Okay, not roaring, it’s hard to attend to the fire while you are cooking dinner, knitting and crocheting all at the same time. We had a fantastic outing and then back to the homestead. Snow that was melting only a day ago was piling up on the roof slopes. I want to stay here forever.

We headed into town for some groceries as well and stopped at Blenz (Canadian owned) for some wonderful coffee and the barristas managed to pull together a fairly fancy birthday dessert for my best bud Pearl.

It was plenty cold, my sad sack, crocheted in 45 minutes hat was not quite cutting it, and then the great mitten continuum rewarded me for my patience. And the embarrassment of my super quick fuggly hat. What a waste of good hand dyed silk/wool blend. However the fabulous suede mitts laying in a snowbank were a welcome gift from the accessory goddess. (now drying by the fire)

Thanks to JP, I was able to try out the amazing dinner he cooked for John and I. Not bad, Pearl hasn’t keeled over and there seem to be leftovers ;).

We’ve managed to get a real manly fire going (finally). Now I can sit with my new project for the evening. I’m in love with this silk/wool blend, so I’m expecting an all nighter.

Have a great knit night all.
