Knitting In Mind

Mushroom picking and some knitting

June 21, 2009

Finished with a bit of lacy trim:

Vine Lace
Barbara G. Walker’s “A Treasury of Knitting Patterns”

And delivered:

Happy Birthday!
socks in Koigu KPPPM color 105d &
Planet Earth Fibers silk and bead trim

Also finished:

plain ol’ socks in Trekking XXL color 104

I love the color transitions of Trekking XXL!

And a new thing started on the way to the mountains for mushroom hunting:

Apparently it is the time of year for baby animals.

Baby deer with their mom

On into the mountains…

We found:

mushrooms

Mom says:
“Don’t eat anything bigger than your head.”
(bolete mushroom)

strange flowers

these were growing in gravel with no leaves at all

fabulous views

This was actually a little scary it drops off pretty dramatically. When I lost my balance and grabbed the rock a chunk came off in my hand “AAAAAAAAH!”.

We brought home a few morels and boletes

and then had grilled steaks and morels in cream for dinner, yumm!
