“Nice Toes” ~
By Sarah | November 15, 2007
We went to the Grand Canyon today – what a picture perfect day. Decided to take a hike down Bright Angel Trail…. but, wouldn’t you know it, I forgot my shoes.
Started the hike looking like this……
encountered some cowboys and pack mules (they were so cute – the mules, that is). Apparently my flip flop clad feet stuck out like a sore thumb on the trail, cause even the cowboy’s noticed and commented – “Nice toes” – I swear I saw him shake his head at me.
Ended the hike looking like this. But it was so worth it…..
Scenes from the trail:
Yes, that is my knitting project bag attached to the camera bag – never know when you might have an extra minute or two to work on the project….
Spindelicious Handspun, “A Little Night Music” - Basic Handwarmers (my own pattern, if you want to call it that) for Plucky girl.
Coming up next – Le’ Gretel.

Oh my gosh! How *awesome*! I love it.
) And what an awesome trip. I’ve always wanted to go to Arizona. Do you mind if I post the pics of the handwarmers on my blog?

Fantastic photos – well, they were until we got to the spider one! Glad to see that some knitting spirit survives in the Grand Canyon!

You definitely are a Knitter, bringing a project down into the Grand Canyon. Looks like a fabulous trip! Great handwarmers too.

Nice cowl.
Is that the one Macoco made? Love.
Looks like you guys are having a really good time. Did I ever tell you that Bri fell off one of those horses on that trail when he was younger and almost went over the side! He’ll never get on a horse again!
Love the wristwarmers.

Your vacation looks like it was amazing. I really want to visit the grand canyon – and actually was looking into a trip there yesterday. Every web site I looked at that had trips down into the canyon on a mule boasted that they only had surefooted mules. Guess those clumsy, easily distracted mules are out of a job!
