Gone Fishin' - Almost

While we're still at home until mid-July, we do have a house full of kids. I expect there will be little time energy to post regularly.

Once at the trailer, I am web-free. How will I manage? My coping method last year was to take a note book and write out posts the old fashioned way - with pen and ink. When a rainy day occurred I went to town to son Charlie's house and transferred the posts from page to 'net'.

And, that is what I will do this summer, as well. But it does mean that posts will not be daily.

SO, I want to say, thanks for your faithful readership and all your comments. I will post as often as energy and weather permit. In the meantime,
HAVE A GREAT SUMMER EVERYONE.

Thursdays Are For Knit Group

Today was my last Thursday knit group until I return from the trailer in late summer. Next Thursday, we will be frolicking at Ontario Place with four kids and by the following week we will be at the trailer. So I won't see the Meaford knitters until late August.

The rest of the group obviously weren't too concerned by my ominous threat tone last week as most were again today, involved in non-knitting, summer activities. Sandy B was back ,though, with the delightful little bolero

she knit for her grand daughter. Just as Sharon's knitting was the primary photo focus last week, today, it's Sandy's.

Here she is, in total concentration, finishing up the seaming. (If you get a kick out of seeing knitters sputter in frustration, ask Sandy B how she likes seaming.)

And here she is,

with the help of the other Sandy, deciding on a button.

Sandy B came across a great sale and purchased LOTS and LOTS of buttons. Her button box puts mine to shame.

Have a great summer, Meaford knitters. See you in late August.

We're Ready

We're ready. Let the national anthem begin.

Happy Canada Day, everyone.
