Yay! Chris’s report: they are very warm and comfortable (I was afraid they were too tight, but he says not.) Warm, except the fingertips! He wants me to knit little tip-caps. I will, of course… later.

thumbing the controls — Feb 6, 2010 at 3:59 pm |

It’s hard to see here, but by far the most difficult part was the thumbs. I couldn’t just pick up the stitches around the thumb and knit up, because you could see very well that the directions didn’t match. I knit the thumbs tip down and then attempted to graft them on. How on earth do you Kitchner with two colors!? I couln’t find anything about it on the internet (Internets, you have failed me!). So I tried to do one color first, then the other. It worked passably well, but the join is by no means invisible.

Over the last couple of months I’ve been taking random iPhone pics here and there. And here they are. A little peek into our days.

Moving Out of Town — January 2, 2010 |
||
|
We checked out of the hotel downtown (it was a nice hotel, but expensive plus expensive parking; we moved out to the wastelands near the miles and miles of shopping malls… hey, I needed to do some shopping.)

We had some time to spend waiting at the San Francisco airport, and Apl spent some of it rifling around in the suitcase. She’s so cute!

On the day Apl and I arrived back in Oslo, we opened the presents Grandma Susie sent home with us, and there was a package from Mercedes waiting, too!
