More gloves

-

 Linda K sent a pix  of the three pair of Koigu gloves she got way back 10-15 years ago. She had kept them as gifts, then life got in the way and they were put away, just recently unearthed.



Wish I knew how to have the pix show up  beside each other, maybe some day.

I  went to town on Wednesday  for the permanent jacket crown on lower front tooth, expensive but should last the  rest of my life. And have to go back next week as  drivers license will expire the end of this month.

With current socks in time out decided to go with another pair of gloves.  A new ball of  Koigu from the stash  (green) all the rest are  leftover bits,  am sure  some are over 10 years old,  I save everything. If I ever get anywhere Koigu is sold will watch for several colours thee  I am nearly out of (lime green).

 

Spring is trying  to show up, have heard the first bunch of trumpeter swans  flying north, Tatlayoko Lake is open so they are spending time there. And my driveway is a mell of a  hess, 75% mud with deep ruts from any vehicles that come down.

    Love the gloves! I never got around to making them - too fiddly for me - but I love the look of them!!! Too bad you're in the middle of Mud Season - but I suppose you just have to wait a couple of weeks for it all to dry up. We're having summer right now on the Wet Coast although a cool wind is blowing. I do have my walking shorts on & had my lunch OUTSIDE on my porch.

4 more pair on needles, work on each for at least 10 rows every other day before putting it down. Blue pair is farest along and have everything ready for sock #2. Blue pair will be identical all the others fraternal. A couple of nights ago bout 9pm saw a blue heron land in tree just south of the house, watched it preen for some time and when it was to dark for a pix 2 more landed in tree beside the first. Same day saw a kingfisher dive towards the river. Bear activity has cooled down, assume they are over at the Chilko River system fishing for salmon. Last black I saw was just its backside as it headed for the west fence got a quick pix but not worth posting. Nothing much happening in my wild mountain valley these days, some ranchers have finally been able to start cutting hay, and everyone else is hoping for rain. So many bad fires in BC again this season.

Finally got myself to town Dec. 27-28. Prescriptions, haircut, groceries, and most important getting bank Visa problems straightened out. Tried dealing with bank via telephone and both times I connected got someone that wouldn't acknowledge that I was hard of hearing, heavy accents didn't help. Had 7 charges for Play Station almost $1000, since I've never even seen one, wasn't me . Because of all the weird charges they wouldn't activate the new Visa card. A good weather window opened so in I went, took almost an hour getting everything straightened out. Meanwhile when I did get to the grocery store almost filled my buggy with produce and fruit. Had help unloading the car when I got home Thursday 3 ish. Did bring a nasty bout of the local crud home with me, first time in several years that a cold hit me so hard.  One of the first pair of Koigu gloves I did were for me, but last winter I snagged middle finger on a nail on my handrail, brought them up front, cut off da

Grizzlies

May 30th had a visiting grizzly complete with two yearling cubs, camera at hand got 3 pix before she and cubs wandered off. 2023 season off to a good start, 2 blacks and 3 griz in my yard. Sock knitting continues as always, pix of latest finished pair of Monstersocks. As soon aas they were finished started another pair using a midnight blue Hawthorne from Knit Picks, but instead of Monstersocks am going back to old standby fair-nordic patterns, dk blue will be main colour then orange, med gray, red and white for the patterns. Fairly conservative for my knitting. Went into town on Monday, oil change, checked in at Speedy Glass about a new windshield (come back in a week), picked up my new glasses, then a motel for the night. Tuesday had dentist appointment at 9 am, think its the last for a while, then renewed ICBC (license plate and insurance for another year), picked up some groceries and lastly Kal Tire where I finally got winter tires off my Subie (they go back on October 1).
