gnomiejo knits!: Camano Island Retreat
http://gnomiejo.blogspot.com/2010/07/camano-island-retreat.html
I love sharing my passion for life, fiber arts and travel. Stay tuned! Wednesday, July 28, 2010. I have been absent for quite a long time! I have created numerous blog posts complete with photos. They just have not progressed past my brain! I have tons of photos from my visit to see Ruth. A year ago as well as photos from Sock Summit 2009. Anyway. I won't make that same mistake again! I will be more diligent about taking photos. Maybe. Was a wonderful instructor! This is not your average beginner project!

http://gnomiejo.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
I love sharing my passion for life, fiber arts and travel. Stay tuned! Monday, June 01, 2009. I realized that I have never blogged that I will be going to Denmark(with Ellen. That hasn't blogged in quite awhile)! Can you guess who I am going to visit? I will leave the husband and dogs behind and fly out on July 9, 2009! I feel like I have made some lifelong friends. They are wonderful people and I am looking forward to seeing their everyday life! I also am planning to make a little side trip to Estonia!

gnomiejo knits!: February 2010
http://gnomiejo.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
I love sharing my passion for life, fiber arts and travel. Stay tuned! Monday, February 01, 2010. A couple years ago at the Madrona Fiber Arts Retreat, I saw my friend Jen's Wool Peddler Shawl. Her shawl was made out of handspun yarn. This shawl can be found in Cheryl Oberle's book, Folk Shawls. The fiber was 50% silk, 50% merino dyed by Lisa Souza. Finally all the fiber was spun up and I was ready to continue with this project. Now for the knitting! Then, last year at Madrona, my friend Angela. Was wear...

I started doing some research on the artist that created it and you can see the present I received here. Take a look at her blog and her etsy site. She creates some incredible pieces of art.

gnomiejo knits!: September 2010
http://gnomiejo.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
I love sharing my passion for life, fiber arts and travel. Stay tuned! Saturday, September 11, 2010. My baby turns 16. Chase, my purebred Yorkshire Terrier, turns 16 today. We all have memories associated with 9/11, mainly terrorist attack related. For me 9/11 is very special because Chase was born on this day. I bought my first house in May 1994. Most people are thrilled to buy their own home because it is a sign of success. I was thrilled because that it meant I could get a dog. He loves to eat. He...

gnomiejo knits!: Paper Crane
http://gnomiejo.blogspot.com/2010/07/paper-crane.html
I love sharing my passion for life, fiber arts and travel. Stay tuned! Thursday, July 29, 2010. While out at Camano, Arlene was just getting started on her Paper Crane. I had seen it in a Knit Purl. Newsletter and promptly put it on a very back burner in my mind. There are so many darn things I want to do and I only have 2 more months before Nihon Vogue starts up again. I have to be very selective in what I decide to knit or spin until then. I decided to tackle this project. Here it is in progress. R...

gnomiejo knits!: A few steps back to make progress
http://gnomiejo.blogspot.com/2010/08/few-steps-back-to-make-progress.html
I love sharing my passion for life, fiber arts and travel. Stay tuned! Saturday, August 07, 2010. A few steps back to make progress. I was going great guns on Paper Crane. You know how you have a voice in your head that tells you things and you don't listen. You know the one. The one that is right on, the one that saves you heartache and grief? The one that you don't listen to? I know I tend to overestimate my bust size(wishful thinking? I also believe I am a bigger size than I truly am. Here is my patte...

I love sharing my passion for life, fiber arts and travel. Stay tuned! Tuesday, May 12, 2009. When did I have time to work? Time passes and I wonder where it goes. I just don't know how I ever had time to work! Things have been busy around our house! We are very pleased. Greg put in a beautiful water feature in our yard and it is even more magnificent at night with the artful placement of lighting. Have I ever told you what a gem he is? The next house project was having some areas of the drywall patched/...

http://gnomiejo.blogspot.com/2010/09/plucky-primo-meets-ophidian.html
I love sharing my passion for life, fiber arts and travel. Stay tuned! Wednesday, September 08, 2010. Plucky Primo meets Ophidian. I was lucky enough to snag some Plucky Primo (70.20.5 Extra fine italian merino, cashmere, nylon blend) in a recent shop update in "Listen to the Wine". When I received the yarn I swooned. It was the most perfect color. It is aubergine, eggplant with fine, subtle shading of pinkish wine. It is to die(dye) for! On a recent trip up to the Anacortes Arts Festival. Note: this is ...
