Wordless Wednesday: Evening Sky

There is one spectacle grander than the sea, that is the sky; there is one spectacle grander than the sky, that is the interior of the soul. ~Victor Hugo, Les Miserables

Remarkable sky, Sunday night.

Sand Dollar (1024x683) — Successful beachcombing.

Becky's Bag (1024x683) — Fabric. Amazingly perfect bags made by Becky for everyone attending.

Shopping at In The Wind Yarns (in The Shops at Salishan).

Salishan Cowls (1024x683) — Three Salishan Cowls made by Elizabeth at In The Wind Yarns. I LOVE the top one, made in a linen blend from Juniper Moon. It shows off the stitch pattern really well.

The rocks (1024x683) — Rocks near the trail.

Wave action (1024x683) — Love the ocean’s power.

Wordless Wednesday: Hood River

A brief Wordless Wednesday this week, thinking of one of my favorite places – full of outdoorsy adventure, awesome weather (dreaming of the summer heat at the moment), gracious residents, and a terrific yarn shop – Hood River.

Wordless Wednesday: Yarn Shops

Posted on April 6, 2016April 6, 2016 by Carol

I have found local yarn shops to be, often, little oases of beauty. It makes sense, really, that the owners might have an artistic sensibility and would create a lovely space to be. Here, then, I share some images of my favorites with you.

I have a few more favorites, but, for various reasons, don’t have photos right now. Those favorites include Knot Another Hat in Hood River, Oregon and Close Knit and the Knitting Bee in Portland, Oregon. All great places to spend an hour or an afternoon!

Posted on March 9, 2016March 9, 2016 by Carol

I love Portland! It’s such a great city, for many reasons, and one of them is its totally artsy vibe. Portland recently had 14 local yarn shops participating in the 2016 Rose City Yarn Crawl. Some of my impressions:
