as envisioned

bouncing off the walls. pressing is going to square it,

after numerous trials and errors the light bulb went voila ! i realized that in order to get the sequence right i could follow the instructions for double bed jacquard bcse the machine doesn't really care if it's jacquard, single bed or whatever. for dbj you need to start on the right and that gives an extra row which synchs  colors, rows and color changes which  change at left.

so it's the original image with 4 rows of color 2 not the previous 6 rows which  resulted in a much too thick separation between squares. compare top and bottom photos and you'll see what i mean.

 now i am  testing the ways to do slip   and hold so that i can knit areas of

solid color.

i chickened out here and knitted three separate panels.

it never ceases to fascinate me how two pieces knitted using the same stitch and with the same row count can be different.the middle one is longer bcse it's stockinette, but the slip ones?

go figure.  ¯\ ( ツ) /¯

the murmuring hemlocks and the pines

last week we did a trekk to the waterfalls  30kms from the city. you can even reach by bus to the bottom

,but we took the train to a nearby town and started from there.

beautiful countryside and woods giving us the chance of a good share of shinrin yoku

the trail is very good until you reach the path that goes to the waterfalls.

that one was made by human feet and the

 rest of it suffice to say there were moments

of almost rock climbing. the booklet with      

the guide was  totally misleading giving it a not difficult score.

fortunately we could ride the bus back into town.

anyhow it was a real adventure.our knees can attest to that nd we are in good shape.

we're planning the bear trail next week.it is gorgeous and highly civilized
