I purposely live without a car on San Juan Island, so the Island Airporter is a convenient way to get to SeaTac. (From there I take the light rail into Seattle.)
Getting to the Friday Harbor ferry landing by 5:00 a.m. makes for an early start to the day. On the plus side, though, the ferry and shuttle are places to knit, and I like seeing first light over Anacortes.

The Old-Fashioned Holiday Market at the Brickworks is a festive collection of island artists and beautiful treasures.
I found:
• Beautifully dyed alpaca/wool yarn from The Farm at Krystal Acres.
• My favorite chocolate from Inspired Earth Tea
• Greeting cards of the front and back of Bjorn Ironside the Viking Gnome
• A handblown glass ornament from The Glass Underground in swirls of deep orange and green.
The Brickworks pig was decked out Santa garb.
Thursday was cool, overcast, and drizzling, a perfect day for knitting cozy aboard the interisland ferry. Shades of green and gray. Water, land, and sky. Photos through rain-streaked windows, reflections like invading spacecraft. A calm and peaceful place to knit that's not a fluorescent-lit interior room.

In conclusion, here are 15 seconds panning across the very brightly lit market floor.

Calm water, misty sky, and Washington state ferry M/V Yakima arrives at the Friday Harbor landing on San Juan Island.
When I slide my ballot into the Official Ballot Dropbox at the San Juan County Courthouse, I often post yet another photo of it.
Predictable? Yes.
Any better thing to be predictable about? No.

It’s a damp, cloudy 49° here. Without thought, I put on a windbreaker, brought my coffee to the porch, and immediately felt myself relax. Today, change was just a few steps away.

For my mother’s birthday I like to do things she might have enjoyed. Yesterday was one of those golden autumn days that was perfect for knitting on the interisland ferry. The sky was magnificent, and my Dignity Cap design sample (size L worsted) is ready for crown decreases. Happy birthday, Mama.
