I did some knitting in Costa Rica. I planned for two projects, one easy and one difficult.
On the left, La Digitessa knit using Wollmeise yarn using the La Digitessa colorway. On the right, my own pattern using the Crown Mountain Farm Sock Hop yarn. I wanted something that was mindless but still interesting, and something that was impossible to mess up the pattern. I settled on randomly inserting 8 purl stitches across 20 stitches on the top of the foot. Impossible to mess up because there was no pattern, and it was kind of fun.
When we weren't relaxing, David and I also did a lot of activities offered by the resort. We hiked a lot, soaked in tide pools, went horseback riding, went kayaking, waterfall rappeled, went bird watching, zip lining, and stood under some amazing waterfalls.
Whew!
Lovely socks! The trip looks like loads of fun.

wow there sure was lots to keep you busy. The rappelling looks like loads of fun. Where there certain animals you needed to avoid? Like that poison dart frog??

Wow, you are adventurous. No, I don't mean La Digitessa; I meant all that other stuff. Looks like you had a great time.
