Meghan and Sam came down for a quick visit last weekend and we had a good day on the mountain and a evening snowshoe with all 4 goldens. I'm also happy to share that I can now eat food at our apres hangout- The Hop Garden. Telluride Ski Resort is now offering true gluten free options for people like me.
A philly cheese steak may seem like a simple sandwich but being able to eat a real meal instead of pocket snacks is a big deal in my glutarded world.
will knit for wine, bring me the yarn and a bottle of red and you'll see a hat out of the deal- like this creation in green and yellow. The thickest yarn and fastest hat yet. (Burly spun Brown Sheep Company yarn, size 13 circulars, 59 stitches cast on)
Kids hat with big Poms- lots of yarn for crazy thick poms which are then trimmed to create a pretty and uniform look. (Merino Blend, size 9 circulars, 96 cast on)
A finally finished Christmas gift, for Big Dave swapped to doubled pointed to finish the top for the first time and wow- not going back to trying to finish on circulars! (Mini Mochi by Crystal Palace, size 8, cast on 120)
Dave's now on grooming life and my nights are now filled with adventures to tire out the dogs so I can work on my knitted creations. I even took time to hit a crochet class at
Needlerock but it really just proved that I like knitting better. I'm stuck on hats and have lost track how many I've done now. I'm also doing multiple projects at once and have 3 hats currently cast on and in various stages of progress. I like to mix it up with needle sizes and degree of difficulty so I can swap out as needed based on energy level, attention span, color preference or ease of carry for knitting during long meetings which abound this time of year.
