It was a grand trip. Intellectual stimulation. Catching up with old friends, some of whom I hadn't seen in a decade. Falling under the spell of Seattle in the summer.
There was no knitting, as you might gather. But my knitting life did profoundly color the trip, as I stayed with a friend who used to be in my knitting group in Phoenix. Actually, she moved to Seattle just before I moved to Phoenix, so we never overlapped. But she's a fantastic virtual member of the group on Ravelry, and she still visits from time to time, and she generously opened her place to me even though we hardly knew each other in real life. Isn't the knitting community awesome?
Lovely photos! Yes, I am always awed by how friendly, helpful, and generous knitters (or any other fiber-related people). I'm sure this trip provided you with plenty of inspiration for future knitting endeavors.
ReplyDeleteoops! meant to say "...generous knitters ARE..."
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I a making up yet another of your Storm Cloud Shawlettes - #3. Such a fun and fairly mindless project to work on. Great for those times when you want something simple...yet it is so elegant. I just love how these drape! Thanks for working it up and for sharing with the rest of us. (And BIG thanks to EZ for the initial inspiration!)
Oooooh...I love Seattle. Looks like the weather was beautiful while you were there.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos! It's always nice connecting with old friends.
