could go home-it was about 6:45. Within an hour I got the call that she had coded. Actually, Robbie and I talked about it. It is as…

Baltic Knitting Cruise, Part 1
What better way to start blogging about my trip than with a gratuitous Monkey shot? Here he is on the plane, minutes after take off. I cast on as soon as I was seated and here the toe is almost complete. By the time I (we-the Monkey and I) made it to Copenhagen, I was…

Thank you!
The results are in! It looks like I will be knitting a Rare Gem Monkey(first place) and a Plankton Ooze Sunday Swing(runner up). Thanks for voting–Tomorrow I am winding and I will be ready to cast on. Photos every step of the way—I am excited about doing the Monkey because it has been a while…

And yet another shawl from my needles.
I actually started this shawl way back in December. It is knitted out of Noro’s Silk Garden Sock yarn. I had to tweak the picot edge a bit to get it the way I wanted. I really like the little nubs it has on the edge. Another possibility for my travels! You can see the…
