New stuff to report

I've been lax on writing! I successfully accomplished knitting while riding on a mechanical bull this summer. Granted, the man wasn't having it go super fast to whip me off so that I would hurt myself or damage the equipment. But still! It has been done. I also knit in the dunk tank again (no new pictures)

I should have gotten photos of me knitting while IN a waterfall this summer considering I worked at Gooseberry Falls State Park all summer but it just didn't work out. Either the water was flowing too hard, or the weather wasn't right, or I was too busy.

I still have the goal of knitting while jumping on a trampoline and it almost happened this fall but we just didn't get the chance to get over to a friend's house who had a trampoline. It WILL happen. Naturally, I'm still knitting in the more basic "weird" locations like restaurants, movie theaters, doctor's office, waiting in line, etc. But those aren't really worth photos except in rare cases.

On a recycled crafting front, last week I got busy making new cloth gift bags after not being able to make them for about two years. I had severely depleted my supply so it was nice to have more to work with for wrapping presents. I also went on a envelope spree the month previous. I had gotten a bunch cut and folded quite a while ago but hadn't gotten them glued. Got those finished and then moved on to cutting and folding a whole bunch more. I really need to write some letters to my penpals so I can use some of them again.

Its been a long time

Wow...I knew it had been a while since I posted. Didn't realize how long until I looked today, after talking to someone about the photos.

I have done some of the ones on my list from 2013, and if I can get the computer to cooperate I'll share the pictures. I did knit in bee gear, while on roller skates (although the lighting was poor so picture is crummy) and I've done ice skates. I've also done a dunk tank for real, rather than just while sitting on the dunk tank seat. Got some pretty sweet pictures too. Also last fall I got some fun pictures of others with my knitting, including sword fighting with someone and having someone juggle it. In general I haven't been knitting as much due to assorted wrist and arm pain but I like getting the fun photos when I get the chance.

I'm having trouble finding some of the photos I wanted so this will have to suffice for now.
