Hi, Knitters,
Yesterday I uploaded the wrong file (it was waaaay too big) for the iTunes/podcatcher watchers out there. Please delete the episode and upload again. I apologize for any inconvenience. It is corrected now. If you are interested in watching/subscribing through iTunes click here for more information.

Now for the blog post!
I am back from vacation with my family. Last week we spent some fantastic family-time in northern Wisconsin in a not-so-rustic log cabin nestled on a lake called Lower Twin Lakes near Hayward, Wisconsin. The weather was beautiful, the setting was gorgeous, the lake was smooth, the mosquitoes were aggressive, the food was very northern Wisconsin-like, and fun was had by all.
One morning I took the camera down to the pier and filmed a podcast for about 20 minutes. Listed below are the links for the things I talk about in the episode.

Hell's bells! We used to go to Blueberry Lake up by Hayward when my 30-40 year old children were little but we never stayed in a cabin like that....ours was the truly rustic type. LOL! I haven't watched your podcast yet as I watch them via Roku in my bed at night on my widescreen t.v.
ReplyDeleteI love the books and I would love any of those signature needles...they are stunning.
I'm knitting my first shawl (Kay's Tess D'Uberville free on Ravelry)and loving it and I just cast on Millie but can't afford those Quince yarns. They really should have made up small skeins for the doll making....not that I don't love their yarns but we'll see how I do with Knit Picks wool and then if I really love making them maybe I'll switch. I had to buy yarns to start the Christmas gifts so you see my dilemma...lol!
Did you buy any fudge in Hayward? They used to be famous for their fudge and pulled taffy I think, or was that Lake Geneva? It was along time ago.
Glad you had a good time! I need to get back and finish my giraffes too. Oh, I finished my first sock in the Candy color from Cakewalk yarns that are no more..love it but please say a prayer that I have enough for a second sock! I'm scared to go weigh them. Ha! Ha! I've had company so I have to go catch up with your posts. TTYL!
That was so nice! I miss the North Woods and the being on the lake!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post, Susan.
ReplyDeleteAm having my first cup of coffee enjoying the tranquillity of your podcast.
What a delightful start to my day.
Loved my ride-along with your canoe ride
Hugs
Thank you for sharing your lovely vacation -- xxH
ReplyDeleteI loved the podcast as it all looked so peaceful and a very special place - thank you.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the lovely podcast episode. It all looked so peaceful and a super place to just relax.
ReplyDeleteI loved your podcast! We live in a log cabin in northern MN on a lake. It's our happy place. I know you are a big fan of Signature DPNs. I typically use the Lantern Moon rosewood DPNs for socks. My hands stay warm when I use them. For circulars I use Addi Turbos. I cannot find a retailer that sells Signatures in the upper Midwest. I would like to try them before I buy them since they are an investment. Would it be possible for you to do a blog post review of Signature needles??
ReplyDeleteWow what a beautiful location. It reminds me of our family cabin in the upper peninsula of Michigan.
