What I Did On My Vacation

I sure didn't knit as much as I would have expected, though I did progress some on the Ringel sock as you can see:

I'm just a couple of rows away from starting the toe.

Knitting time was limited because either the scenery was interesting and I was looking out the window, or the scenery was boring and I was sleeping.

Here's one of the interesting parts:

This is along the Williams Ranch 4-Wheel Drive Trail at Guadalupe National Park in west Texas. The trail coincides throughout much of its length with the Butterfield Overland Trail, a precursor of the Pony Express Routes. The photo does not do justice to the amazing variety of cacti in this the northernmost portion of the Chihuahuan Desert. I feel so lucky to live in the west. Trees, who needs 'em? We love our wide open spaces out here!!

Knitting will take a back seat again this weekend - this time so I can do our taxes. In the meantime, I'm looking seriously at the Knitty Kitchensink Bag (and I've already got the yarn for it in my stash!)

Love the colors in your socks. Your vacation shot is cool, too. Who would have thought such pretty places (if you get into desert) existed in Texas? Thanks for the education.
