Today we took a 12 hour tour of Denali National Park in which resides Mt. McKinley, the 2nd tallest mountain in the world. Since it is doubtful (at this point in time at least) that I will ever see Everest, this is a pretty big deal for me. And see it we did! The mountain …
So, I haven’t shown y’all a lot of what I’ve been doing of late and I think that it’s about time that I rectified that. First off, I finished the cabled embrace scarf. It turned out nicely but I was just sooooo glad for it to be done already! It wasn’t difficult once you …
Yesterday, the Hubby and I went to the Linslade Canal Festival. It was a lot of fun seeing all the different organizations that had stalls set up to educate the public as well as sell everything from alpaca blankets (no I didn’t get any even though it was a really good price) to food to …
This past weekend was our first annual 4th of July party. Attending it were 2 Zimbabweans, a couple of Americans, a family of Indians an Italian and, oh yeah, a few Brits! I don’t know about you but to me that was about as American of a party as we could have had. It was …
So I guess that this really shouldn’t be titled “Woolfest Part II” rather something like “The Rest of the Time That We Spent In the North of England” as it really doesn’t have much to do with Woolfest but “Woolfest Part II” was just easier. So, on Saturday I spent a little bit of …
Saturday the hubby and I went to Coventry for the UK Ravelry Day. On the way there, we stopped in Leighton Buzzard and picked-up a lady whom I had met on a UK Ravelry Day forum offering and looking for rides. Her name is Tini and we honestly could not have had a better car …
I hinted yesterday that I would have a post of all of the goodies that I got while in Edinburgh today so here it is! I primarily got yarns at 2 shops, K1 Yarns and the department store John Lewis. The reason for the John Lewis expenditure is two-fold. First, they had some Noro Kureyon, …
Yes, I finally got the hubby to release the photos from the cameraphone onto the laptop! It is a win-win day for all of us. Please remember that I didn’t have a “real” camera with me so there aren’t as many photos as I would have normally taken. Also, it was pouring down rain a …
I finally got some stuff in the mail that I had been waiting for. One of the things came in these boxes: For those of you with sharp eyes, you might notice that the tape on the boxes matches that of a box I recieved prior to settting off for the States. Here’s another picture …
So, I have been a very bad blogger! Are you gonna spank me now? Huh? Didn’t think so. I know that I’ve been bad but I actually have a pretty decent reason for it. I was in the US for the past week+ and I didn’t have a whole lot of internet connection nor time to connect. …
