Knitting and Geocaching

 We love to Geocache when we travel, but we haven't done a lot of travelling lately. This weekend was warm, and sunny and geocaching seemed like a good idea. In case you don't know, geocaching is a reason for a walk in the woods, as you try to find "caches" or small hidden containers, using a GPS.

In 2008, I taught geocaching at an inhouse day camp of a local tech company. For the camp, I hide a container on the nearby hiking trails. That container is still there (amazingly), but was in need of some TLC so we took our favourite Gr. 4 student off to the woods to find it.

As you can see, we weren't the only ones enjoying the nice weather. Nothing could be more iconic that a pair of Canada Geese standing next to a maple tree!




The mornings have been wooly sock weather, so more socks need to be made. I am working on a pair of socks in Christmas stripes.


My silly bird picture of the first sock, the sock is now finished. The second is well on the way.

I received some nail stickers, and I put a couple on to see if that would inspire me to get back to sewing.



They may be helping. I cut out the pieces for a new bag, today. If things go well, it will be done by the end of the week.

  1. Yes, it's a bird minus the legs. Love those yarn colours. Imagine that container still there, maybe meant for a lifetime of discovery.

  2. Definitely a bird. A friend also does Geocache, she has done so in her worldly travels, and found caches in all manner of spots.
