i gotta be quick, but i miss you

ok, so really, i wasn’t kidding about the snow following me—it has been everywhere i go. first denver got slammed twice while i was there.

it made for good knitting and sleeping weather though. normally i’d head out after a day in the studio to roam around the neighborhoods and look for an interesting place to eat, but when the streets are full of wet, deep snow, i eat in the hotel and knit while i wait for my dinner to arrive.

fortunately, the weather did not cause any great disruption in our production schedule and we kept the whole class shoot right on schedule.

this is colleen and alex, doing a little backtracking when a software crash caused us to lose a bit of one of the lessons, but thanks to them both, we were able to re-do it without a complicated porocess of resetting.

this is david, the camera guy, shooting some stills at the end of the production.

i even got to knit a little bit on set during this production which is kind of a first for me, yay! i think we even did some photos of me knitting this sweater; better breakfast is acting like even more of a diva now, haha.

right after the production wrapped on friday, i took a car to the airport and headed off to utah to visit our beloved kimkimkim. just look at the place she lives in; it’s astoundingly beautiful.

i took these photos yesterday on our walk. i have to say that when she moved from san diego; i was really sad; i had come to adore her back yard view there and her proximity to the beaches and ocean.

but i have to say, if anywhere can come close to comparing with that, it’s her new home here in utah.

i mean, wow, right?? (and yes, sigh; it did snow last night; the first they’ve had since christmas, can you believe my luck? more on the weather in the next post).

and this is just the view from the back yard. i took so many more photos yesterday that i didn’t have time to get them ready for this post. we sat and gazed out on this view (without the snow) yesterday morning while we knit for a few hours.

i’m just about ready to bind off for the underarm shaping in my sweater back now, yay!

after which, we decided to go out for a walk so kim could show me the neighborhood. this is a little farm smack in the middle of her subdivision that has camels, sheep, goats, rabbits, donkeys, horses, and more. we love it.

i have so much more to show you from just the one day i’ve been here, but i really have to stop for the moment; i’m traveling north today for a visit with cousins i haven’t seen since i was a kid and i need to get on the road.

but i’ll be back later; we have two sock patterns to celebrate the start of sock madness month and some delicious yarn to go with them.
