This time a sow grizzly with two of this years cubs. Two pix altho first wasn't worth saving, second shows sow and the two cubs. Can just see my east fence in the background.
Wow! What a privilege to be able to see such wonderful creatures so close. I know you must be careful if you venture out, but to think that you can see them outside your window is amazing.
What a great photo! I too think it must be an incredible place. I am trying to picture how you all sneak out to your car or to the garden. It must be interesting.

THAT WAS THEN THIS IS NOW In a fit of depravity I ripped the above sock out, just wasn't happy working on it, so now its toast. And I feel better even seeing the small leftover balls. Went thru all project bags looking for my Koigu yarn, and in the bag found a glove already started. Back now to my much loved gloves. A number of years ago traded two different people gloves for 5 balls of Koigu each (was much cheaper then). Plus had bought lots from eBay, so have enuff to make many more pair, especially since I save all left over little balls. Eventually I'll go back to making socks (its in the blood). I'm not taking orders anymore tho, will just make what I like (especially Monster Socks). Maybe now and then a pair of fair isle type. Its going to be a brown and mild Christmas, one of the few since I've lived here. Snow in forecast for the middle of next week. The best part of the holiday season (IMHO) is the World Junior Hockey tournament, in Europe...
Long time. Made these for a lady in Banff, she chose the colours. When I sent a pix she said she didn't like where and how I'd placed the colours in the patterns. Slowly I replied. Then she said when I knit the next pair to put this colour with another etc, again slowly (burn underway) I told her that it didn't work that way. Wouldn't do another, so she said she'd take them the way they were with a discount. Honey, to late sold them elsewhere. And I 'm glad I don't take any money up front. Fraternal and size 10. Have come really close to making the ugliest Monstersocks, bottom pix are closest so far. Was without the internet from 15 - 29 April, amazing how much knitting time that freed up. Did the 3 pair shorties in that time frame, mix and match. All are the same number of rows approx sized 7.5 to 8.5. Next pair were to fill an older order. Spring has finally s...
Typical lunch this time of year, tomatoes from Desert Hills in Ashcroft (banana belt of BC). Went down and picked up a 25 pound box of ripe field tomatoes, have had one with every meal since getting home. Ashcroft is a good 5 hour drive, so it has to be a planned trip, expensive to drive that far but so worth it for me. Finished another pair of scrapper socks, used as many of the brighter colours as I could find in the stash. Ended up quite liking them. They will go into a basket for Christmas giving. And have two more pair on the needles. The darker pair look like black is the main colour but its actually a really dark blue. The blue - greens is from last blog, all leftover...
