I'M OFF...

... to a knitting retreat on Quadra Island, hosted by Shelley, the owner of Fun Knits Yarn Shop there. My friend Bev is coming with me, and I'M LEARNING TO SPIN! As of yesterday, it was on again/off again/on again when we discovered that our van needs about $1500 worth of work and isn't safe on the highway, but we threw caution to the wind, rented a car, and we're going!

Yesterday the first cruise ship of the year came in and I was down at the breakwater/Ogden Point to welcome it at 6:30 a.m. ... now here's some trick photography for you...

Does that not look like the whole ship just landed on top of the breakwater?

It didn't - here it is coming in to the slip:

And there was my Knit'n'Cafe friend Esther and her friend Ray watching it come in, too!

And then I got REALLY close...

And then I drove over to Clover Point to watch the sun come up over Trial Island...


And now I'm off to finish packing for Quadra Island... talk you on Monday!

Hey, you were pretty close to me, too!

Hope it was wonderful! I just don't have the spare change for a workshop yet.

Have fun learning to spin. I took it in college and was the last person to pick it up and then ended up working as a production spinner for a year. Lots of fun.
