I just heard from Ruth that comments were turned off on yesterday’s post. I have fixed that (I have no idea how that happened) but it might have something to do with the fact that I cannot access email or internet from my laptop right now. (It can’t possibly be anything I did…)
After 5 attempts I got the button band finished on Mag last night, and think I can safely say that I will have the button sewed on by tonight. (No knitting involved, so all of you knitting gods that are hanging over me like a vulture can move along. There’s nothing to see here.) (No pictures in the post, either. Sorry about that.)
I was thinking about Stephanie’s Canada Day alphabet, and had to add my own for the letter A: Being Canadian, something that seems to be widespread (and it’s either a good thing or a bad thing. Completely depends on your perspective) is our national hobby of Apologizing. For everything. Even if it’s not our fault. Sorry.
Here’s a combined comment. I liked your addition to Stephanie’s list. I think many of us in the US (most notably our politicians) would be a lot better people if they Apologized from time to time.
You were quite the beautiful bride, and I admire your guts for even thinking of trying on your wedding dress. And congratulations on your son’s graduation.
The Noro is beautiful. I enjoyed knitting with it and I’m looking for an excuse to use it again. Do you have a specific shawl in mind?
I’m sorry, too. :0)
I found your blog following a comment on Amy’s (indigirl) blog. If you’re coming up to Waskesiu any time soon, bring lots of bug repellant or bug jackets – for the dog, too! It’s been awful so far this year with the horrible vicious mosquitoes! The lake is gorgeous, though, with high water levels and everything is lush and green.
Re: Your June 24th entry, yes, I AM still here, although I went without blog reading for a ridiculous amount of time. I greatly enjoyed the doggy picture, and you have no idea how much I needed that beautiful face to make me smile. Keep ’em coming! I am getting back to my regular blog reading.
