Hiking in the Mountains

I'm ready to go back to Camp Loopy tomorrow. This time I'll be hiking in the mountains as I attempt to make mittens with cables. I'll have some company since my Counting Sheep has decided to come with me to camp. He's number 55.

Between sessions of camp, I have been working on my Kudzu shawl. I've done more since this picture was taken. I'm really liking the results.

Last Sunday I went to our local theater to see a production of Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None". One of the characters, an older woman, knit almost all the time she was on stage. She truly was knitting, not just waving her needles around. She seemed to be making something brown and square...maybe it was the start of a scarf. I wondered if she continued working on the same project for the run of the play. Maybe she'd end up with an actual finished object. Anyway, at one point she said, "Where is my other skein of wool?" Needless to say, she ended up murdered. This was an Agatha Christie story, after all.

Love those mittens. I don't think I'm going to make it to camp for the 2nd session either, but I do want to make those mittens before winter!

Your knitting actress reminded me of my cousin's crocheting role in a school play years ago... I think she tinked and re-did the same single crochet chain over and over...

I had a counting sheep once, too, but I'm not sure where he ended up.

Very pretty shawl and I love the color of your mittens.
