Well that was a busy weekend!
I taught an entrelac class for Modern Daily Knitting on Friday morning. Always fun to hang out with MDK!
I rode in a fundraiser bike ride, PeDal Support for Parkinson’s Resources of Oregon (PRO) on Sunday morning. DH was on the organizing committee. They raised $20,000, which is great. I found our old bike jerseys in a drawer, so we had to wear them! PRO provides programs and information for People with Parkinsons and their care partners. DH hosts a weekly ping pong program for them, and a monthly support group. His blog, Shakin’ Street, is here. And if you’d like to donate to my PeDal Support page, that link is here.
The ride was on the Banks Vernonia State Trail, which is a rails to trails conversion. The path is fairly flat at the beginning, and then begins a gentle climb that goes on for a while. It’s an out and back ride, which means downhill on the return! The section in Stubb Stewart State Park is especially lovely, with dense forest and so many shades of green.
Our garden has been in berry overdrive! We have two blueberry bushes, one of which is probably 25 years old. We’ve had gallons of berries this year. Blueberry muffins, blueberry bread, blueberry cobbler, blueberries in the freezer…I’m about to make blueberry lime jam.
Picked and dunked within 5 minutes. Bliss.
I’m making good progress on my Luminos Tee. I put it on 2 needles so I could see the shape! I’m currently working in the round, and it’s shaping the shoulders and V neck. The construction is very clever, and I’m enjoying seeing how it’s put together. (There is actually pink in the lighter stripe; the lighting at my dining room table is wonky because of the reddish wood.)
Test knitting for Trillium Path is nearly done. I’m looking forward to sharing this simple knit with you!

Learned a lot in your entrelac class on Friday. I am also loving your helix pattern. Helical knitting is addictive. Thanks, Judith
Thanks for taking my class! That was fun. And I’m really enjoying the helix knitting, too. For me, picking colors is always the hardest part! That’s why I love yarns that do all that picking for me for entrelac.
Thank you for sharing your hubby’s blog. I had not remembered that you also are dealing with a hubby with Parkinson’s.
You’re welcome! Thanks for checking out his blog; he’s a great writer. He was diagnosed about 3 years ago, but he was experiencing symptoms before then. They could all be explained away, but when you put them all together? PD.
Yep. It took until my hubby’s arm shaking was keeping him from sleeping before he’d admit he needed to see a neurologist. He was convinced it was caused from drug interaction from the various other issues he has.
What yarn are you using on your Luminos Tee? It is beautiful! Thank you!
Hi Linda! I’m using yarn from Yarn Snob/Knits All Done. Keith has kits here: https://www.yarnsnobyarns.com/online-store/Luminos-Tee-c168844512
