Objects at rest tend to stay at rest. Last week I eagerly loaded some photos onto Photobucket in order to post them on this blog. Then in tried to go to Blogger Dashboard. But BD would not open, and would not open, and would not open..for several hours, so I gave up. This is where the inertia comes in. So I didn't try again for nearly a week. But obviously, I have moved beyond inertia, so here goes.
We just made a trip to the West Coast. Included in that trip was climbing a mountain, Mt. Ellinore in the Olympic National Forest (6000 ft.!) and an 11 mile hike to the end of the Dungeness Spit and back. We were with my brother-in-law, a dedicated outdoorsman. How I wish I had carried my knitting to the top of the mountain. That would have been a great photo. But I didn't.
After climbing the mountain, I wasn't sure that I could complete the 11 miles to the lighthouse at the end of the Dungeness Spit, so I did take my knitting in case I had to sit down and wait for the other hikers to go on without me. And I did make it to the lighthouse. Here is the proof.
What I was knitting was a baby sweater from Reggia sock yarn.
After the time in Washington, we went to San Luis Obispo, CA. And had more adventures (and were wined and dined in style by another brother-in-law, a dedicated gourmand.
With all the time spent in airports and airplanes and driving around, I was able to finish all the pieces. Once I got home, I found a surprise gift from my DD, Amylovie - a beautiful blocking board. I put it right to use. I am in the process of finishing this little sweater and will post the final outcome later.

Too cute! I have been thinking of trying a baby sweater in sock yarn, I even have the pattern bought!
Sounds like you got a good workout on your trip! At least you got rewarded by some good food and knitting too!
