green river trip

this trip already feels like ages ago - it makes me a little sad to think about it... i hate it when the fun stuff that you look forward to comes and goes! and always waaaay too quickly!

getting ready:

on the river:



hike up side canyon to see some amazing pictographs:

and of course the trip would not have been complete without a little knitting on the side...

apparently i knit with my eyes closed and smiling like a big dork! that sock (pomatomus knit in str rolling stone meduimweight) weathered the miles of sand and rapids tucked safely in a little dry bag clipped to the front of my boat. the things we do for our knitting / required eccentricities. my fellow travelers on this trip could not believe i was knitting such a fancy sock! i admit i felt proud showing it around. it is pretty amazing to be able to whip up a complicated lace and ribbing sock, ain't it!??
