This sign caught my eye in the NYC airport after we got through security. I couldn't help myself...and I had a spindle in my shoulder bag. So we went away for 10 days to Florida. We have been to Florida before, but never to the Keys and never to the Everglades, so we set off to see stuff we had not previously seen.

Ah yes. Another sunset in Key Largo...

OK, I think this a another Red Shouldered Hawk but tell me if I am wrong! Thanks for looking! I will be back in a week or so with more about the Metamorphosis wrap up and thoughts about Summer 2011. Until then, knit on!
Andrea,
ReplyDeleteI have learned so much from you, I would participate in any summer project! I would be happy to do another sweater, shawl, socks, mitts, whatever. This probably does not help. =(
Loved the photos of your trip!
Sue in CA
Amazing pictures!
ReplyDeleteColour me green with the photo of being on the bow of the catalina 22! Trying to be patient to launch our 24' sailboat in MI. The photos are super, Andrea, showing us things, some of us, have never seen (might not want to, either-the gators). You must have had a grand time and deservedly so, with all the goodies you've shared with us. Thanks. Allyson
ReplyDeleteOohhhhh, I loved the pictures! The Cat 22 reminded me of the Cat 25 we used to own 15 years ago. Oh my, has it been that long? Even now on windy days like today I think of what a great day it would be to go sailing. Would do to do knitting with you but will be moving in June and am getting ready to box up everything. Don't worry, the boxes will be well labeled "Knitting."
ReplyDeleteHello from Janet from Maine! Wasn't it a great week? Semester is finishing up :) and I successfully ran my marathon last weekend!!! And now, back to having a life in fiber . . . . LOVED meeting you and enjoying your blog!
ReplyDeleteHow do you do projects? I'm usually a winter knitter (former Floridian) but am interested in maybe knitting a light-weight shawl...there's a great little knit shop here in Black Mountain, NC, and I bet they'd help me out too. (PS, I make ceramic buttons for them and the Nice Threads weaving & felting shop here)
