Shots taken at the Kilauea Caldera, and the 9500ft altitude visitor centre of Mauna Kea. The trip is almost over and I’m so full of soul food and colour inspiration!

This morning at 4am Tito embarked on a 12 mile round trip hike through some of the hardest terrain I’ve ever hiked on, to watch and photograph active lava flow at Kilauea. <Lifted from Wikipedia> Kīlauea is a currently active shield volcano in the Hawaiian Islands, and the most active of the five volcanoes that…

Freshly armed with a good nights sleep and clean clothes we decided to drive up the coastal highway, cut across over the beautiful and austere desolation of Mauna Kea, check out Kona and then take the 200 back to Hilo, driving between the twin mega mountains of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa. We also threw…

After 48 hours our luggage has caught up to us, and I am clean and dressed appropriately for the temperature, a state I have learned not to take for granted! Despite our luggage woes I wasn’t about to lose a day in paradise. We decided to go on a reconnaissance mission to Kilauea – the…

First of all, a huge thank you to those of you who took the time to send me a sweet note regarding my sandan grading – I might not have responded but I read every one and the votes of confidence were deeply appreciated! The grading went well and all of us passed. On a…

I have my hands full for sure; my karate grading is in a little over a week, I’m into the heavy stages of pattern development/layout/photography and test knitting for Ombré Knits 2, and sometimes just running…

This month may be February, but we’re already thinking of March :) When I visited the Emerald Isle I was blown away, even in March, by the sheer greenness of the country.  Grass green, earthy green, blue-green, sea-green, you name it. The country is gorgeous, the people are some of the friendliest I’ve ever met,…

We’ve had Sam for one year as of January 11th! From here: To here! Sammy is also a great big sister. A lot of the credit goes to Arya. To celebrate Sammy’s anniversary with us, she is getting her own colourway, kit and donation. This is not a pop-up, the colour will always be available…

2017 was a roller coaster ride for us and I find reflecting useful, both for putting things in perspective and for moving forward. Here we go! The company that I worked for these past 12 years changed dramatically, and I decided The Blue Brick was a better place for me. It was hard and scary…

Wherein I am relentlessly trampled into the snow and puppy absconds with my hat.
