It was a beautiful morning for a beach walk. November finds little in the way of crowds, unless you count these guys.
The storm has passed and the fresh sea air was invigorating. I always feel so much better once I’ve been.

I’ve had great fun whipping up a few using a bit of stash yarn. The instructions are well written and very easy to follow. Thank you Angie, once again, for your generosity in sharing the ‘how to’ for yet another awesome crochet project. I’m off to look for embellishments. ❤ ❤ ❤

A visit to the farm
I’ve just returned from a wonderful trip to my sister and her husband’s farm appropriately named, Wind and View, located up in NE Washington. It was so much fun to walk the grounds with the dogs, feel the cool fresh air on my cheeks and check out all that had changed since my last visit.
Baby chicks, a new Llama and a pantry full of canned goods were some of the delights I was able to enjoy.
My sisters, Diana and Donna (twins) were celebrating their 50th birthday and we spent four glorious days hanging out and enjoying each others company which also included two nieces, a nephew and a brother in law. One thing that I really love about farm life is the pace, a much slower pace than the city life I’m used to and it does take some getting used to. There is always something to tend to, and all is taken care of in its due time. Wood to cut, animals to feed, dahlias to pull up and put into cold storage, the list goes on. We spent late afternoons watching the seemingly endless sunset from a large picture window while knitting and sipping tea.
Did I mention the food? We ate plenty from the garden, fresh eggs and yummy homemade pies. I left feeling the effects that rest and time spent in good company can afford. I’m already looking forward to my return come springtime.

Blue hitchhiker progress
I’ve rounded the halfway mark on my latest Hitchhiker scarf and wanted to comment on how much I’m enjoying working with this beautiful Ricin yarn named Past & Pending by Rainy Days & Wooly Dogs. It is a mix of merino, bamboo and nylon and boy is it soft! Perfect for next to the skin type projects. I'm thinking this gorgeous colorway would look great with my p-coat. Should be perfect timing as cooler weather is just around the corner…

GGS - FO
My Giant granny square is officially a finished object, Hooray!
It seems like this project was on the hook forever. Little did I know, when I joined Le Monde de Sucrette’s CAL, that I’d be staying a while. All in all, I enjoyed the time invested in this project and it was very easy on the brain. While working on the edge I’d have it on my lap/legs and enjoy the warmth.
Stats;
45 rounds
5 colors of Vanna’s Choice yarn; white, dusty series- green, purple, cream and taupe using a size J hook.
1 round of single crochet prior to adding the Chain stitch loop edging,
I learned how to work the Loop Edging from the tutorial posted on Crochetspot, thank you Robin.
Be sure to check out the other finished Giants over on Flickr,
and a big shout out; Thank you Angie for a great CAL!
