It’s been a long summer. Not travelling has taken the wind out of my sails in a big way. BUT, things are looking up. Sort of.
My yoga teacher training is done! Woot woot. No more monthly payments. I’m officially teaching now and making a bit of extra cash – which is all going straight to the travel fund.
Towards the end of the summer, I spent a surprising amount of time at home knitting, creating, designing and writing new patterns. (Check them out here.) I made the time. It helped that I was so bummed about not travelling that I was unmotivated to do much of anything else.
The weather is chilly here in Eastern Ontario and the orders are slowing coming in as they normally do this time of year (more money for the travel fund). I really hope to still find time to make the Icelandic Sweater. I’ve been waiting since I came back from Iceland in February to make it. Now, because of the constant chill in the air, I’m getting the itch to cast on in a big way.
I’m also getting geared up to teach one knitting and one crochet workshop before Christmas at Auntie Em’s. I’m really excited about passing on of my knowledge. I really hope I do a good job.
I’m working on a charcoal Nella right now for my friend Paula. Love this piece. So fun to make and so scrumptious.
In 5 dodos, I’m leaving for Chicago! Woot. My friend Brian and I are driving over to visit with our friend Susie, who I haven’t seen in probably two years. I’m excited. I’ve been to Chicago twice already but I’ve never seen The Bean. And the drive there is 14 or so hours – that’s a tonne of knitting time. Yessssss.
Until next time.
