Here knitty, knitty!

Pictures!

I've got some pictures for your viewing pleasure.

Here's my brother Tim, my brother Cory's girlfriend Erin, and me. Don't we
look cool and happy? You can see the tent that Tim and I stayed in in the background. My mom and dad brought the astro-turf to act as the campsite
living room rug.



Tim and Erin again. This is what high heat and high humidity looks like.
Note the camoflage can hugger. It is used to hide alcoholic beverages from
the park security folks.




And here's Graceland. Tim and I were tentmates. You should see how posh
the interior is. That extension cord runs to the RV hookups on our campsite,
and it powers two fans that Tim brought and set up in the tent to try to
cool things down a tad.



Here are a couple of nice views just down the road about a half mile or so.





And here's the loot from my Secret Pal! The yarn is the softest Cascade peruvian wool, and I just love it. The little sheep is a tape measure- you pull it's tail and out comes the tape. It almost sounds like a sheep baah-ing when it comes out too, although my roommate tells me that I am imagining that. And there's a pattern for a felted bag to make with the Cascade, and there's a little tin of the yummiest smelling hand balm. Thanks Secret Pal- you are soooo swell!



I was hoping to start on the felted bag tonight, but I burnt the crap out of my thumb, middle finger, and ring finger on my right hand while cooking a pork chop for dinner. Nothing that warranted a trip to the ER, but it hurt like a mother scratcher (a lovely Arkansas term that I hope you will all start using on a daily basis). I am reduced to typing with just my index finger on that side, and it sure slows things down. Since I can't figure out how to knit with just my index finger it will probably be tomorrow or the next day before I can knit anything at all.
