More hiking and knitting! (and Chuck’s Socks on the way!)
Posted on | September 22, 2007 | 5 Comments
At Raven Rock last weekend – I knit in the company of friends at the Group Campsite:
Yes, thats Chuck no.2 – heel turned and starting on the gussets!
Check out tadandmel.com for a full report from Tad and some great pictures. I was VERY pleasantly surprised by this park – I’d seen pictures of the rock, but it’s really hard to capture it’s size. It was immense for our relatively flat piedmont area and despite the fact that one of the trails is closed indefinitely, there was still a good amount of hiking. We’ll definitely be back, this is another good hike-in option for camping. The day was absolutely perfect – not a trace of humidity in the air and warm but not hot – good excercise, beautiful scenery, good friends, a little knitting…. All in all just good for the soul!
Oh, BTW…..
As I write, Chuck’s Socks are blocking as on my nifty new coat-hanger-sock-blockers (I feel so accomplished – and thrifty!), and my Gryphon design is so near completion I would do backflips if I could!

Those socks look gorgeous, even looking through soapy water! The colors really make the cables pop.
Congrats!

KWH (knitting while hiking) looks fun, and the socks look awsome, even hanging out underwater!

Is now when I totally pull every possible lie out of my bag of tricks and try to get you to send them to me?

ahem. I just won the Nobel Peace Prize! I was made president of my university! I performed CPR on five prominent knitting gurus and totally saved their lives!
Hmph. ‘k – that didn’t work – I’ll have to try stronger measures!
(Hey Mathias &/or Cadence, I’ve got some yummy treats for you if you snag Mommy’s newly-knitted socks away from her and bring them my way!!!!!!!!)
