These are destined to be SOS pair #3. Really. The color IS that bright!!

So, what happens when the fiber goddess and the neuroknitter get together on a Tuesday evening? Play time!!! Well, at least one of us plays....The other one captures it on a memory card for eternity!!
Some of us knit toe up....
and some, cuff down....
Some of us dig the picot action. Alot.
It's all good. Just knit!
Picking fresh strawberries from the garden!
knitting....
...watching the hypericum and
tomatoes grow!
Lets not forget about marathon TV...literally and figuratively (Thanks Wool Girl...yum!!!)...
And having Max help me with the blogging

I hope you all had a good weekend!!
Here is the front of the A-frame cabin I shared with another investigator...
and here is the view upon entry! I slept downstairs and had all that glorious morning light waking me up!!
Here is more of the view from the deck of the A-frame.
After a day of creative thinking exercises, we enjoyed a big...really big camp fire.
I hiked (long walk) around Blue Lake early Tuesday morning. It's gorgeous, yes?
Remember the Biscuit fire in Oregon in 2002? 500000 acres were burned! The site in which Caldera Art Center rests was in the thick of it, yet thankfully survived unscathed...you can see the burned trees in the picture above. You can read more about it here and see more pictures here.
It was a good retreat. Learned alot. Met some very inspiring people.
We also learned about the development of the new MS campaign Join the Movement.
Check out the video on their site.
Check out the Wall here.
Powerful stuff.
BTW, that is a picture from my sister of the Adriatic Sea via the Island of Kolocep! Don't you wish you were there!? Me, too....
Finally, a flash of the stash from BSG!
Medium weight STR in Calico, Minestone, and Backstabber (a gift! Thank you T!!)
A little Backstabber and Calico up close and personal!
From Capistrano, some skeins for Alina! She couldn't make it to BSG, but called and said I could shop by proxy for her!! Yeehaw!!! She is going to be busy fair isling and bobbling!!
Three Knitspot patterns purchased from Crown Mountain! If you haven't experienced the knitting that flows from Anne, go over and check out her Bee shawl...go now, I'll wait.... I so can't wait for that pattern to become available!!!
I am off to a retreat at Caldera Art Center to discuss creativity in research.
See you back here on Tuesday!!
Stay cool and happy knitting!
