Happy Canada Day!

it's time for beer, and wine, and burgers and hotdogs. And sitting in the sun and not forgetting the sunscreen, and putting your feet up. And sinking into your most comfy lawn chair, in the shade, and ignoring your book 'cause you just really need to relax for a minute. And not thinking about work, or chores or elaborate meals. You need to recharge, reboot, relax. You can knit tomorrow.

A Memory Afghan ...

A very special group of dear friends, The Knitwits, volunteered to knit together and help ellen create this beautiful Christopher Memorial Afghan in memory of Christopher, ellen and Warren’s son and Taryn’s brother.. We chose calm, soothing colours accented with a perfect heart, to remember him with love. Many thanks to Muriel, Sondra, Carol, Donna, Junne, Carolynne, Jennifer, Sandra and Michelle. And ellen who knit the center piece, with all of her heart.

wellll .... look at who knits!

It's the Diamond Jubilee in England and perhaps what we are celebrating are 60 years of Queen Elizabeth knitting? Here's a vintage photo of the Queen and her sister Princess Margaret knitting socks for the troops during the war. Neat, eh? So. What are you knitting?
