The San Francisco Treat
Hey all! Prep here. San Francisco is one of Devon's favorite cities, so I was really looking forward to checking it out. We got to meet a few of Dev's online friends, which was great, and just chill out and explore on our own a bunch, which was very relaxing. Here are some pics:
The BART is such a super easy, cheap, nice public transportation system even DEVON could figure it out (and this is a girl who grew up an hour outside NYC and has never ridden the subway alone). Good thing I was there to hail cabs though, or we would have been stuck trudging up and down those city hills all day long...
What a great trip -- we can't wait to go back! Berkeley has joined Portland on the short list of places we might move to. See you soon!
Outside the Embarcadero Ferry Building, in view of the Oakland Bay Bridge. We like this one better than the Golden Gate because the Ferry Building is filled with tons of great food and cute stores!
Devon's FAVORITE thing about SF is the food, so of course we had to go to her favorite hole-in-the-wall taqueria, Pancho Villa, and get some delicioso carne asada quesadillas. Ole!

"I love Oregon!" ~Celeste
(Note: I wrote this post on 9/29 but Blogger was being a pain so I just uploaded it today. Sorry! ~D.)
Hi everyone! Swatchy Prep here. My good friend Swatchy Hugs and I met up in Portland, OR this week to visit our friends Korin and Ruby. Celeste used to live here, but it's Devon's and my first time! We LOOOOOVE Portland! It's such a cool hippy city. Devon likes that she can wear cargo pants and fleece and fit right in (preppy purse notwithstanding - you can take the girl out of Jersey...)
Yesterday we went to Multnomah Falls in the Columbia River Gorge. Hugs did a hike to the bridge, but I hadn't brought my hiking boots so I stayed in the car. They told me it was gorgeous though!

Haha - get it? GORGEous? Hahahaha...
Devon, I told you to stay in the other room! Anyway, the falls were SO BIG! It was definitely unlike anything we've seen on the East Coast.
Later, we headed over to Powell's, the largest independently owned bookstore in... the world... or something cool like that.
in Rehoboth? Hahahaha! Devon, no one else will think that's funny. You had to be there.
They have bike racks outside (It's SO Oregon!) with the names of all different books on them.
Today we drove out to the coast (after a coffee stop, of course -- OR coffee will make a coffee drinker out of anyone), and visited the AMAZING Cannon Beach and Ecola State Park. I can't even describe how beautiful it is, I'll let the pictures do the talking.
And then we grabbed a local brew at a cute little pub -- coffee isn't the only thing Oregon does well!
Devon and I departed for San Francisco and Celeste and Hugs headed to Vegas, baby! We'll miss them!! (stay tuned for updates... including one from Prep that just may knock your handknit socks off)

Warsaw, and Fiber Fests
Howdy Knittah!
So when we left off, I was leaving Bialystok, heading to Warsaw for a little while before my flight back to the States. We took the train, which was pretty fun. It wasn't particularly crowded, so we had a compartment all to ourselves.
It's not a very long ride, just over two hours, and it goes even faster if you have some knitting to work on. (That's a Monkey sock, in STR Lightweight, in the Moss Agate colorway. They're for Vicki's mom.) The countryside is pretty, but it was very grey and foggy, so all the photos we took came out somewhat fuzzy looking.
We got to Warsaw, dropped off our baggage and then headed into town to find a yarn shop. A short bus ride brought us to a metro station, and we went just a few stops on the subway.
Across from the station exit was this huge building, which was built by the Russians back in Communist times. There wasn't time to go inside to the observation floor, but it was still very gloomy out, so I doubt that we missed much.
The yarn shop was... interesting. Usually when you walk into a yarn shop, it's inviting, lots of pretty colorful yarns to reach out and squeeze. I think this was pretty typical for a Polish yarn shop - all machine spun yarns, nothing hand-painted.. Nothing that made me go "Ooh pretty!" It was a tiny little shop, and all the yarns were behind a counter, so we had to ask everytime we wanted to see anything up close.
After buying some basic sock yarn, we went off in a more touristy direction, heading toward the Old Town. Here's the Polish equivalent of the White House.
Nowy Swiat is a larger boulevard which has lots of fancy little boutiques, galleries, and shops. It's normally very pretty, but the combination of weather and construction took away from the experience a bit.
The Old Town was pretty as always. For a long time, I didn't realize that it's actually not that old. At the end of WWII, it was basically reduced to rubble, and has been painstakingly rebuilt, using the old plans, and incorporating as many fragments of the original buildings as they could. It's really impressive, and quite beautiful.
After a very long day of flying, waiting, and lost baggage, we made it back to Buffalo. Happily, there was a small local fiber festival going on the next day. There were lots of llamas, and no ducks, but we were still humming this as we walked around.
Along with yarn and fiber (and llamas), there was a sheep shearing! The sheep was remarkably calm about the whole thing, even after it accidentally got nicked.
That's it for fiber festivals for now, but in just two weeks, we'll be at Rhinebeck! Not only am I planning on buying lots of yarn and knitting accessories, but I'll also be playing Rhinebeck Blogger Bingo on Saturday! I've signed up to be a square, and this fancy tote bag arrived today! If any of you players are looking for me, please come say hi! =)

