This is the third time today my friends and I have found political business cards littered on the ground. This isn’t the capital clean-up I was expecting 🧹💨

  • Baked some brie
  • Went to a Hockey Game with my Uncle (we lost)
  • Had a mole lopped off!
  • Went to the Alberta Yarn Project to pick up some sweater materials (just in time for summer)


I was walking downtown this morning and caught the last moments of sunrise painting the buildings. The way the light reflects off the golden glass makes the neighboring building look like it has calligraphy scrawled all over it. #yeg #yegdt #urbanphotography


  • Watched Pi
  • Got kicked in the face
  • Played catch-up in writing up notes from crafting

  • Played Inside
  • Drafted a sweater pattern


I finished some green socks just in time for St. Patrick’s day ☘️🧦 ended up re-knitting the heels three times trying to get the fit right. During the process, I discovered that I have a fairly high instep, so I can’t use a number of toe-up heel patterns. The fit turned out great, especially considering this is my first pair of socks! I can see custom socks being a regular fixture on my needles this year 🍀
