Oh Canada

Mountains! Amber waves of grain! Beautiful Canada…..makes my heart swell!

It’s back to school time and I’m lucky to have a daughter who goes to university at McGill in Montreal, allowing us to enjoy the spectacular scenery on our way through the Eastern Townships.

Montreal the apple of my eye! Such a wonderful, vibrant city. So much to do in only 3 days.

This year instead of living downtown, Sophie is staying in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue to be close to the MacDonald campus where most of her classes are. She’s sharing a great sunny apartment right on the river, with the nicest 3 roommates you could ever imagine.

It was flurry of activity in only 3 days, still, I managed to squeeze in a couple of knit-dates… stay tuned!

Ah yes…observe the photograph….perhaps a colorway for a little piece of fair isle knitting?

    Totally grooving on the idea of photo as fair isle inspiration. I might let it take me to the studio this afternoon, photographs in hand.

    What a great inspiration for knitting– color, pattern, atmosphere!

    Your blog finally shows up on my Google reader, so I can follow it more easily now. It looks really great!

    I agree with your comments about Montreal. I lived on the south shore for a couple of years (St.Bruno-de-Montarville) and drove between there and Kingston and Ottawa often.
