This is something for Gabi so you know that much better pictures are forthcoming. For those of you hoarding your hand spun, get knitting it. That is all.
equals one return ferry ticket to Nanaimo……Considering the weather and the road adventure, I’d say the price was well worth it.

Since we had timed this event to the second, we opted out of the more scenic Island Hwy drive. Since we missed the Fanny Bay view we made sure not to miss the oysters themselves.

There was a great deal of car knititng accomplished (one hat and scarf set) to match the new coat I got this year. I’m holding off on that picture until I can get the pattern finished. It’s a fun one.
but the fur remained. Becky spent most of Wednesday cleaning her Chow’s fur and it is now just waiting to dry.

A few singles have made it to the 355. Will quickly post those and then on the road.
Just got back from Whistler and on the way to the Island. Love a good BC adventure. The snow in Whistler yesterday was wonderful. The Indian food from Tandori Grill, even better.
Creating the batt for this yarn was like layering paint on a canvas. I am hoping to post a short video of the creation of this batt. More photos on the 355 Project page.
Yeah……love you space channel…Tonight’s jury piece knitting brought to you by Serenity and Nathon Fillon. Where’s my Jayne hat?
