That first photo was taken on a rocky promontory a That first photo was taken on a rocky promontory at 7200 ft (2194 m). Many thanks to @instasoozi for making sure I had good posture! My dad also wants you all to know that this photo should be called “Needles in front of the Needles.” And yes, when I pulled my knitting out of my pack, reactions ranged from amused to confused, but I had to add some good shots to my “knitting in cool spots while on vacation” collection.

I’m a 9” circular fan, myself, and Magic Loop is not my jam, so I was really grateful to have input from experienced Magic Loopers on this one. Aspect Ratio is out on July 11. Comment “newsletter” and I’ll send you a link to sign up so you don’t miss the announcement!
