Memorial Day

We got back from Utah late Tuesday night, so yesterday was your typical lazy day. We unpacked, I worked for a bit, and then we tried to recover from the long drive. We did a lot of climbing, a few great hikes to viewpoints where you could see the entire Nebo mountain range and all the little towns and farms dotting the landscape, and ate like the starved and hungry climbing savages that we were. I pulled the tendon in my left ring finger on our 4th day of climbing, so I wasn't able to climb--or knit--on the last day. Photos from Maple Canyon are now posted in my photolog.

I made progress on the back of the lace camisole, about 6" worth. I knitted on the 10-hour drive North, and then for a few days at camp. It's sadly rumpled from being in the bottom of my backpack, and there are two lines that are visible in the knitting where I stopped on each day. All it needs is a good blocking, though. I should be able to finish the back by tomorrow, as the pulled tendon doesn't hurt as much anymore.

Jenifleur and Laura of JenLa have put together a California Knit Bloggers ring. Very kewl. It's great that they're putting together the Cali community. I've been to 3 yarn shops so far and I'm still looking for a place close by where I can feel comfortable, hang out and do the s&b.
