The games wrapped up this afternoon with the street party downtown. It warmed up to a balmy -14°C so I got all my winter gear on and went out to enjoy it briefly.

Protest Hat
I somehow missed knitting one of the pussy hats during the last Trump administration. Remember those hats? They look like they had little kitten ears on them?
Anyway, being on a news diet, I hear about things in unusual ways. So I heard from my US knitting friends about the latest protest hat it’s modelled on a hat that the Norwegian’s were during the Nazi occupation in the second world war. I went out and bought myself two balls of Norwegian yarn and finished knitting it last night.

Quilting Retreat
I’m in a quilting retreat all weekend. It’s a fun way to get projects done and be social.




Whitehorse Rendezvous
it’s Rendezvous weekend here in Whitehorse. It’s a celebration of winter and community. I went with a friend to see the snow carvings.

Alpenglow
with the long twilight we get gorgeous alpenglow on the mountains. It inspired me to find a cocktail recipe to go with it. I did and it is delicious.
2oz bourbon
.5 oz lemon juice
.5 oz maple syrup
Dash bitters - I used my home made balsam tip bitters.
Chill glass. Shake ingredients with ice until chilled. Strain into chilled glass over ice. Enjoy.
