- Time of past OR future Camino
- walking every day for the rest of my life
In Santiago after finishing our Patchwork Camino (Voie de la Nive, Baztan, Frances, Salvador, Primitivo, Fisterra) raising money for charity: water, I bought some beautiful cotton. All the time we had walked I had been imagining making a crocheted blanket inspired by the colours we were seeing. In my mind's eye I saw a pastoral scene, but at the end of the day I didn't know how to execute that and so I ended up coming home and making a Ripple Blanket - ripples that echoed the waves of the water, the hills we crossed, the ripples on our wet feet, the ups and downs.......and I made a book to connect the things we saw with the blanket on our bed. Now the rest of the family who didn't walk with us can *see* what we see even though they don't share the memories.
You can take a look at the book if you like....

Now I'm working on a book with our walking story as found in our journals and on the blog along with some of the many photos we took.
