Socks on the Road: Phoenix Rising

June 21, 2022

Begun while we were in Jasper, these were the perfect maple-leaf-colored socks to be knitting during our citizenship ceremony. They began as this braid from Sweet Georgia Yarns, purchased in March 2020 during my Vancouver trip. The colorway is called “phoenix rising,” and it’s on superwash BFL. These were my first sock spin this year, … More Socks on the Road: Phoenix Rising

RV’22.9 Jasper with Nature

June 19, 2022

As you saw in yesterday’s post, we had lots of little outings in Jasper. But that took up a relatively small amount of our time in the biggest park of the Canadian Rockies. Most of our time in Jasper was about spending time doing ordinary things against an extraordinary backdrop. Going to the playground with … More RV’22.9 Jasper with Nature

RV’22.8: Jasper with Friends

June 18, 2022

By the time we got to Jasper, we were ready for a change of pace. We received it in the form of getting together for the long weekend with some friends. Rachel, Mike, and their kids J and N made the 12-hour drive from their home to meet us in Jasper. When we met for … More RV’22.8: Jasper with Friends

Socks on the Road: Hobbledehoy Merino-Silk

June 16, 2022

The next socks I’d like to share with you are the only pair that are not from yarn spun this year. I spun this lovely merino-silk braid into two yarns, back as part of the 51 yarns project I did from 2019-2020. I split it in half, and did one half as my “Default Yarn.” … More Socks on the Road: Hobbledehoy Merino-Silk

RV’22.7 Banff and the Icefields

June 14, 2022

On our last full day in Banff National Park, we tried one last time to climb a mountain. After our frustrations on Sulphur Mountain, we reassessed and dialed way back. This is Tunnel Mountain, the lowest feature in the Rockies to be called a mountain. We didn’t even start at the bottom, but parked at … More RV’22.7 Banff and the Icefields

RV’22.6: Banff, History, and Surroundings

June 14, 2022

On our second day in Banff, we toured our first National Historic Site. National Historic Sites are also administrated by Parks Canada, but as the name implies, they are about preserving history rather than conserving nature. It just so happened that our first NHS was the birthplace of National Parks in Canada: the Cave and … More RV’22.6: Banff, History, and Surroundings

Socks on the Road: Blue Geode 3-Ply

June 12, 2022

You might remember that back in January and February, I did a sort of wool trade. Part of the fruits of that exercise were these two gorgeous braids of superwash BFL. I separated the two braids into the blue-shifted parts and the purple-shifted parts, attempting to make two analogous colorways. You can read about spinning … More Socks on the Road: Blue Geode 3-Ply

RV’22.4 Dinosaur Provincial Park

June 11, 2022

We spent two nights in the town of Drumheller, home to the Royal Tyrrell Museum. Then, having filled our heads with knowledge, we headed to another spot in the Red Deer River valley, this time to where most of the dinosaur fossils are actually found. Along the way, we stopped at this amazing display of … More RV’22.4 Dinosaur Provincial Park

RV’22.5: Banff and the Rockies

June 11, 2022

We were just out Calgary when we first spotted the Rocky Mountains on the horizon. Watching them approach took hours. Finally, we arrived in Banff. Banff National Park was the first national park in Canada, and the town was the first town incorporated within a national park in Canada. It’s also the most visited national … More RV’22.5: Banff and the Rockies

RV’22.3: Drumheller is Dinotown

June 10, 2022

We drove through the rest of mostly-flat Saskatchewan, broken up by things like “The World’s Largest Teepee.” At other points on this trip, we saw the world’s largest dragonfly, the world’s largest dinosaur, and we narrowly missed missed the world’s largest Pysanka. But as soon as you arrive in Drumheller, Alberta, the flat goes away. … More RV’22.3: Drumheller is Dinotown
