In which I show Cookie how it's done ...

While driving up to Seattle, I realized one reason to take pictures of one's knitting while on the road. It's so that you can pretend to be knitblogging, when really you're just taking a picture of the scenery. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, I'm just saying, it all became clear to me.

Then I thought about Cookie and how she was starting to have questionably knitting-related blog content, and seemed to be feeling a bit awkward about it. Here's what you do:

That, my friends, is a Pomatomus, almost done, thinking about climbing Mt. Lassen. Mt. Lassen was beautiful, by the way. Cookie will be there this weekend, so I thought she could use this tip. Though she is traveling with more non-knitters than knitters (I know, right? Who would do such a thing?), so they might have to question her sanity.

Also, at BobaKnit tonight (again, knitting and boba, the two great things that are great together) we somehow got on the topic of my love for the Sundial Bridge again. You know, somehow, as in, I love the thing so I probably brought it up. Anyway, one of my night time shots:

See how I did that? Segued from knitting group to Sundial Bridge picture? Oh yeah. And that, Cookie, is how it's done.

We can all learn from the master! I was wondering how to wedge in more pics of my flowers and garden on my blog, but now I know! Just put my wips on a flower bed and snap away! Thanks for the pattern, by the way. I went stash diving yesterday to see what I could use to make Sarcelle. must!start!immediately!

I can see why you love this bridge.

Yeah, I totally need to remember to bring knitting with me to photograph. Even if I'm not actually knitting at the time. Can't wait for Mt. Lassen! Woohoo!

That sky is amazing. The bridge is too. It reminds me of this bridge in Rotterdam.

BTW, what is "Boba"? Just curious.
