My first snow of the season. At last, I feel winter. As a designer of hand knit and hand spun winter accessories, this slice of the season means a lot to me.

The film festival was amazing. We ran into Jason and Corey again ( just after his pitch) and it looks good. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for funding to come through so his movie can get made. The conversations you have waiting in rush lines can be fun. There’s nothing boring about film fest folks!

For once, we actually did everything that we set out to do…We always have grand plans and never quite get to all the items on the list. Yesterday, we had our meals, did our shopping, found the theatres, got our rush tickets (we were actually the first in line for every venue) –talk about dedication. And I accomplished beaucoup knitting in theatre. All of my projects had some white in the hand spun so I could see what I was working on. One of two hats I was able to finish.

As wonderful as the films, was just walking around the village and sucking up the ambiance. We dodged a lot of snowboards last night. They were lined up like soldiers outside of every restaurant and bar. There isn’t one tree in the village that wasn’t lit up or decorated.

I was trying to make my way over to the American Express Warming Tent sponsored by the Festival for a nice hot chocolate and some snacks, but alas we were too late. My benefits of long term American Express Front of the Line rewards only netted me this ….

Yep, lip balm. Actually, it is watermelon flavoured, and my lips were a bit chapped. Thanks American Express…..BTW, I am so getting a hot chocolate from you today before I leave town.

Heading out to the Chateau for some knitting with Jan. Apparently she has knit a hat with some hand spun she purchased earlier in the season. I am dying to see it and knit in front of the fancy fireplace.
