Hiya Friends! A beautiful Sunday to you! It's early morning still with a half moon hanging in a hazy blue sky. The leaves are only beginning to burst forth and we are desperately awaiting what everyone else calls Spring. Isn't it almost June? If I were to walk up the hill right now, I would … Continue reading Maritime Folk Mittens
Two months ago (or was it 3 months?), I compiled some photographs with the intention of sharing with you how I block my knitting (inspired by Ana, thank you Ana!). After I complete every single project, whether it's mittens, socks or a sweater, I both wash and block the garment. This is a very therapeutic … Continue reading Washing & Blocking Knits : Made Simple

Good Super moon to you! Our house was illuminated all through the night. A brilliant silver light reflecting off the ice covered fields.

Good evening! Another January like day here in the Maritimes. The fields have been humming with snow mobiles so we have been walking on nicely compact paths :).

Goodmorning Faye Friends! Oh my, it is WINDY here! We had a lot of snow last night and today we are being battered with very high winds and freezing temperatures.
