First, the beer:
Black Creek has a new beer available in liquor stores - Dray Horse Ale. It's supposed to represent the brewing traditions of Canada in the 1820's, and comes with a history lesson on the side of the bottle. The taste is very malty - with a chocolate flavour that might even be a little peaty. Like all of their beers, it's low on carbonation.
Then, the knitting:
This orange blob has been keeping me company on all of my recent bus trips. It's Knitty's Que Sera pattern, worked in some vintage yarn I found at a liquidation centre years ago. It's nice, simple knitting now that I have the lace pattern memorized - except for the time I realized I put the button hole in the wrong place, and had to rip back two inches of lace worked in grabby mohair yarn. I survived though, and I am a stronger woman for it.
And here's my completed Summer Flies shawl. Finished just in time for... November. Oh well, there's always summer 2013!

Love that sweater...are you also going to wear it while you play a ukelele? Because that would be the best.

Nice shawl Marty! I love it. I will endeavor to be as good a knitter as you and make one in the future.
