Purl, Interrupted

in an astonishing turn of events

i've finally started knitting again!

i just returned from a 3-day trip to Kake, Alaska. this was supposed to be a 1.5-day trip, but i did receive plenty of advance warning about how often flights get cancelled in southeast alaska. so i packed extra clothes, and a long-unfinished knitting project.

the project is an irish hiking scarf knitted with 1-strand each of wool and cashmere. it's very pretty, although not as soft as i thought it would be. anyway, i had lots of time to work on it while stuck in kake for an extra day.

here is a photo of me this morning, finally leaving kake, with my knitting project in hand. you may notice that i'm sitting in the co-pilot's seat. this is why living in alaska is endlessly hilarious to me.

to put this trip into perspective, here's a photo of the kake airport.

here's a photo i took of kake as we were taking off this morning.

and here's one more photo from the (just slightly terrifying) flight back to juneau.

incidentally, i didn't manage to finish the scarf, but i'm coming close. it's been so long since i actually worked on a knitting project. it's nice to be back in the saddle again.
