Last weekend I attended the Victoria Fibre Festival and Knit-Out. Nigel and I took the ferry to Victoria and had a lovely weekend of knitting and fibre-related events.

No Straights for Me
I hadn’t really realised it, but I’ve been knitting with circular needles almost exclusively for a few years now. I love my Addi Turbos. That’s all fine and dandy until I can’t find the right sized circular needle in my stash.
Fibrefest International
I can’t believe the time is going so quickly. A week ago I went to the Fibrefest International with Carmen and Nigel. Nigel made the arrangements with me while he was in his last weeks of a 4-month-long trip to India with my Dad.
Up, Up and Away
~ June 2007 ~
Sunday at the Victoria Knit-Out prooved to be a challenging day weatherwise. When we arrived to set up the tent there were grey skies and the rain was holding.
Guess who?
Yes, that’s who you think she is! Stephanie Pearl-McPhee a.k.a. the Yarn Harlot was standing directly in front of me while waiting for her introduction at her talk Saturday evening in Victoria.
Last minute details
Mechelle Lymburner, a photographer friend and the mother of one of Hana’s classmates offered to photograph some of my sweaters to use in posters for my tent at the Knit-Out. We threw the sweaters on some kids in the playground after school one day last week and had some fun.
Speed Knitting
~ May 2007 ~
My needles have been flying lately and it’s going to be a long haul flight! I have a merchant table at the upcoming Victoria FibreFest and Knit-Out on June 10 at Saxe Point Park in Esquimalt on Vancouver Island.