Not Celebrating Today
Part of our ongoing series on life with CFS.
Thirteen years ago, I walked into a brick wall. Actually, I was walking happily next to the wall when it gathered itself up and jumped on me.
Thirteen years ago, I went to work with a sore throat. By mid-morning, I could barely swallow. When I left work that afternoon, the sore throat had mushroomed into fever, dizziness, headache, weakness and aches so bad that it felt like being hit with a baseball bat. I took home a briefcase full of work, but I spent the next three days sleeping. I don’t even remember if I left my apartment. The following Monday, I went to my doctor. He said I had a virus and to call him in two weeks if I didn’t feel better.
That was thirteen years ago. That was the day CFS moved in to my life.
This blog is about coping with CFS. Noricum and I created Travels with Swatchy so that I could symbolically accompany friends and family on the adventures that CFS has taken from me. But for me personally, October 6th is not about coping and it is certainly not about celebrating. Today I try to remember what I felt like on October 5, 1994: my last day as a healthy person.

Great Place to Go
The Swatchys and their Swatchites are going lots of great places on my behalf! And I think more posts are on their way (Milan? Oregon? Rhinebeck?).
I found another fascinating place that I wish I could go: John C. Campbell Folk School. This school is located in rural North Carolina and offers both weekend and week-long sessions. Classes are offered in knitting, quilting, pottery, beads, weaving, woodwork, glass enameling, and so much more!
Just imagine spending a week in the mountains, studying the craft of your choice and enjoying walks in the woods. Sounds heavenly!

Bye-bye Bialystok!
Howdy Knittah!
Somehow it's already time to get packed to leave. Tomorrow we're taking a train to Warsaw, where we'll spend the next day and a half wandering around the city, exploring the Old Town and looking for yarn shops. The weather is supposed to stay nice until Friday, when we fly back home.
The other day, we took a bus out to the end of the line, and went mushroom picking in the forest. My first mushroom was edible, but the worms had gotten to it first.
It turns out that what I'm best at is finding lots of tiny little mushrooms, the sort that you shouldn't eat if you feel like avoiding digestive problems later.
I did manage to find a few more good ones, but we weren't the only ones out in the woods that day. The mosquitoes were fierce, and any time we stopped walking they attacked. We braved the mosquitoes and stopped to take one more picture, with my last good mushroom. No worms either!
Cheers!

Oh, Canada!
Here I am waiting at Newark Airport, passport at the ready!
Hi Knittah! Well, Devon and I are here in beautiful Toronto...
That's in Canada!
Yes, Devon, she knows where Toronto is. Anyway, today we went to the CN Tower.
This Canadian money looks so funny -- it's all different colors!
Yes, it is. Can I finish telling Knittah about Toronto now?
Oh yeah, sorry.
So the CN Tower is the second tallest building in the whole world.
And they have $1 and $2 COINS instead of bills!
DEVON!
But I want to tell her they're called loonies and twonies.
Are you done now?
Yes. Zip it, lock it, put it in my pocket.
So the view from the observation deck is incredible! You can see for miles -- all of Toronto and out Lake Ontario. We had a drink and a snack at the cafe and sat right next to the wall of windows. I have made great friends with Melanie's 4 year old daughter. She loves carrying me around.
Last night I had sweet potato fries with BLUEBERRY DIJONAISE!
So that's all for today! Good night all! Tomorrow we're going to the Royal Ontario Museum!
WAIT!! Tell her about the black squirrels!!
Drinking some delicious iced tea...
A view of the CN Tower from below -- Whoa!
On the observation deck -- there's also a glass floor you can step out on -- it's wild!
TOOOOOO-Ronto! Toronto! I love ya, Toronto. You're only a--
Go to bed, Devon.

Early Morning Call
I had the great pleasure of an early morning call from - wait for it - MILAN! Swatchy Mama is with escort Kathy in Milan, Italy. Thing 1 was invited to a youth soccer program at AC Milan. They are having a great time. I can't wait to see the pictures, especially because Thing 1 is taking lots of pictures of food and pigeons (not in the same picture, I hope).

