I arrived back in Alaska yesterday afternoon. As nice as the sun was down in California, it is so nice being back in the rain. The only sad thing is that I put my husband on a plane this morning and won't see him until Friday.
I signed up to knit 2 pairs of socks. I figured I could handle that while on "vacation". Oh, boy, was I wrong. I finished one pair, started the second, and proceeded to frog the second pair this morning because it was the wrong yarn for the pattern.
Thank you for letting this interloper from California knit for the team! :)

Checking in from California...
Man, there are so many choices down here I'm overwhelmed. I miss Ketchikan!!!! I fly back on Sunday. I've done so much shopping that I have to pay for a second suitcase. I'm also mailing a box of stuff I don't want on the plane home today. Whoops.
I haven't been knitting much since being down here, but I did push myself to finish one pair of socks for the Ravelympics. :) I finished Bellatrix yesterday. I love how they turned out. I started Muscari yesterday, but I don't think it's going to be a fast knit. 91 stitches for size large socks on size 0 needles. Eeek. What was I thinking?
So, here's my Bellatrix. :)
Have a wonderful Alaska day! I know I said I wanted 100 degree temperatures, but today is supposed to be hot, hot, hot down here. I'm going to melt! I'm starting to look forward to the Ketchikan Liquid Sunshine!!

Hello from Ketchikan!
Greetings fellow Team Mates!
I'm Barb and I currently hail from lovely Ketchikan, Alaska. I am a transplant to the fair state, my husband is in the US Coast Guard and the powers that be decided it was time for us to come North.
This year I am competing in the SockPut. I will be in California visiting friends, family, and attending a funeral from August 12 - 24, so I decided to knit 2 pairs of socks during the Ravelympics. I am also working on Summer of Socks '08 this year.
It is a sunny, beautiful morning here in Ketchikan. Hubby took the day off work today, so I have a feeling we're going to go hit a trail at some point.
Have a great day!
