I remember having a lot of fun with my etch a sketch as a kid. Making a drawing and then shaking it so that you’d have another blank slate to draw on. There’s something about that physical memory that keeps coming back to me every time I check the weather forecast and it’s still below -25. I shake my phone as if that will somehow change the reality of this never-ending freezing cold winter.
I feel like a pom-pom is the bedazzle of the fibre world. I had a lot of fun yesterday afternoon making a lot of. Pom-poms and I’ve sewed them on a lot of things.
The games wrapped up this afternoon with the street party downtown. It warmed up to a balmy -14°C so I got all my winter gear on and went out to enjoy it briefly. 
I somehow missed knitting one of the pussy hats during the last Trump administration. Remember those hats? They look like they had little kitten ears on them?
Anyway, being on a news diet, I hear about things in unusual ways. So I heard from my US knitting friends about the latest protest hat it’s modelled on a hat that the Norwegian’s were during the Nazi occupation in the second world war. I went out and bought myself two balls of Norwegian yarn and finished knitting it last night.
I’m in a quilting retreat all weekend. It’s a fun way to get projects done and be social.
it’s Rendezvous weekend here in Whitehorse. It’s a celebration of winter and community. I went with a friend to see the snow carvings.
