My Amigurumi




Amigurumi (編み包み lit. Knitted stuffed toy) is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures. Amigurumi are typically cute animals (such as bears, rabbits, cats, dogs, etc.), but can include inanimate objects endowed with anthropomorphic features. Amigurumi can be either knitted or crocheted.

Kids Dog Sled Race
















Today was the kids dog sled race. It was a very close finish with Seena (David Oolooyuk's dogs) coming in first, followed by Tristan in second (Shawn Maley's dogs) and Leona (John Hickes' dogs) in third. There were 10 teams in total. I think all the kids had a fun time and the dogs seemed pretty happy with the warmer temperatures. I will probably be competing in the women's race on Thursday, depending on the weather.

Men's Dog Sled Race
























Today the men raced around Thompson Island. David Oolooyuk won first place and beat all of the other teams by a long shot. It was a good time and everyone made it home safely...some sooner than others.

Crocheting 101




So to pass the time in doors I have recently learned how to crochet. It's amazing what you can make with a ball of yarn and a hook...
