Day 308, Scarf 308: The Aftermath


After spending the night at Catherine's and getting only 5 or 6 hours of sleep I found myself completely exhausted today. I made it through the day - that's all I can say!

Day 307, Scarf 307: Border Line


Today after work Catherine and I went shopping in the states. It was a lovely trip that resulted in 4 pairs of shoes and a bag for $100. Not bad!

Day 306, Scarf 306: Bee, Bee, Bumblebee


This yellow and black scarf makes me think of the song that my graduate supervisor, Peter, taught my grade 1s and 2s. The kids loved it because at the end they get to shout! This is how it goes...

Bee, bee, bumblebee
Stung a bear upon his knee
Stung a bear upon his snout
Then the bear he gave a shout!

AHHHH!

Day 304, Scarf 304: Tile Slice


This afternoon my mom, dad and grandma came by the new house while Max and I were working on it. My dad was absolutely wonderful and helped me to pry up all of the cream and pink (who seriously chooses these colours?) tiles on the rise of the stairs. It was a lovely team effort. Unfortunately, I pulled on one of the tiles with my gloved hands and managed to slice through my gloves and my middle finger on my right hand. Don't worry, I survived by my finger is a little achy now. Luckily dad finished off the job. Thanks for all of your help, Dad! I was so glad you were able to get those tiles out and I know that you put some blood into it too!

Day 303, Scarf 303: Robin Hood


Tonight Max and I went to Shannon and Mike's house for chili and to watch the new Robin Hood movie which actually turned out to be the prequel to Robin Hood. It was a great movie and I managed to knit 3 extra scarves for the evening! Those 3 scarves will go towards day 365, 364, and 363. I think that the coat drive I will be donating all of the scarves at is on the 10th of December and I need to have all of my scarves done by then!

Day 302, Scarf 302: Yarn Bomber

Today was the BC Artists in Healthcare Society AGM. The president, Linda (my mother-in-law), honoured me by talking about the Purls of Warmth project and presented me with a book full of ideas for what I should do once I've knitted all 365 scarves - Yarn Bombing!!
