I enjoyed reading about your trip - lovely pictures! You have me yearning for a trip to the West Coast :) Oh this is so true – the when and the where.

My knitting memory: a Jr. High Home Economics class slipper with pom-pom, in which the teacher told me it was horrible and messy - how I so remember that day! So, I did not knit the second one and received an F. You really have inspired my daughter (Gabi) and I to be more than "knitter posers"! We can knit a basic stitch. Also, your coastal photos remind me we to drive out there with our kids. We haven't seen the Washington ocean since we camped there, near the Hoh rainforest (almost 18 years ago!), just before I gave birth to our son. As Seattlites, we should be ashamed! Gabi would love to see Forks, too, as she has read all the Twilight books. Love your blog.

I listen to books on tape while I knit sometimes and tend to associate a sock with a particular story. Happens when I am painting walls also! So I am not a totally odd duck!

The memories knitted into some projects are what make them so, so special to wear for me. Beautiful post. The memories knitted into some projects are what make them so, so special to wear for me.

While I don't comment as much as I should (I don't know how you do it--you take so much time to offer support to so many in this community!), your knits and your blog really are a huge inspiration for me. Not just your choices in pattern, colors etc, and the skill you display with the execution. But because I can see the love and the heart and soul that goes into each and every knit. Truly inspirational. So glad you enjoyed our corner of the world (though I'm on the dry side!)...it's just beautiful and you captured it well in these posts through your words and photography. And so funny you took a picture of the Forks sign...I worked on a project with the local Native American tribe there for a few years and spent a couple weeks a year catching elk. It's nice to hear that the book (I haven't read them so had no idea the setting) revived some of the economy of that town. As with many of the logging-based communities out here, it needed it!

Who would even want to go to Forks?" I'm totally with you on the memory knitting - I also experience the same things with music and books. Love the yarn you've used on your sweater, just gorgeous!

And I forever think of that trip when I see the finished item. Knitting *is* like a time capsule! And Forks? Hee. I totally want to go there...mostly to see all the little things you mentioned. How even the coffee shop got on board with Bella themed muffins. Funny. I don’t travel much, but whenever I do, I bring knitting, of course.
