Blog activity!! :) Let's just skip past the apologies this time for having been absent for so long, and get right down to business. This is a knitting blog, right? It's (well, it *was*) Olympic knitting time again, and I've joined in. Last time 'round, in ... http://www.thefishknits.com/?p=136 I love that I have a ton of pictures on my little pocket camera that I had completely forgotten about since I had misplaced the cable for my camera.

In light of this, today's post is going to be ... http://www.thefishknits.com/?p=135 Now that spring is well and truly underway here in Ottawa, I have the great pleasure of watching the garden come to life!

I was ... http://www.thefishknits.com/?p=132 Thursday morning I found myself in an area of town I don't tend to go to much any more, and remembered that there's a great little yarn shop there.

Mum had her surgery ... http://www.thefishknits.com/?p=128 About a week and a half after my last post, just when I was in the middle of trying to get some really terrific things going, life threw my family a curve ball. Since then we've been holding our collective breath to see if the ball gets hit out of ... http://www.thefishknits.com/?p=127 Here we go with another picture heavy post! Saturday's World Wide Knit in Public Day event in Toronto was so much fun! Here you go, have a look at some photos. Yarn!
