Day 140, Scarf 140: Firey Sun


This burnt orange fuzzy scarf was knitted after a day in the grade 6 classroom. I had all of my students working on decorations for our Beatles concert and a group of about 4 boys decided to make a huge orange sun in honour of "Here Comes the Sun". This scarf makes me think of their firey-looking sun.

Day 139, Scarf 139: Red and Gray


This red and gray scarf was made after an exhausting day back at work after returning from Camp Sasamat. Who knew that being out of the classroom for 3 days and getting a total of about 7 hours sleep over those three days would make a teacher so tired?

Day 138, Scarf 138: Home Sweet Home


After having very little sleep at camp, it was a joy to come home to my husband, Max. That night we sat and snuggled and I knitted this blue, white and gray scarf while watching an old episode of Top Gear. I'm so glad to be home.

Day 137, Scarf 137: Camp Sasamat #2


This silky blue and white scarf was also knitted at Camp Sasamat. I only managed to make it on one hike on this particular day but was so busy that I was up until midnight knitting in my cabin to get it done!

Day 136, Scarf 136: Camp Sasamat #1


This blue and brown scarf was knitted in the very little down time that I had while accompanying my Grade 6 students to Camp Sasamat. I managed to make it out on 3 hikes that day! The landscape is absolutely gorgeous and it didn't take much convincing for me to get out for each of the hikes.

Day 135, Scarf 135: Mother's Day


This scarf was knitted after having Mother's Day supper at my Mother-in-law Linda's place. There were a whole lot of moms present - my Mom, my grandma, Max's mom, Lexie, Christine, Mrs. West, Grandma Ruth, Andrea, Catherine, and I think there might have been a couple more that I am forgetting! Mom was the word today!

Day 134, Scarf 134: Sunny Strathcona




This yellow and white scarf was knitted after going on a lovely walk with our friends Shannon and Mike and their two dogs Charlie and Tucker in Strathcona. It was so sunny and warm that I was able to walk around in a tanktop and still feel warm! Today was a day when no one need to wear a scarf...but I knitted one!
