Gaspereau and Winter Wonderland






Wanting a little adventure today we travelled from our house where there was no snow to Wolfville--about 75 minutes from our house to the pretty Annapolis Valley.  I bought some wool to knit socks at this unique wool shop.  This shop in the Gaspereau Valley (a few miles from Wolfville)  sells wool that is locally produced on the farm--they raise sheep.  They also market wool produced by the "Fleece Artist" from Mineville, Nova Scotia and other very exotic yarns--bamboos, merino wool, etc.  Being a rather "newbie" onto the knitting scene, all of this is exciting.  It is fun to experience new textures, new ideas to me about knitting.

Beautiful - last year we were in a winter wonderland but this Christmas the snow has eluded us. Perhaps it is still coming.

Happy New Year to both of you from both of us - Al and Alice
