Oh, argh, I am frustrated with my green sweater and I’ve barely even started it. I wanted to knit this: It’s knit using the brioche stitch.

I never in a million years would have believed I’d move so far away from home…and a home yoga practice
I’ve been thinking lately about how we identify with place. Last year at a gathering in Whitehorse, I was introduced as being from Salmon Arm, BC.
