PEI Potatoes from the red earth. Well, I know it’s been three weeks today that I started the East Coast Machine Knitters’ seminar but things have been so busy since I returned that I have only just found five minutes to finish logging my journey. I started out to leave the island but stopped to…
Well, damp and early I finished loading my car…sweaters, knitting machines, some promo stuff, extension cord at the last minute, some old mags that the ladies might like to dig through…and hit the road at 9am….of course half way through New Hampshire I realized I hadn’t packed mylar sheets for the electronic machine…maybe Edith –…
Well, I’m back from my wonderful family vacation to Antigua. The first and only time we wil have this opportunity…10 1/2 of us went (my niece is pregnant). This is a shot of me with this lovely young woman in the market in St John’s where I bought a carved calabash bowl from her. Her…

Long time since I have posted here. I’m currently in Britain’s North with my parents on their 60th wedding anniversary trip, long awaited and can’t believe we’re here. Surrounded by cousins who are no longer the little kids I had to play with when young (I’m the eldest) they are great middle aged adults we’ve…
I had to give up going to Cleveland for Inspiration ’08, the machine knitting seminar there as I’m off to England with my parents in five days! Though I really missed the weekend with my friends, getting together with other machine knitters and getting inspired and learning new things from people like Iris Bishop I…
