    Where have we been since April 4th 2021?

    HAPPY PODIVERSARY! Been working on this on/off since Jan 25th 2015

    Karla - COVID and Family have been keeping me very busy, I’m on the JOHS committee at work and there’s been lots of reading and needing to pay attention to restrictions and protocols in schools that it’s taken up a lot of my time.

    I’ve also had an addition to my job description where I run a hydroponic farm on our school property. I’ve been busy with creating programs within the school to educate students around farming and food security.

    My kids are both in full-time school now and managing them and their adjustment to that has also taken a lot of bandwidth.

    I’ve also been doing a lot of designing and learning around fibre arts, I’ve taken a few classes with Knit City Virtual around Coast Salish Weaving, Spinning and Designing. I hosted a couple knit alongs over zoom with the local fibre artists guild and I’ve been teaching classes at Kelowna Yarn and Needlecraft since Sept 2021 and creating new classes for that.

    I’m currently in the process of designing two classes for the Okanagan Knitting Retreat in May and organizing Yarn Okanagan’s Summer of Fibre and Yarn Tour.

    Emily and I were able to visit each other early summer at her family’s cabin and will be seeing each other at the retreat in May.

    Emily - Life has been lifey. I’ve accepted 2 positions in my school district working in Learning Support and Inclusion Support. The girls have transitioned back to school and daycare and we continue to stay busy with life. I’m looking forward to teaching a sock class at the Okanagan Knitting Retreat in May.

    I’ve waxed and waned in my knitting enthusiasm and picked up embroidery in the last few months, I LOVE it!
