proof! (and a bonus for being so patient)
here are those eyelet legwarmers! they are merrily blocking on the kitchen table as we speak. or write. or i write and you read. (note that the one on the right is upside down in the photo.)i hope this cheap red heart super saver yarn takes the blocking as well as the linen blend i used for the christmas miracle scarf and hat.
now i have to figure out how to sew a nice seam. i haven't really done that before.
...and here is your bonus for being so patient. i took this photo from a moving convertible back in september, 2001 during our cross-country road trip. we were right outside of moab, utah, on our way to the moab jazz festival. that's how amazing utah is -- you can just aim a point and shoot camera out the car window and snap a picture and you can capture something as beautiful as this.

I love love love them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You're awesome. Thanks for waiting to take your knitting hiatus. :-)
The legwarmers look great. My advise for seaming - have good light and go slow :) I keep a book open in front of me with the instructions on how to do it, and I think that all of my seams have come out nicely. I still get out my book to seam, since I haven't done a ton of it (at least to get me started).
good advice emily, thanks!
Yeah -- excellent picture! I haven't been to Utah (yet) and it looks gorgeous. Hooray for the legwarmers. I hate seams so I do mine in the round on 12" circs. The stitch pattern looks great and I can't wait to see it!
I got here through a maze of links and interconnected knitting blogs. Scrolling around I came across your pick from Utah (Castle Valley) and it made me so happy. I'm from Utah, SLC to be exact and lived in Moab as a kid. Now I'm in VT and haven't been out West for 13 years. I miss the red rock and your picture let me have a little of that. Thanks.
