Snowshoeing in the fog

This afternoon I drove up to Coal Bank Pass and went snowshoeing for a bit. Once I got up there it was really foggy and gray - very cool looking. Here are a few of the photos I took.

The snow depth marker - 5 feet deep!

You'd think these were taken with black and white film! Even in the fog it's so gorgeous here!

I learned to knit!

In October I took a knitting class at our local shop called Yarn. We learned to make hats. My first attempt was too large and as soon as I put it on it fell to my chin, so I ripped it out and redid it (i love that about knitting). The second attempt looked all wonky so I ripped that out and finally got it on the third attempt. By then I had learned to switch colors so I made it striped. Then made a second (or fourth) one for Julie.

I wanted to learn to knit because it's portable artwork. You can take it anywhere, even backpacking!

Now I am working on a scarf and then some felted knit Christmas stockings for 2009.
