| April 9 :: just a bit of Greenland
glaciers, Quebec, then the decorative points and this panel will
be proudly finished. I enjoyed my google images search through
this region. |
|
April 7 :: have passed by the 2/3 point of this panel, knitting
through Spain, England, Scotland, bits of USA ...Canada...Iceland
...Greenland, but I have been ignoring the geography lessons
and just knitted color.
I didn't like the way the photo gallery program made its thumbnails
out of proportion to picture, so I have begun April's
homelife photo pages on my own with my dinosaur Adobe PageMill.
Have you seen Mr. Picassohead? Now, that's some programming
to be proud of.

| April 5 :: Can you name the
countries of South America? Ecuador and parts of Peru (mmm, highland
wool) and Columbia (mmmm,coffee) will be on panel one. Beginning
2nd skein of ocean, another mmmmmmmmmmm xox |

April 2 :: I have knitted my way past the South
Shetland Islands ...
"there goes Mare..."
to Chile/Argentina and the Falkland Islands(which
are only 5 red stitches on the blue speckled Atlantic)
Searching for fun facts via Google Images, this was
my favorite
"This phytoplankton bloom off the coast of Argentina, is
nearly 800-miles long. The bloom runs the length of the image-with
some of the most spectacular features to the northeast of the
Falkland Islands (bottom center). "
What's
a phytoplankton bloom?

Mar 31 :: it has been at the top of my dream list for
over a year, Karl and I have been collecting Donegal Tweed skeins
during our travels that long. I wanted it to be the first project
from the beach, and so it is.
I thought there could be an added fun factor of learning new
things about the places as I knit them. Please join in. I've
asked Karl to get us started for he knows about Antarctica.
As I knit it, the actual temperatures in Antarctica ranged
from -88F/-67C
to 40F/5C
