Sleep or Bats?
Ah. Fair Isles. So much fun -- small gauge, could be tedious, but it's so much fun to watch the pattern build it doesn't matter. Sheer joy.
Here's a close up of the colors in "Oriental Flower":
What fun. I'll have to figure out buttons -- gold? Enamel? I'll see.
We're getting ready for the trip to Albuquerque to see the relatives and eat Real Food. (First stop, straight off the plane: Monroes's Restaurant, for green chile cheeseburgers. Ah. Or maybe the tamales. Or the red chile enchiladas. Ah.
We're also planning a Big Trip down to Carlsbad Caverns -- three adults, three children (5, 6, and 7) down for fun and education. Some of us are especially excited about the bats. We hear that, whilst the nightly Flight of the Bats Out of the Caves is memorable and worth seeing, it's even more exciting when they come back at dawn, and swoop down into the caves. It's my opinion that it would be worth getting up, and getting three little children up, at 0-dark-thirty, in order to see this extravagance of nature. The kids are jazzed about it. My husband and brother -- well, not so jazzed. Sleep or bats? Difficult decision.
Turns out the reason I've had a longer knitting season than I generally do is that -- no surprise here -- it's been cooler this year than usual. Love it when the weather station reinforces reality as I know it.
I'd like summer to finally really arrive. It's sunny here now, and it's warm, but no one trusts it to stay. Even so, I am glad to have gotten so much done from the knitting stash. I'm working SO HARD on making inroads into it. I need just a tiny bit more of the cool weather, to get "Oriental Flower" done. Nevertheless. I'd like to wear some of my summer clothes. Otherwise they're wasting space.
Which, now that I think of it, could be used for yarn.
