I have been knitting! When I realised that one of my vendors, Simply Socks Yarn Company was going to be at Sock Summit, I approached her about displaying some of my samples.

Yo-Yo Knits
You know, when I was trying to come up with a blog name, I thought I would try something clever. My last name is pronounced “yo” like a yo-yo. I thought I might call it Yeoh-Yeoh Knits, or Yo-Yeoh Knits or something like that.
Knitting Pilgrimage
My new favourite blog to read is Knitting the Camino. Of course, I may be biased because it’s Nigel’s blog and he is my step-father. Nigel is walking across Northern Spain this month on a pilgrimage to Santiago.
Hand-Me-Downs
What do you do with the lovingly hand knitted clothes your kids have outgrown? I just don’t have the heart to take these items to the consignment store or to donate them.
Do mermaids have feet?
I started these socks probably in 2006. They are finally finished. They didn’t take so long to knit, really. I just get distracted really, really easily. You should see all the baskets, bins and bags full of UFOs that are in my living room.
A little beach knitting
What could be finer than leaving Vancouver during yet another snowfall to go to sunny southern California and take a day to hang out on the beach and knit.
Disney Security Stricter than Airlines’
It was high time for a little R&R for our family. Disneyland, baby!
I tried to bring my knitting with me so I would have something to do while in the lineups.
Which Buttons?
Now it’s time to decide on which buttons to sew onto my long awaited Tangled Yoke cardigan. I went to Dressew last week and spent far too long looking at their extensive button collection.
Fog
We’ve been having uncharacteristically foggy weather for several days now. I think it’s affecting my memory. I still can’t find the yarn and now I can’t find a book I was given for Christmas.
Lost
Where or where can it be?? I can’t find the yarn I so neatly washed and reskeined to complete my Tangled Yoke sleeve. I must have put it “away” when I tidied up a bit before company came over.
