I did start another Iona square and it is almost finished but this past week was all about camping.
Here are a few pictures of our adventures and I will be home on Wednesday so more knitting should ensue. I am worried about my cabling needle getting on the airplane, but I will surrender it if need be.
Here are the falls just down the trail from our campsite.
Here we are at Fish Lake - soooooo crowded!
And yes, there was snow on the ground and got down to -6 the first night so I loved this little resilient plant.
Here we are camped by the Big Horn River.
And here is a picture of one of the little red squirrels that kept us amused.
And the grey jays that kept hoping we would leave the picnic table unattended.
Before I forget - here is my the test knit by Ruth aka Celtic-Knits aka Knitterarium. It is such a fantastic pattern. It turned out so big and lush and I KNOW I will wear it everywhere!
So that is my week - I now have two weeks of reading to do of the other Yoppers but I promise I will get there by the end of the week.
Oooh, Mary-Anne... Your camping pictures are wonderful. I especially like the photo of the falls! And the shawl is beautiful! I love the different textures in it. Another pretty design by Ruth. :)
ReplyDeleteStunning scenery, animated wildlife, family and a divine lush shawl.. I'd call that an A-grade week.
ReplyDeleteThat shawl is beautiful. I was glad to see you camp in a camper not a tent when you mentioned the temperature and snow! Brrr I'm a fair weather camper lol
ReplyDeleteYour camping trip looks amazing and the shawl is beautiful, well done.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos. Looks like the perfect camping trip! We've had a ton of blue jays around lately. Maybe they're getting ready for the change of season?
ReplyDeleteThe shawl is ,gorgeous. Ruth sure has some lovely designs!
Hi Mary-Anne!! Beautiful photos, I love those falls and the squirrel is so cute! Eeek snow! :) Sounds like you had a lot of fun and omgosh, good on your son for his bike ride!
ReplyDeleteOOh, snow! That's amazing that it snowed. :) And the falls are absolutely beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAlso, that shawl looks wonderfully cozy!
I'm glad you managed to get away and found so many lovely sights. How satisfying when a project turns out as good or better than expected. I am celebrating for you!
ReplyDeleteP.S. beautiful photos and when it comes to cable needles on flights, one word: wood.
ReplyDeleteWooden or bamboo immplements don't seem to upset people as much as metal ones. Good luck!
