Lia’s Socks
Before going to Florida (Video from that trip here: Clearwater Marine Aquarium) I knitted a pair of socks for my Tante Freerkje and started on a second pair for my cousin, Lia.
Here is my finished product and the pattern (after the cut):
Niagara Folk Arts Festival
This post is coming a bit after the fact but last weekend B and I went to two Open Houses of the Niagara Folk Arts Festival. We had the most excellent Ukrainian food at St. George’s Ukrainian Orthodox Church.
B and I had perogies, kolbassa, cabbage rolls and (in his case) sauerkraut.
Then we moved on to the Club the Netherlands open house. My mom was born in Friesland, so I knew I couldn’t miss this one 
I was also able to fulfill a lifelong dream I never knew that I had… I got to stand in a giant wooden shoe!
When we got there a polka band (called Tomato Soup) was playing.
And how could we leave without having croquetten and olie bollen? Yum 
This is for you Mom:
Clearwater Marine Aquarium
I just got back from a short vacation to Florida last Sunday. B and I had the pleasure of going to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium. To anyone in or visiting the Clearwater area… I highly recommend the Eco Combo package! It was a great way to spend the day, both informative and fun!
The dolphin in the video below, Winter, lost her entire tail as well as two vertebrae a result of the serious injuries that she had sustained trapped in a crab trap at 3 months of age. She made a full recovery and is learning how to wear a prosthetic tail. She is also very chatty and in many of my videos you can hear her chirping in the background. For more information about Winter please visit her website.
More videos after the cut.
