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:
