Unabashedly Sparkly
I came home from the trip with ideas. Lots and lots and lots of ideas. I think that's half the fun of going away. You get out of your daily routine, and you suddenly have extra time and space to make plans. One of these plans involves disassembling a dock [...]
Briny Deeps
When we weren't off sampling the local spirits and cuisine, we spent an awful lot of time clambering over rocks, collecting treasures, and seeing just how far up various conveniently-located precipitous crags we could shimmy (answer: alarmingly...question of the week: 'how in the name of self preservation did I get [...]
Field Trip, String Theory
Ok, I really should wrap this up. I'm sure it's tacky to talk about a trip for longer than the trip lasted. But man, it was a long trip with lots of yarn-y bits, and I don't want to leave any of them out. Especially not String Theory, that would [...]
Impromptu
Have you ever found yourself in need of a hair elastic? I'm guessing many of you have. Have you ever found yourself in need of a hair elastic and been far away from either your personal stash or a convenient place to get more? This doesn't happen to me often [...]
Field Trip, Fisherman’s Museum
I warned you accounts of the trip would not be chronological. Nor would they be terribly, um, edited. I'm going with a more free-form approach. You remember how I mentioned Maine seemed to be a particularly fiber friendly sort of place? My first thought was that this had something to [...]
Now With Knitting
What's that? You want some knitting in your knitting blog? How unreasonable of you. I did just show you yarn yesterday. But I'm nothing if not accommodating, so let's see what I can do. Look, a sock! Now yes, it is just one sock, but maybe if I show you [...]
Field Trip, Swans Island
So Wednesday morning's stop had unexpected yarny goodness. The afternoon stop though, that had totally expected and planned for yarny goodness. For you see, Wednesday afternoon we went to Swans Island. This was another repeat visit (we went there last year too), and one well worth making if you find [...]
Field Trip, Sweetgrass
Now part of the fun of vacation is field trips. Grown up vacation field trips are much more fun than the third grade kind. You are not required to take a buddy to the bathroom with you, and you do not have to ride a bus. You also get to [...]
Space Cadet Giveaway
[Edit: The giveaway is over and the winner has been notified, thanks to everyone who entered!] How about we take a little break from the trip stuff and do something a bit more traditional for a day, hmm? Would you like to win some yarn? Specifically, would you like to [...]
Rhinebeck, Commerce Style
Now part of the fun of Rhinebeck is the critters (see the previous post), and part of it is the snacks, and part of it is the completely shameless knitterly abandon with which everyone curates their wardrobes. But I would not be being honest if I didn't admit that part [...]
