Guest blogging from Vancouver!

Hello from sunny B.C! I’m Shawna guesting in for the travelling Rachel. I met Rachel WAAAY back in 1996 when she was my counsellor at my first year at Hyanto….I have such fond memories returning year after year and everytime waterfront Rachel was there. She was pretty much awesome…still is! She even once saved my sister from heat stroke over ICQ. She’s a whole lot of the reason I went into lifeguarding and why I wanted to work the waterfront at Hyanto some day..which I did eventually! But time as passed and taken me far from Ontario…luckily the internet keeps us all together!

I’m not actually currently knitting….I’m arm deep in crocheting for my wedding! I’m getting married in October and a few weeks ago decided that crocheting the flowers for the wedding was a fantastic idea! And so far it’s going very well. I’ve been focused on the boutineers and corsages and it’s going really well. After a few false starts with the wrong yarns I’ve settled on my types and gauges and now am moving through them.

Wedding Flowers!

I need to make about 30 and it takes maybe 30-40 minutes to make one. Which is much harder than it seems because the weather here is so amazing and the last thing I want to do is sit inside…. However these need to get done!

I’m considering crocheting an entire bouquet….but I’m really putting that off until I’m done all the individual flowers…I’m not sure why…

I got the original idea from this site. So we’ll see if I continue on to make the whole bouquet.

I’m working on at least 3 other projects at the same time! So I may post again!

Thanks for reading!
