Snow Shoes, Arizona Style :)

For Valentine Day weekend, we went up north and stayed in a lovely Bed and Breakfast in Williams, AZ . On Saturday morning, it snowed so we went to check out the Grand Canyon to see how it looks in white:

Unlike the lady above, we were quite cold:

And at long last had a chance to put some of my knitting creations to good use. Beside those you can see in the photo above, some others were hidden inside our shoes:

The day was clear and sunny but quite cold and the icicles will prove it was not my Arizonan exaggeration:

And if you are wondering about my meshushim: after about a week of knitting meshushim all the time, even I had to admit there is no way I can knit 400 or even 200 of them before March 27, so I put it aside and since then I am trying to knit a shawl for my mother’s 80 birthday, I am not happy with anything I knit, but I keep trying!
