+ I have arrived back home in one piece. :V All in all, it was a nice trip, and I'm glad I went. I'm unsure if I prefer Victoria in spring or late autumn... either way, it's nice to get away from Fort McMurray weather for a while.
+ Currently working on a scarf in linen stitch with stockingette bands*. A little different from some patterns I've tried previously - I've never done a stitch that reqires two separate colours; most of the colourwork I've done is just stranded fair isle type stuff. It was a little frustrating until I figured out exactly how it works. Anyway, I'm using Urth Harvest Worsted for it, in grey and black - I'm really liking this yarn a lot; it feels nice on the hands. Though I must say that knitting with size 11 needles feels so awkward to me. They're so... FAT.
+ Provincial election coming up next week... I think I will see about advance voting on Saturday. Hadn't given it much thought, but I'm remembering that last time was an absolute pain in the ass when I tried to do things on the actual day-of. Will be nice if I can get it out of the way and over with beforehand. I'm really concerned about how things are going to go - I'm worried the province will flip conservative again. It seems very likely. (And then it'll stay that way for a few decades... again....) My area is probably going to go UCP no matter what, unfortunately. But I'm going to try not to worry too much, because that won't help anything.
