We have had some seriously thick marine layer the past couple of days! It doesn’t help that living way out here at Winchester Canyon we are on a bit of a jetty so it tends to stick around longer. Yesterday afternoon it finally cleared up so I headed outside to take some p-hotos to share with y’all!
I am not sure if you can tell but that is wall of fog coming our way. A little ways out from the power lines there should be some 50ft tall eucalyptus trees, no more! It just creeps in & then you only have like a quarter mile visibility! Crazy! This morning it’s like living in a haze, but at least I am living & have a haze to be in!
I worked on a couple of things last night. I managed to get the back of the fair isle to the point where it is on a stitch holder waiting for the other pieces to be joined. I cast on for the sleeve and got through the ribbing and the little bit of fair isle work on the lower arm.
Of course I did all this while being scared out of my wits watching The Ring 2! Gotta love those scary movies! I also hanked up the yarn for my dads sweater to wash it before starting to knit with it. It got a soak overnight in some wool wash & a good conditioning to make it even more soft. It’s not soft yarn to begin with so I will take what softness I can get with it.
I also managed to work out just how I want the colors of wool of the andes to go into the fair isle sweater. I am using yarn I already have so it’s gonna be a bit of a mix of funky colors. Here they are just waiting to be fairisled!
So with the weather so nasty I am going to drink my coffee, knit a bit and somehow get the motivation to clean! Woohoo! Happy knitting Thursday!
