Purl, Interrupted

not just knitting ... an actual F.O.!

Shockingly enough, this will be a post about knitting. I know -- it's hard to believe.

We spent the weekend camping in our wonderful new pop-up camper (which will require a separate post extolling its virtues). It was a very low-key weekend, and I did more knitting than I've done in at least a year. I even finished a project -- a baby hat for the Haas's baby-to-be, Logan.

Here are some action pics of knitting by the campfire (and in front of the pop-up camper).

I did very little knitting this past year, and am am way too embarassed to admit how long it's been since I finished a knitting project. I have about 5 scarves really close to completion but haven't finished anything in a long, long time. But I had a lot of fun knitting this weekend ... made the baby hat and came within about 10 rows of finishing a Noro "silk garden" scarf I've had on the needles since before my shoulder replacement surgery.

The most exciting part of the weekend, knitting-wise, is that it got me re-energized enough about knitting that I'm thinking about starting another sweater. Maybe the cardigan in Hip to Knit. I have a sweater's worth of grey cashmerino to work with, so want something worthy of really nice yarn....
