We’re back from a week in Kona, Hawaii. It was warm, wonderful, and very relaxing. And now I’m home with access to my stash, so I could have another crack at knitted words.
My guess was correct: Bigger yarn and tighter gauge, along with more tonal contrast, makes my letters much more readable. These letters are from the Knit Hello ebook by Rüdiger Schlömer. You can order a copy of this ebook from Modern Daily Knitting if you’d like to knit your words, too. What would you have your knitting say?
My favorite vacation activity was watching the Geminid meteor shower over several nights. At first I was watching at 5 am, because Orion is setting into the sea at that time, and Gemini is just above and to the right.
But then I realized that the meteors were all over the sky, not just out of Gemini. So I started watching in the evenings, too. Sometimes it’s easier to stay up late than to get up early!
One of our adult kids came to join us in Kona; we had fun doing the usual: Turtle spotting, star/meteor-gazing, tide pooling, hanging out on beaches, admiring sunsets. It’s nice to have some time to catch up with each other.
Now it’s time to get ready for Christmas! The tree is up.
This is my favorite ornament.
Aloha!
