It’s finally out. The current issue of Canadian Family and the long promised shot of one of my designs. It was thrilling to have John bring home the magazine and point out page 51 where my hat was featured….I think he was prouder than I was.
And interestingly enough, when I went to look through the magazine at the local Shoppers Drug Mart, I could not find the hat and was just trying to figure out how to tell him that the magazine had chosen not to use my design. Next time I will actually look at the cover of the magazine more closely for the date of issue!
He has been saving clippings of all of my good fortune this year. We are celebrating in huge style by going to the Whistler Film Festival for the first time. It really is an exciting line up. Lots to see and we have bookmarked 3 films today (I am certain we will only get to two) and crazy small world…I ran into my friend Jason Karman who is here pitching a film for financing.
We lucked out and got to pick our room for our favourite hotel. Top floor, corner and mountain facing. Although with the fog, we can’t see much of it right now.
The best view is still the fireplace where I will be perusing this wonderful new book I picked up
I found a design that I am going to knit for myself. I have lamented for years that I haven’t found the time to keep any of my knitting for me and how I don’t use patterns. This pattern I want to knit. Okay you yarnies out there…I am counting on you. Which wool should I use for this design.
No, I am not spinning the yarn for this, but I am really interested in knowing what your choice would be for this project. I am easy to influence. Help a girl out.
Time to run, walking to the village and have a nice line up to stand in for the first film. Food Wars. Rush tickets only.
Thanks for all the well wishes. It has been a very exciting week.
Yes, Holli, there was just something different about this book that I just new I would find something I loved in it. And I did….
Is this the Carmen I know, who NEVER buys or even looks at current knitting books? 😉 That said, I want to come over and look at that book. I’ve been curious about it.
Love the design!
Congratulations! Enjoy your weekend!
Congratulations! Now you’ll have to be knitting 24/7, though! 🙂
Not sure I have a great yarn recommendation…is it a worsted you’re looking for?
Is that the Marriot at the top of Painted Cliff Road? We’re practically neighbours, if so!
If you want a bargain, I’m rather partial to Elann’s Donegal Tweed – I am loving the pullover I’m currently knitting in it.
(Wouldn’t it be heavenly in BFL, though?)
