I flew out of Albany to Boston in a tiny Cessna. It held ten people, one of whom was the pilot. I swear I have been in vans that are larger! From Boston it was a non-stop to CA.

Driving up from San Jose to their house was gorgeous. Here is a look at the San Luis Reservoir which I drove past.

Lest you think the 52 Project has fallen by the wayside, let me assure you it has not. I made a hat for my son, while in CA, but did not take a photo. I also completed my first sock.
Okay, maybe this only half counts, since it is not a pair, so there is still some yarn in the stash, but it took me over a year to do. I worked on it last Christmas while traveling, then put it down after we came home and just picked it up out of the unfinished projects bin. It is my very first sock. This is my second attempt - I tried socks once before, and spent more time pulling out stitches and getting used to double pointed needles than I did actually completing the sock. It is currently languishing in the unfinished pile. I have pretty much been a self-taught knitter. I learned the very basics from my mom when I was little, but the rest I have parsed out from books and articles. So this sock, knitted in Patons Stretch Sock ( a blend of cotton, wool, acrylic and nylon) is an accomplishment. (And it actually fits me!) The REAL accomplishment, however, will be getting both done and wearing them!
This week I also began knitting some Christmas presents which I cannot speak about.
