Scrap Happy Stitched Book Pages (May)

Cat and crimped oval

I have been working on a stitched book project since January.  Working for 15 minutes a day, and for a total of five days per page, I now have a beautiful cloth book of 20 pages.  All the fabrics and the sewing threads used in my book are scraps.  I used cooky cutter silhouettes on each page.

A little jaunt to the Big city

Coriander loved my most recent ball of yarn…

…which I used to make a pair of “Hitty Sleeping Bags”…

…and a little cardigan.

She wore the cardigan and I wore the socks on a little jaunt.

Coriander and two humans travelled by ferry, bus, train and on foot…

…to Vancouver…

…where we met our absolute favourite knitting designers from Norway! Arne and Carlos posed for a picture with Coriander – she was thrilled! And Carlos recognized that her cardigan was made using their designer yarn!

We enjoyed a delightful presentation sponsored by Urban Yarns on West 10 th avenue and then…

…flew home to Victoria on a shiny red twin otter float plane!

It was a whirlwind trip! How exciting and inspirational to actually meet the friendly and talented Arne and Carlos!
