Through My Kaleidoscope: April 2015
http://throughmykaleidoscope-julie.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 21, 2015. What's In the Stash and Off the Needles. Wow, we are already way past the the end of the first quarter of the year! I had been planning to post updates about the progress of my stash busting goals on a quarterly basis, and here I am, already three weeks late. Even though I'm late, the news is good: I was extremely moderate in my yarn purchases. I told you about my stash additions at Stitches West and Madrona in this post. Take a look below and see:. All links are to my Ravelry pr...

Through My Kaleidoscope: On the Coast
http://throughmykaleidoscope-julie.blogspot.com/2015/03/on-coast.html
Tuesday, March 31, 2015. I have always been enthralled by the ocean, and I love making pictures with my camera whenever I am on a beach or near one. For my photographic post this month, let's visit some scenic spots on the Pacific Coast. The view from Ecola State Park, near Cannon Beach, Oregon. Montaña de Oro State Park, Los Osos, California. Near Crescent City, California. Santa Barbara, California. Morro Bay, California. March 31, 2015 at 12:28 PM. Beautiful ocean and water photos Julie.

Through My Kaleidoscope: July 2015
http://throughmykaleidoscope-julie.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 25, 2015. Christmas in July (Or: My 2015 Stranded Knitting Project). For the past few years, I have picked a pattern and knit a stranded knitting project each year. You may remember seeing my Shades of Purple Beret. 2014), my Winter Twilight Mitts. 2013) and my Slow and Steady Selbu Modern. 2012) here on the blog. This year I was tossing around several ideas for a stranded project, and then I heard about the knitalong for Wendy Gaal's Winter Funderland Stocking and Hat. Without a Part Two,...

Through My Kaleidoscope: A Goal Accomplished
http://throughmykaleidoscope-julie.blogspot.com/2013/12/a-goal-accomplished.html
Sunday, December 1, 2013. 321/365: Winter Twilight Mitts. A photo by jchants - Catching up. Remember my annual goals post last January? Item number 3 on the list was to improve my stranded knitting skills by knitting either the Fireweeds socks or the Winter Twilight Mitts. Look what I finished on November 17: the Winter Twilight Mitts! It's so satisfying to meet my goals. Goals for the year. December 3, 2013 at 9:56 AM. And they are phenomenal! You must be very proud!

Through My Kaleidoscope: A Long Line of WIPs: Part One
http://throughmykaleidoscope-julie.blogspot.com/2015/06/a-long-line-of-wips-part-one.html
Monday, June 1, 2015. A Long Line of WIPs: Part One. There is a lot of knitting going on at my house, but not much finishing, I'm afraid. The problem is that I have recently cast on a bunch of projects, so almost everything is at the beginning stages, or not yet even halfway done. Because there are so many new WIPs, I am going to split them up into two posts, and I'll just share a few of them here. I am currently obsessed with my most recent cast-on, Spring and Summer Funderland. I cast on this next WIP ...

Through My Kaleidoscope: June 2015
http://throughmykaleidoscope-julie.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 19, 2015. I did manage to get a few spring hikes in before the weather warmed up, however, so today I'm going to share some photos from those hikes, before I turn the page over to summer. To start, here is a trillium, Washington's State Flower, blooming alongside the trail at the west end of Rattlesnake Mountain, which we hiked in early May. On a cloudy Saturday in late May, we tried a new-to-us trail at Cougar Mountain. Here is the sign at the trailhead. I just realized, as I was about to p...

Through My Kaleidoscope: May 2015
http://throughmykaleidoscope-julie.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 6, 2015. Blooming, Blooming, Blooming. So I missed the April photo post (shame on me! But I'm here to make up for it. Late April and early May is prime time for two of my favorite blooming plants: rhododendrons and azaleas. Here in the Pacific Northwest, we are fortunate to have the perfect climate for these beauties, and they respond with bountiful and spectacular blooms. Take a look and enjoy! Golden Rhododendrons at the Bellevue Botanical Garden. A Splash of Purple. Susan B. Anderson.

Through My Kaleidoscope: January 2015
http://throughmykaleidoscope-julie.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 31, 2015. Traveling to the Land of Winter. As part of my 2015 goals, I promised that I would share more photography on the blog, and this will be one of those posts. Two weeks ago, I traveled to Minnesota, to see my college friends and my nephew in Minneapolis, and to attend the Knitajourney Midwinter Retreat in Duluth. I hear a lot of incredulous, "You're going to Minnesota in winter? Winter Sunset over Lake Calhoun. Perfectly Frosty Ice Lamps. Bare Trees and Winter Sky. When I first p...