Papierosy... spirytus...
Howdy Knittah!
It's been fairly quiet around here - I've been exploring Bialystok, but it's a small city, so it doesn't take too long to get around.
We've been doing some shopping around town, and I've been to most of the bazaars already. You can buy all kinds of stuff here - all sorts of foods, clothing, fabrics.. I haven't seen any yarn, but there has been string and twine.
On Friday it's supposed to be busier, so we'll be heading back to see what else is there. A few years ago, there used to be quite a few people coming in from Belarus, and they had interesting (though not necessarily high-quality goods) to sell. Nowadays there are mostly just Polish folk selling their wares, and random men and women muttering "papierosy... spirytus... papierosy" under their breath. I think it's illegal to buy cigarettes and pure alcohol outside of a proper store here.
Speaking of alcohol, we haven't been going out to pubs much, but we did go to the beer store. I wasn't drunk though, I was just tired and felt like having a nap.
Tomorrow we're going to a large French chain store called Auchan, maybe we'll find something fun?

The Arts
Dear Knittah,
How are you? Tonight Noricum and I went out to the art club. Since she had finished her acrylic painting last week, she didn't know what to paint... so she started painting me:
What do you think? She hasn't gotten very far yet... it took her a while to get started (looking at the art class schedule, thinking about what to paint, getting up the nerve to "mess up" a clean sheet of paper), and then we had to leave early so that her mom could send out an e-mail. (Noricum's mom is on the club executive, and they had a meeting tonight.) She'll probably manage to finish my portrait next week.
Last Friday was pretty exciting around here too. There was filming going on in the neighbourhood for next year's "The Haunting in Connecticut". How exciting! While things were being set up, I snuck in and stole a minute in the spotlight:
Don't I look spooky? Here's some random photos Noricum took:
Later on we got to watch a segment of the movie being filmed. It was where the son was running away from a psych ward to get back to his family. Noricum didn't try taking any photos or movies then... she was worried the film crews wouldn't like it. This seems to have the best information on the movie.
I think the guy said that the other movie we saw being filmed is called Full Of It.
I still have more to tell you about the cabin, and some even older things... I'll try to catch up soon!
Love,
Swatchy

Not So Swatchy in Poland
Howdy Knittah! I made it to Poland early Saturday morning. There wasn't much room on the plane, as it was nearly full, but at least I had a window seat. The skies cleared as we approached Warsaw, and I got to see the surrounding countryside.
Vicki's cousin picked us up at the airport, and drove us straight to Bialystok to her grandparent's house. After a quick lunch, we went to a soccer game. The final score was 0-0, and I had more fun watching the fans than the actual game. Apparently they like to fight the fans of the opposing team, and the police were ready and waiting with a firetruck to hose them down.
I don't think I'm too sure of how all the rules work, but it was easy to tell what was going on - when the fans were happy, there was singing and dancing. When the ref made a bad call.. well, let's just say I learned a few new swear words.
The next day, we walked around town a bit. Here's the street we're staying on, it's called ul. Przygodna - Adventure Street.
We took a walk to the park, then came back by walking through town, past the museum.
That's all for today - the time change is still messing with our internal clocks a bit, and we're sleeping at odd hours. If I take a nap right now, I might be okay later in the evening. Bye!

Swatchy Hugz, meet Swatchy Prep!
Here we are! We're back!Swatchy Hugz has been having a hard time keeping up with his keeper lately, but this Sunday, Celeste and Devon got to meet, with Swatchies in tow!
We were all four so sad that we couldn't relocate the visit to Knittah's place, but we knew that she was recovering from some big time travel... So here are the photos, just for you, Knittah!
Swatchy Prep and Swatchy Hugs
Bonding before the mountain of exquisite yarn Devon's leaving in Celeste's care while she travels the world. You can see how enthusiastic Swatchy Hugz was feeling upon meeting one of his own kind...

Walking The Trails
Dear Knittah,
Noricum's family maintains a network of trails near the cabin. I thought you might enjoy some of the sights.
Near the cabin there's an abandoned gravel pit. The city of Flin Flon used to dig gravel there in the winter time... the gravel could only be dug in the winter because they had to drive across the ice to get to the gravel pit. Recently a family of foxes has been living in the gravel pit. On our walk, we went to check out the various dens:
However, it looks like they haven't been used for some time. Perhaps they were used earlier in the spring and summer, and the family moved out when the kits were older?
Here's a view of the gravel pit from the top, looking down:
You can tell from the size of the trees just how long it's been since the city dug there. (Also, remember that this is northern Manitoba... we counted rings in a tree that was cut down... it's only 4" in diameter, but there were over 100 rings!)
This is the view from the top of "Lookout Mountain":
It's not actually a mountain, but it is the highest point near the cabin, and it has a nice view. If you look closely, you can see one downside of the location of the cabin: Flin Flon is a mining town, and has a smelter operation. When the wind is from the wrong direction, we get to breathe the smelter smoke. Yuck!
This tree at the top of Lookout Mountain is the climbing tree:
Noricum's grandfather carved some of the branches to make it easy to climb higher for a better view. However, the tree is quite old, and the carved branches are now quite brittle. No one climbs it any more.
One of the good things about the location of the cabin is the wild blueberries!
Sadly, our trip was *after* blueberry season. *sigh*
More to come!
Love,
Swatchy
