Wednesday, February 23, 2011. WIP Wednesday: DIY Clothing? One of my many goals (fantasies? Is to start making, altering, upcycling my own clothing. I really don't believe that I have great fashion sense, but there is plenty of inspiration out there to help me along the way. Of course I'd like to express my creativity, but this goal of mine is also environmentally and financially motivated. My first project: Rosa's Sleeveless Cardi. Ravelry link) from Emma Fassio Knitting. Sunday, February 6, 2011. Looki...

Gjetost: Canyonlands, part 2
http://gjetost.blogspot.com/2012/04/canyonlands-part-2.html
Thursday, April 26, 2012. Canyonlands, part 2. If you missed it. This is a trip we took at the beginning of April. We had just two nights of camping in the backcountry of the Needles district, but that provided enough photographic wonders for two blog posts. Here's our Chesler Park campsite for the second night. We got there relatively early because it was not a far walk from the first campsite. Here we are at the bottom of the canyon, walking up a sandy wash southward toward Druid Arch.

Gjetost: Turkey Weekend in the Canyon
http://gjetost.blogspot.com/2013/12/turkey-weekend-in-canyon.html
Friday, December 6, 2013. Turkey Weekend in the Canyon. Near the top, the Hermit Trail meanders along a side canyon before opening up into the main canyon. The lovely Santa Maria Spring reststop, about 2.5 miles into the canyon. A view of the chocolate milk colored Colorado River. View of the river from the Tonto Plateau. At this point, we headed east along the Tonto trail toward Monument Creek. Friday morning, an eerie cloud hung above making the canyon look much shorter than it is. It was about 5 miles...

trikotajci: April 2008
http://trikotajci.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Trikotajci means "Knitter" in Turkish. Wednesday, April 30, 2008. I found this blog. Today in my searching for cool stuff. It's in Turkish, but the knitting stuff is beautiful! Just like a smile, knitting says the same thing in any language. Tuesday, April 29, 2008. I finished a sock! I am finally finished with one of the Winter Socks on Magic Loop. It was so easy, I can't believe I didn't start socks six months ago! I'm very happy with it, and it actually fits too! Tuesday, April 22, 2008. 8 GANGSTA NAM...

trikotajci: movies

Trikotajci means "Knitter" in Turkish. Sunday, January 11, 2009. Last night we say Gran Torino. Clint Eastwood played Walt, a recent widower. He has lived in the same neighborhood for a very long time, and has watched it change over the years. Now it is mostly populated by the Hmong, and having been in the Korean War, Walt has his own distorted prejudices about these people. Awesome on going to yoga. I've been to yoga once in my life, and it kicked my a$! I was sore for days! January 12, 2009 at 11:53 AM.

Gjetost: Merry Xmas from Arizona
http://gjetost.blogspot.com/2009/12/merry-xmas-from-arizona.html
Thursday, December 31, 2009. Merry Xmas from Arizona. The last minute plan was to head to Chiricahua. For some nice winter desert camping. However, as our trips to Arizona often turn out, we hit a snowstorm. Chiricahua was buried under 6 inches of snow and hidden under heavy clouds. So we continued a bit further west to Cochise Stronghold. Also buried under 6 inches of snow, but with clear skies. The dogs love to play "King of the rock", but they're not match for Troy. Campground near Highway 60 in New M...

Gjetost: Obligatory Balloon Fiesta Photos

Sunday, October 14, 2012. Obligatory Balloon Fiesta Photos. It's been half a year since the last blog post and what has happened that finally makes me post a new blog? This event in my town claims to be the most photographed. Event in the world. I am no photographer, but I happen to have a camera, so here's some enjoyable photos from Saturday. Already a couple of hundred balloons in the air as the sun rises over the Sandias. More balloons are just getting ready to rise. Troy's favorite balloon: Spider Pig.

Gjetost: Geek knitter
http://gjetost.blogspot.com/2012/04/geek-knitter.html
Tuesday, April 24, 2012. My favorite bag turned out to be this one. It is knit from a self-striping yarn (so no real colorwork there) and then felted. After felting, I needle-felted the metro logo using dyed roving. This is my favorite of the three because it turned out strong and protective for the laptop and it was the easiest to make. You can always get more knitting details and links to patterns or charts from my Ravelry project pages. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Gjetost: Carlsbad
http://gjetost.blogspot.com/2012/03/carlsbad.html
Friday, March 30, 2012. A couple of weekends ago we headed down to the Guadalupe Mountains near Carlsbad. Of course, we stopped by the Caverns first and "explored" the well-lit cave with a mob of other tourists on paved pathways with railings. It didn't really remind me of caving or give me that creepy feeling of being deep underground in an environment that humans simply were not intended to be in. But it is an enormous cavern! Which tells me that we're lucky it was only 50mph wind and not 100mph. W...
