Check it out here, and join for access to pattern sneak peeks, KALs, the latest news and, of course, a fiber’y little Blue Brick community :) Over the weekend I had the opportunity to work on more of my ‘yarn inspired by photos’ project.

Whenever we show in Niagara-on-the-lake we get to stay at our friend Kim’s place, aka the Gryphon Ridge Highland Cattle Farm. It’s always a treat for us city mice, and I sleep far better at Kim’s then I do at home. The crickets at night and the rooster in the morning sure beat the sound…

We treated ourselves to a lovely selection of Kim’s jams and jellies (lemon blueberry lychee, strawberry kiwi, apple mango chutney…mmm!) A few bottles of wine from Frogpond Farm. Of course Tito was nice enough to carry it all :) Kim and I are clearly 3 sheets to the wind. My new best friend, Wilbur. Wilbur…

The pig is a shy little rescue pot belly pig named Wilbur. The cow is an uncharacteristically unfriendly highland cow named Utopia who insists on looking at me like I owe her 20 bucks. They’re in love.

I’m one of those people that can only eat meat by never thinking too hard about where my food is coming from. So, when the abattoir truck changed it’s morning route and started going by my home I was pretty distressed. In this case it’s pigs, and you can smell the truck long before it…
