Angie made a comment the other day about a radio show that featured mountain climbers naming their "seven peaks of mountain climbing." I take that to mean their ultimate climbing experiences.
She asked about the seven peaks of knitting. What would they be for you? So far for me it’s my Marina sweater, my Charlotte’s Web done in glitter alpaca and kid silk mohair and may be my first Fair Isle, a combination of Philosopher’s Wool patterns. I need four more peaks to make a complete set.
On the topic of Charlotte’s Web, I taught my first Charlotte’s Web class last night. It went as I expected, which was pretty good, but I’m not sure everyone else feels that way. Those of you who have done one know the learning curve. Really, these guys did pretty well. Ignore any nasty comments that appear on this blog 🙂 A reminder for those of you who took the class – remember, when you put in your lifeline, go around your stitch markers, not through them. I’m not sure I made that clear and I hope I haven’t sent anyone overboard with a poorly placed lifeline.
I really enjoyed all your kidisms. I remembered another one – Elina referred to the car park at the mall as the "too dark."
Some Marina relief, how about a photo of my WalMart orchid, $14.97CDN and still blooming after four months. At one point it had eight blossoms:
Or my Christmas Cactus that has bloomed for six months. OK, I have two different plants in the same pot and they bloom sequentially; all I have to do is turn the pot around for the full effect:
