Unexpected
Sometimes the surprise finds are the best. I knew I'd visit yarn stores on the trip, and I fully expected to enjoy them (and did). I planned to go out to the shore, and expected that to be delightful (it was). I did not expect to find a small pile [...]
We Interrupt Your Scheduled Programming
I'm home safe, and I owe you lots more San Francisco posts. But today is dedicated to TNNA prep (why yes, yes I do leave for that on Friday...and yes, yes indeed that is quite soon after returning from the previous trip...and now that you mention it, that is [...]
Non-linear
For reasons that are, I'm sure, totally valid, I've somehow managed not to recount this trip in any sort of linear fashion. These things happen sometimes. Some days it was a choice between 'some sort of blog post' or 'nothing at all because figuring out how to write about what [...]
Look, Knitting!
Lest you think I've only been strolling about taking in the sights and eating delicious food, let me assure you there has been knitting too. Plenty of knitting. It started when we took the sock to the ocean on Saturday. He enjoyed the view, but was a little worried the [...]
Not Just Blue
And, lest you think I'm only frolicking about sticking my toes in as many parts of the ocean as possible (which is mostly true, but I like to maintain the appearance of a more well-rounded explorer), I bring you some non-watery bits. As we drive around up here, The Boy [...]
Disapproval
Disapproval rock disapproves of my decision to abandon you. Well, he seems to disapprove of most everything. I think the trick will be carefully framing your questions to him as he doesn't seem to have much of a range of expression. He may be my new mascot.
Abandonment
You have been abandoned. The sock, The Boy, and I have run off to the beach and left you. I'm sure once you see the beach you'll understand my decision. The sock will be back to report on his feelings about this experience soon. In the meantime, I'm going to [...]
Souvenir
I tend to bring back somewhat non-traditional goodies from my various excursions. I don't have much use for tshirts. I am always drawn to pretty drawings of the places I go, but I never manage to get them framed and hung. Pretty much if it's meant to be sold as [...]
Step 1, Establish Camp
I've arrived in San Francisco and located our lodgings. They are more or less at the top of the steepest hill ever. That makes going other places (they're all down hill) easy, and walking back from them a bit grueling. I've also secured provisions in what was quite possibly the [...]
Double-Sided Buttons
It's not often you get to take out your pliers for your knitting. That's a shame. I like my pliers, and I want to use them more often. I found a way to sneak them into Knitter's Curiosity Cabinet, Volume II as part of the Vanessa antiopa Cowl. (That pattern [...]
