Mountains and lakes, oh my!

Last week I was lucky enough to have a whittling lesson with Jimbo www.jimbosfrontporch.com
What a gift! I've already spent many a happy hour on the shores of Lake Tahoe, sun on my face, snow on the mountains around me, knife in my hand, creating my own hooks. This one is a piece of lake driftwood and termites have carved it's surface in patterns reminiscent of the wood carving on Vikingsholm in Emerald Bay (google it!) just across the lake from where I carved this.
There's talk of jimbo giving official crochet hook whittling classes. As soon as he does, I urge you to sign up pronto. For his company as much as his teaching. You'll not regret it.

Ah you learned well! Very nice work on what looks like a stick with petroglyphs, or maybe a termite map?
I'm missing you guys!! Wish we could have spent more time together.

Aww, missing you guys, too. Mucho.

I already have a whole trunk full of sticks and I'd love to see what you'd do with them. The termites have already decorated many of them, but they could do with better treatment than my amateurish hacking!

Here's to hanging out for longer next time.
Off up to the giant redwoods today. Toot toot!
