Now honestly, would you spend time quilting inside if this was your view?
So, I've made up my mind to knit in the sun while in Florida. It is much easier to carry around with me. I don't need the sewing machine and table etc to load into the truck.
And since our unit is on the second floor, carrying wool up there will help my sweetie with his back.
I am still going to buy fabric, which will be cottage stuff, but honestly when we returned to Canada for the holidays, I hadn't used my fabric, sewing machine at all, and the two binns, plus the machine was just too much.
I went to Michael's which had a huge 50% off sale on wool, so that got me started. I had to buy knitting needles, because most are packed in storage of our furniture etc from the old house.
So, a new adventure begins...photos to follow...we head to Florida in about 10 days.
HAPPY NEW YEAR !

What a wonderful view - and I loved the comment about carrying wool up the stairs. Happy New year!!!
Happy New Year, Nanci. I just checked out that sale at Michaels. They sure had some beautiful yarn, but I think I better use up what I bought last summer in PEI. This is definitely going to be a 'use-up' year around here.
yes knitting and travel go together a little better than fabric and travel. I usually have some piecing with me but I can see why you decided to go with knitting for now.

There is no way I would stay inside and sew!! Just beautiful! Happy New Year and on to a new craft!!
Happy New Year Nanci to you and yours.
Knitting seems like a very clever replacement for your usual creative outlet. Since the weather here is HOT HOT HOT - Im staying inside and sewing my little heart out!
Happy New Year to you Nanci and ejoy the stitching whatever the type. I hand sew a lot so for me I would sit and enjoy that view and sew but probably would have some knitting as well. I shall look forward to seeing many projects.
Oh...I can certainly see myself there....
Happy New Year!
Best wishes for a wonderful 2012!
The sun and surf look very nice, but all I can think is "sunburn".....which is not my friend!
Happy New Year Nanci! Looks like a wonderful spot you have chosen to stay.
Nanci! Happy New Year - I can't believe you still have me on your blog roll despite the prolonged blogging absence! Things are looking up for 2012 - I just moved to a new place with a spare (= quilting) room, with laminate for taping the backings to, and high hopes that my quilting output will pick up again! So bear with me :)
Your trip to Florida looked awesome, don't you wish you could move to that pink house? What a location :)
Many greetings from Christine :)
Happy New Year to you too Nanci.. Your new abode is so different to your Island home.. Enjoy your new knitting..
Nanci, I'm so happy that you and Jerry are enjoying North Florida.
I had so looked forward to driving up with my mom to introduce the two of you. I know that she would have loved meeting you and Jerry. I'm sad that this didn't happen. I don't have your email address on my lap top, so could you send me a line, and I'll get back in touch with you.
Your place sounds devine! Love the view - doesn't get any better than white sand dunes right outside your door. How's Wilson enjoying his walks in the sand? Say hi to Jerry.
Love Barb
Hi Nanci, are you still enjoying the Florida weather?? We had a blast this past week. 39 degrees on Saturday, and 34 this morning!! We live in Central Florida, but cold is cold.... Hope all is going well for you.
