Today I had to take a few pictures for Robyn Hunter, as she is going to do a guest post about Infiknit. At first I thought that this was not going to happen as I was missing a small attachment to my camera to affix it to the&nbsp; tripod; but a frantic search of the house produced the attachment in the last spot to look &#8211; the knitting basket &#8211; go figure! Very lucky to have found it!<\/p>\n<table cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"float: right;margin-left: 1em;text-align: right\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/lifeiswhathappens.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/piscessm-1.jpg\" style=\"clear: right;margin-bottom: 1em;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"200\" src=\"http:\/\/lifeiswhathappens.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/piscessm-1.jpg\" width=\"130\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center\">Pisces shawl &#8211; centre panel<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"float: left;margin-right: 1em;text-align: left\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/lifeiswhathappens.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/pisces2-1.jpg\" style=\"clear: left;margin-bottom: 1em;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"130\" src=\"http:\/\/lifeiswhathappens.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/pisces2-1.jpg\" width=\"200\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center\">Crest of the Wave Stitch<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>2. I also took some pictures of my Pisces shawl for Pi Day.&nbsp; It&#8217;s almost finished! I hope that you can see the fish in the panel shot. I also used the lovely &#8220;Crest of the Wave&#8221; stitch for the main part of the shawl. Lucky to have had the time to work on it.<\/p>\n<p>3. Today was sunny and almost warm by March standards. Fortunately, Spring is coming.<\/p>\n<p>4. Got a lucky offer to be in the &#8220;Made in Canada&#8221; column in an upcoming issue of Vogue Knitting. Just waiting for more info!<\/p>\n<p>5. Fortunately the 18-year-old is on Spring break, so mornings are peaceful &#8211; no constant hasseling to get him out of the house on time. I know that there will be a time when I will miss not having him here to hassel; but for the moment I am enjoying the peace.<\/p>\n<p>Hope you had a great Pi day too.&nbsp; Tomorrow it&#8217;s the Ides&#8230;&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mandala Shawl from GoddessKnits Today is Pi day so it has to be very lucky!!
