Patience’s Dress
Patience
Patience has been sitting in her nightgown, in the Hitty cupboard for months. Then, a friend gave the Quimper Hitty human some fabric pieces all cut out, and a pattern for putting them together…
Rhubarb Sauce
One pound of rhubarb
Hatty helped make my favourite spring recipe from my favourite ancient swedish cookbook. First we measured a pound of chopped rhubarb (a bit more than two cups)

Lolling
The Walrus Watchers
Constance was overjoyed to find out that the Walrus boys are back at their beach – lolling around just like they did last year (and probably the year before, and for millennia before that too).

Tall Ship
A special hello today to a talented shipwright!!
Tall Ship
In 2014, on a sunny summer afternoon I walked home from work with Agathe in my pocket. Along the sea wall at Ross Bay I happened to glance toward the shore, and spotted this fabulous ship – I always wondered who made it, and where it had come from.
This afternoon I discovered its origin by sheer happenstance – I glanced to my left during my walk home and saw a similar shaped vessel with purple sails, sitting on a work bench all ready to be launched! Upon enquiry at the house, I found out that the maker is a very talented shipwright who occasionally launches his vessels at Willows Beach. My Hittys love the ship and have had several adventures with it …click here for Quimper Hitty blog episodes about the ship!
Chance is a wonderful thing!

Playing around
The human has been too busy to knit lately, but for a Hitty, a half done project can be as much fun as a finished one…

Prima Strada Friends
Selection
A Hitty friend from Georgia stopped in Victoria for three hours…the human and her basket of Hittys went to the Cruise Ship terminal to fetch the friend, her husband, and her bag of Hittys. Our plan was to take a little car excursion, and then go out for pizza, but the pouring rain caused a change in plans, and we went to Pizzeria Prima Strada first instead!
