Four Balls Left

Family

It’s been a project in the making for quite a while. Our sister-in-law asked if Karen would knit her an afghan. In February she and we shopped together for the yarn knowing that it take some time. The project traveled with us this summer growing in scale as we logged the miles. Eventually it got too bulky to work on in the front seat of the truck and stayed just tucked-in in the back seat. Now it’s a living room project. It’s once again growing in length add we watch concerts on Qello. Only four of nineteen balls of yarn left. Could it be finished before the year is done?

      It’s turning out nicely. It’s a cotton yarn and a dream to knit with. Dovie picked out the colors and the waffle check stitch. Hopefully it will be comfy and pretty enough to merit a place in their lives and their living room for years to come.

        It is sooooo beautiful! I can’t wait to have an original Karen Thole piece in our house. Thank you for all the loving time and work that has gone into it.

Imperial War Museum

Imperial War Museum

London’s Imperial War Museum in Southwark founded even as the First World War raged offers insights into the myriad costs of the wars of the 20th and 21st Centuries. It was a most disquieting but valuable reminder of the myriad costs of war.

London’s Canals

London’s Canals

The two of us have long been fascinated with the history of canals and their role in the history of transportation, industrialization, and more recently recreation. This stay in London has given us new opportunities to explore and learn more about how canals contributed to the growth of this great city and how they are being used and preserved today.

It was a most educational visit to the newly renovated National Portrait Gallery at Trafalgar Square in Central London. We were intrigued with the contemporary approach to presenting British History.
