My love for knitting

30 Day snapshots # 18

It's like meditating...you tend to forget the time. The

only focus is the stitch you are doing.

Knitting came to me few years ago when I thought how cute knitted baby boots were. Then quickly realized that it was not for a beginner and so I stopped on those or any knitting project for that matter. Then last year I have started again, this time with scarf for my hubby. It was a bit short but then he didn't have any choice but to use it. ;) besides it was my Christmas gift.
Having learned how to knit and the different stitches made me somewhat addicted to this new hobby. I would go to thrift stores to buy different sizes of needles, scour knitting stores and stare at an array of colorful yarns.
I dream of going into a knitting fair and lose myself into the labyrinth of yarn booths and knitting display.
Well, for now, there are more scarves to finish and fingerless gloves to knit.

Our mid-week get away in Dijon

Dijon, one of the cities in France, was the destination of our mid-week get away. The city,which is well known for its mustard,is a 3-hour train ride from Genève via Lausanne. As I've mentioned in my previous post ,this was my first time to visit the city. We arrived mid-day to a gloomy surrounding and headed to Quick, sort of Jollibee here. Yet,the real treat was in the old town. Walking on the paved street for me was like being transported to another era. Aside from Musée des Beaux-Arts Dijon, we were able to visit Cathédrale de Saint Bénigne and the Notre Dame de Dijon. However,due to time constraint we were not able to visit other places. Our evening meal was in Le Théâtre des Sens, a small but cozy restaurant and where I've tried escargot. Yes, I did and blame it on the kir! Our dinner was really good,the waiter was very cheery and accomodating. We stayed at the Hotel Des Ducs where we spent the rest of the night watching crime scene investigation. Ah! the joy of havin...

I wonder...

How can I stop looking up the sky? With it's beauty that never ceases to amaze me.

Light in the sky

For a long time I am fascinated by the sky, but this has been fuelled up when I joined Sky Watch Friday . I am really thankful for this!
