One's destination is never a place, but always a new way of seeing things. ~ Henry Miller It's been about a week since my last post. I've been traveling in the Midwest to attend a family wedding. It was so cold that it makes the rainy windy conditions in the PNW feel balmy. Naturally when traveling,…Read more Travel Knitting

You Shall Not Pass
It doesn't matter how much milk you spill as long as you don't lose your cow! Last weekend, we plotted a route through the forest to take a trip to a Watershed Educational Center. You can find out more about watersheds here. The route had dirt paths, one lane bridges, very few road signs and…Read more You Shall Not Pass
Grumpy Hikers
If you come to a fork in the road, take it. ~ Yogi Berra Last Saturday, the British Hubby and I decided to try a new hike. We packed our bags the night before and set the alarm. It wasn't easy to get up early on a Saturday, but our determination paid off as we…Read more Grumpy Hikers
Welcome to Twin Peaks
My log does not judge. The British Hubby was a Twin Peaks fan when it first aired. Naturally living in the PNW, one has to find the Twin Peaks sign while driving ones sidecar. We think this is where the spot would have been had it not been taken down for repairs. This was also our…Read more Welcome to Twin Peaks
The Scarves of September
You are supposed to make mistakes. That's life. Normally on the last day of September, I would take a group photo of my completed wips. I searched high and low, but my Sunset Cable Scarf is no where to be found. I suspect Ernie has made a cozy cave with it someplace. Instead there are…Read more The Scarves of September

Recently one of my knitting coworkers and I took the ferry to Whidbey Island to check out a…Read more Island Yarn Adventure
Buses, Ferries and Walking in the Rain
Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet. ~ Bob Marley Over the weekend, there was another Mal Gal visit! This time Chicago Mal Gal was in the PNW. A few of my local Mal Gals were waiting for the bus when we discovered this unusual tree. I've never seen fruit like this before.…Read more Buses, Ferries and Walking in the Rain
Factoring for Windchill
Absence weakens mediocre passions and increases great ones, as the wind blows out candles and kindles fires. ~ Francois de la Rochefoucauld Saturday morning, we woke up hours before the dawn to travel for Ulysses's first maintenance. We had several hours to ride before the dealership opened. I had checked the weather forecast. It was…Read more Factoring for Windchill
Wondering
Not all who wonder are lost. ~ J.R.R. Tolkien Sunday rides have become part of our weekend ritual. Our scenic route was plotted with a picnic destination in mind. We were were enjoying the twists and turns so much that we missed a few roads signs and became somewhat lost. I suspect our directions from…Read more Wondering
Olympic Peninsula Adventure: Part 2
And so the adventure begins. Recently, I found an article on unique places to stay in the PNW. In it I discovered the Red Caboose Getaway. It seemed like a perfect choice for our overnight trip. We stayed in the Grape Escape caboose. I love how the outside even has a kitty. I started my Watermelon…Read more Olympic Peninsula Adventure: Part 2
