So, since it seems that my proper Shetland posts are going to take a dogs-life to be written (we crammed a lot into a week!) I figure that I can give you some swag shots to keep y’all happy:-) Now, as you all know, the whole trip was arranged by Jamieson and Smith, the Shetland …
One of the managers where I am currently working will quite often greet us worker bees with this odd-for-an-Englishman greeting. Every time he says it it makes me laugh as it sounds so….. odd, coming from his mouth. Just think about it for a little bit…. Not a lot has been going on in my …
So, the UK has gone from having zero (or seriously close to zero) major knitting get-aways to having two in one year. Not even in a year, in a summer! First up is Knit Nation which is being held the 29th, 30th and 31st of July this year in London. It’s three days of shopping …
As I was driving back from the “20/30 Something Knit Night” tonight at Crazy Girl Yarn Shop (more on that later) I was listening to a Des Moines “Lite” Music station. Now, this would not be my normal choice for music stations but it seemed that everything else that I could get on the radio …
So we are on our way back to Iowa in a big way. This is probably our last night on the road as we are in Rapid City, SD. We decided not to go to Yellowstone or Glacier National Parks as we have visited both of them in the past and, well, to tell you …

Today we drove from Anchorage down to Homer and then on to Seward. It was sort of rainy and windy most of the day. We saw the water down there and took a few pictures. It was a lot of driving and not a lot of stopping to tell you the truth. Here are some …
So, I cannot tell you hour by hour what I did today. However, I will tell you that it was a cultural experience on par with visiting Morocco. Ok, I just want to start off by saying that I officially have a crush on the village of Barrow and would love to try to live …
6:30am Awake. I swear that mom is somehow hooked-up to some sort of satellite that the atomic clocks use so that she always wakes up at 6:30am no matter the time zone. 7:00am Trying to pack my purse for the day with various large camera lenses and camera and lace knitting. I know, what a …
8:00 am The sun is up in the sky over Central Minnesota. We left this morning even earlier than planned as my parents woke up and subsequently awoke me as well. Since we were all up at the absolutely ungodly hour of 2:55 we decided that it we had just as well get on the …
