Over the weekend, Mountain Man and I joined some friends in the Chiricahua National Monument, which is one of the "sky islands" southeast of Tucson. It's a gorgeous and rugged place, almost unworldly, with these wild pinnacles rising high above the desert.
We took the scenic route there and back, giving us a solid ten hours of driving over the weekend. Between that and the quiet camp mornings, I thought I'd finish my current knitting project, but it was not to be. So, here's just a snippet of a progress shot for now:
And after all that blue, wouldn't your eyes like a shock of another color? I'm happy to oblige with an Engelmann's prickly pear flower, shining in the midday sun.
We went camping on the weekend, and I thought I'd get more done that what I did knitting-wise. I did finish a bag, it's felted and drying now. Better than nothing. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat photos!
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous I can't quite see straight!! Miss you all, and the luscious colors!
ReplyDeleteCan I ask, do you ever get told off for knitting when you should be watching the "scenic" scenic route... is it just me?xxxxx
ReplyDeleteLove the knitting you did accomplish! I love blues. The flower is neat.
