STAY-CATION all I ever wanted ...
I need a vacation from my vacation. I know all of you are rolling your eyes, and I know I would be calling my self a BI-OTCH right now, but I could use a week to just hang around my house and do a lot of nothing.
I even had an extra day in theory to 'do nothing,' but I had to do a week's worth of laundry and deal with insurance companies refusing to pay for my teeth cleanings. And, of course, I had to organize, tone and post photos from the trip. If I didn't have that extra day, lord only knows when that would get down.
Having some sympathy for me yet? I didn't think so. So as long as you still hate me, let me show you some pictures of my trip.
So now some knitting. Normally, I would have spared you the vacation photos and start with the knitting, but I needed them to explain why the following are photos of the High Neck Cable sweater and not the Feather and Fan sweater that I dubbed the 'Telegraph Cove' Sweater.
It was COLD. I know many of you are experiencing record heat, and again, the amount of sympathy you can extend to me is zilch. But I'm just trying to say I had no desire to pick up a holey, hemp sweater. I needed warmth. The kind you can get from wool. Specifically Manos Silk Blend. Or at least gore tech, which I failed to bring. The space in the luggage I should have packed a jacket I packed a bathing suit.
I hope this news brings a little smugness to your hearts. And soon I have faith, this will bring our relationship to a stronger place.

No BI-OTCH thoughts here. I totally understand the vacation from your vacation. There is something so comforting about staying home after being away even if the vacation looks SPECTACULAR!. Being a seattle gal myself I have to go there!
Oh my, what a beautiful place! I've never been to Vancouver Island myself, but I'm thinking I should remedy that.
The green cables are lovely. Makes me think of fall... and that's a very happy thought. ;-) Can't wait for wool season...
