This hat came out of one such trip. A flock of seabirds soaring over an undulating sea, mountains ever present and majestic and it was on the verge of twilight when the last remnant of sunset glimmered on the water below.
The yarn is local to BC too. Lovely hand dyed Sweet Fiber, springy, beautifully coloured goodness that knits and blocks like a dream. More details here on Ravelry.
So yet again we are reeling from one of Millie Mittens disappearing acts, this time an all-nighter. Oh boy, did I had a fitful night last night, not to mention a pit in the stomach, wondering where on earth she could be this time. I have to say that despite the raised stress levels, searching for a lost pet is a great way to meet the local residents, several of whom insisted on searching with us last night. My hopes were still buoyant, though, because we know all about her tree climbing escapades, she may be great at going up .. but coming down is an entirely separate matter. Sure enough, this morning I found her high up in a different set of branches, adamant as ever that she would not come down unaided. Hurrah for neighbours with extra long ladders. Early to bed tonight!
Have a great week, everyone!
Just as well you have some lovely calming views to keep you grounded (pardon the pun) when MM gopes climbing! Glad she is safely home again now. Love the hat.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds glorious (I would love to see an eagle in the wild) and your yarn choice perfectly reflects the colours of the sea and sky.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing view Kate...stunning!
ReplyDeleteThe colour of your hat is just perfect and I love the flying seabirds all over it too! :)
That Millie Mittens is a one, isn't she!! Cats may have 9 lives but they certainly take years off the life of us humans with their antics!
