Weird

The weather is weird – after a few really hot days (around 43 C at the peak) it became very windy and it really cooled off yesterday and even rained in the late evening. Today it is still quite cold for May and grey and the rain keep coming to visit – I am so happy!

The weirdest thing just happened – I downloaded a bunch of photos I took earlier of the Argosy Scarf I knitted for Sam. I saw them in the folder and wanted to delete one that was really fuzzy, I chose it and clicked the delete and all the photos I downloaded disappeared, I can’t find them anywhere, that piss me off, the scarf is on its way to Toronto so I can’t take other photos,,, oy oy oy!

Did you ever knit while you sleep? No, not in your dreams, really knit? I think I did it last night. I woke up on the sofa with my knitting in my hands, I finished the row I was working on and turned the work around and as I have to do decreases every other row, I checked where I am and I can swear I should have been at the end of the previous row! My conclusion – I was knitting and sleeping at the same time! Today when I picked up my knitting and start working I noticed I knitted many stitches into the yarn – just another proof I was indeed asleep while I knitted these stitches! – I think this should be entitled the weirdest but the previous sentence doesn’t go well with weirder so I think I will have 2 weirdest if you don’t mind!

To entertain you, here are some photos taken during our camping trip last weekend:

Knitting in the Morning Knitting on the Edge Better look at the view at the ridge of the Mogollon Rim, Arizona I am such a serious knitter

In them you can glimpse my Argosy, I knitted it in Lucia of Posh Yarn in the colour: Chorus Line – I enjoyed this yarn so much I knitted it three times before I finally decided I like the Argosy well enough to let the yarn stay in it.

I Am Free Again…

I am free again to go wherever my pretty little heart desire (at least in my dreams). What I mean is – Yesterday, I got my new USA passport (it feels quite weird) and even my Naturalization Certificate managed to find its way back home to me today (they did send them in separate envelopes, so I am not completely crazy,,, and still, I think it is not very high security to send this kind of documents not in registered mail {ackh, those nudnik Israelis,,,}).

To make you forget my constant nagging here are some pretty desert flowers:

Pretty little pink flowers

Poppy I think!

Joe took those photos two or three weeks ago when we hiked near Cave Creek. I am almost sure the yellow one is called Mexican Poppy but does anyone recognise those pretty little pink thingies?
