March To The Top

Yesterday afternoon I received an email from our Uncle Mark about our cousin Adam. Adam is in Nepal and will be taking part in an expedition. He is working for CBC as the second expedition cameraman for an upcoming documentary called March to the Top.

Commissioned by documentary and CBC, MARCH TO THE TOP is a compelling and emotional documentary highlighting the challenges faced by 12 wounded and ill Canadian vets as they struggle to the 20,305 ft. high summit of Island Peak, a mountain near Everest in the Himalayas. Viewers are with the soldiers every step of the way as they train in the Canadian Rockies, arrive in Kathmandu, Nepal, and set out for the month-long trek up to Everest base camp, finally attempting to summit Island Peak itself.

Here is a link to the website. 

What an amazing experience. We can't wait to see more pictures!

Recently I showed you a picture of a jacket knit in Naturally Drift. The picture didn't show well so I asked Kim to put on the jacket today and we went outside to get pictures. She was very excited about the pockets.

A bonus was that she was wearing her Mohair Bias Loop knit in one ball of Filatura di Crosa Superior.

70% cashmere
25% silk
5% merino

It is very soft and there are new colours for fall.

All seams are done with a three needle bind off. This is perfect if you don't like to sew.

Kim and I made a mess in the store today. There are boxes full of yarn and kits for the Woodstock Fleece Festival this Saturday. Now I just need to finish my projects in time for the show.
