Anyway - I've been busy traveling and knitting and stuff as usual. I even got to be a tourist for a little while - on Thursday last week. I got out of work a little early and decided to go up to Sandia Tramway and mountain.
It was gorgeous! I couldn't believe how high it was. The altitude was over 10,000ft! There was snow on the ground and the wind was howling. It was a great view of the city though and well worth the $15 to get up there.
The tram ride was a little scarier than I thought it would be. The car was shaking in the wind and it was a LOOOOOOOOOONG way down. There was some crazy guy riding on TOP of the tramcar!
I got a lot of knitting done during my week away too. I finished my multi-directional scarf that I started at Woolwinders Sunday in the Salon last week. I love the yarn - it's Manos.
I also decided to practice some cabling and started this cool bag. I just need to add handles now, a lining and stitch the whole thing together.
At Sunday in the Salon this week - we started these cool beaded bags. I may end up ripping my back and starting again though- I didn't have a small enough needle for my yarn and it looks a little messy with the size 5 I used.
Here’s Shelby and Margaret:
and the rest of the group from last week….(Sorry no pics from this week!)
In other news - I am also working on my sock for Sock Wars!! I am done with the first one and just about to start the second - but then I got an email from my assassin saying she put my socks in the mail on Monday. No!!!! I'll be dead before the week is out. But I am glad that I will be getting some socks!! Yeah! I may even be able to finish the ones I'm making before they arrive. I wish I knew how what happened then.... If I get my socks out - but receive socks in the meantime - what happens? Am I still dead?
Oh well. I'll leave you with this gorgeous photo of Sandia mountain taken at 6:30 am last Friday as I was packing my car to leave. Isn't it gorgeous!
And I came home to this on Friday – My Clematis is blooming again – yeah!!
YOU'RE IN SOCK WARS???? I know SHelby was doing it and I was living it through her, but as my husband put it, war doesnt take Sat's off, but Shelby did. RIP Shelby.
ReplyDeleteI thought my Sock Wars vicarious experience was over..

KNIT WOMAN! KNIT!
How did I miss seeing those lovely flowers when I was over your house on Saturday? Could it be the mad dash to make a sock a day for sock wars???????????????????????? I think my hands are cramping. If I wasn't in need of more money for more yarn- I would have called out dead from work already. I cannot knit at work!!!!!!!!!!!! Does anyone have a job they can knit at work? If so, please let me know ASAP!
