So I decided on the theme UP adventures for the blog, but I will allow myself few more random posts before I begin the new theme. School starts tomorrow, and I am trying to reflect on productive and good things that I did during the break. I am happy to not only have started and finished Alan's sweater, but I am proud that I finally finished the sweater I started for myself last February. I stopped working on it because I couldn't figure out how to knit the hood; luckily, my good friend Katy was able to help me with this over Christmas. This was my second attempt at making a sweater for myself. The first one was too short in the torso, and then I accidentally felted and shrunk it. This one was also too short in the torso, but I was able to block it. (The blocking messed up the hood a bit, but made the sweater a bit longer.) For any knitters out there, I recently joined the online community ravelry.com, and I would encourage you all to do the same. It is a very useful site.
This is a shot from the Noquemanon trail. This trail system has 60K of trails, and this was somewhere around the 20K mark (I think) and also on the advanced loop, accessible at the Forestville Road trailhead. Lake Superior is in the background, but I don't think you can see it in the photo.
This is a shot from Alan's birthday ski. We were bushwacking through the forest looking for "The Top of the World" near Harlow Lake. We didn't find it, but had fun anyway.
