Full on rain here. Puddles are full in the driveway. So welcome.

Item No. 030 Challenge Prompt: (Image) Knit or crochet a sweater, vest, or dress that disappears into the surroundings. Photograph someone wearing your creation. They and the rest of the outfit should be their normal wear so that only the knitted / crocheted part of the outfit blends in with the background. When I first read this, I was immediately imagining working with some kind of camouflage yarn color and knitting up a vest and then photographing it out in the woods. But I didn’t have any great yarn in these tones and the idea seemed to ordinary. As I continued to think what I could knit in a day and then photograph on a model, stripes seemed the easiest way to go. Which led me to thinking where stripes exist in my surroundings for a photo - which led to the lines on the road! Sweater vest knit using black primary yarn from Plied Yarn Company with a golden yellow from Madelinetosh. I convinced my daughter to model in the middle of the road at night. Luckily our town is pretty quiet at night. 😂 But we still had to keep running back and forth when a car would come by. Finally got some great photos! I love the images and the memories of it even more! #knitsky #knitweardesigner #ravelry #knittersofbluesky #knitting #sweater #camouflage #woldten #GISH #RogueHunt 🧶🧵🪡 ps: Misha - please bring back GISH for an anniversary year! We miss our whole team playing together!

For one week out of every year, I participate in an annual scavenger hunt. It used to be known as GISH, but when that ended another group formed called The Rogue Hunt. This is an image from one item in this year’s hunt. Read alt text for details.

In Antigonish we enjoyed visiting the @julierosvall.bsky.social exhibition. Was not expecting to see, next door, a recreation of Brian Mulroney’s Parliament Hill office.

Stephen & Sheila, thank you for checking out the exhibition. It means so much.

I always used the Old MacDonald, but also tried remembering based on the MacDonald being a longer name, so closer to the larger body of water, ocean, and Mackay, shorter name, Bedford Basin.

One spot left for Sunday’s cyanotype workshop with Bonnie Baker, and weather is looking perfect.

The @canadapostcorp.bsky.social bulletin board is full of summer happenings. Including my “Contexture II” exhibition opening tomorrow @acadiagallery at 2pm.

And next up there are a plethora of @foodartnaturens experiences happening in June. I’ve got printing natural materials, June 25th.

@romidesigns.bsky.social Honeysweet shawl is a favourite of mine. Well written, a pleasure to knit, and simply beautiful. Also makes a great knit print :)

Graphic with a bright orange sun featuring the logo of the Addison's Disease Self-Help Group. Bold yellow text then reads “Hot Weather,” followed by smaller black text “with Addison’s & adrenal insufficiency.” Below the text are illustrations of steroid-dependent medical alert wristbands, a bottle of water, a salt shaker, and an NHS Steroid Emergency Card. The website www.addisonsdisease.org.uk is displayed at the bottom.

Infographic with an orange gradient background featuring a sun logo from the Addison’s Disease Self-Help Group. The graphic provides hot weather advice for people with Addison’s disease or adrenal insufficiency, including: stay well hydrated (with water icon), keep your salt levels up (salt shaker icon), ensure your fludrocortisone dose is adequate, beware of light headesness and listen to your body (pill icon), keep alert information, such as steroid cards and medical jewellery, with you at all times (exclamation icon), check if any of your medication needs to be kept at a certain temperature and how they should be stored (thermometer and sun icon), and stay cool, slow down, and keep out of the sun (sunglasses emoji). Website www.addisonsdisease.org.uk is shown at the bottom.

Suns out, stay safe 😎 Temperatures are set to rise this week 🔥

If you have Addison's disease or adrenal insufficiency, there are some extra precautions to take in hot weather to help you stay well. Here are our top tips for handling the heat ➡️ www.addisonsdisease.org.uk/travel-tips
