I live and work in Salt Lake City and am fascinated by Utah, the Great Basin and Great Salt Lake. I am attempting to learn more about my landscape and to knit that inspiration. Through this process I am finding meaning in landscape, a type of knitting *terroir*, that brings my home, my place, into the forefront of my life. And because of that, I have come to hone my thinking about environmentalism, conservation, and preservation.Virginia Catherallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10401694764861162157noreply@blogger.comBlogger330125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1557108415401196276.post-51229160699369963572024-01-15T09:03:00.000-08:002024-01-15T09:03:31.844-08:00Calliope Hummingbird<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPSCaSYA8tu5iT8gsanpgMXHB0IoLkdq_clJaX8FdFhyphenhyphenSsQJ2sLXQ5KjTf6CKljOlOZzaBQ-A0GvxCo4hMeofzOrmnFw1vR_JrmvBEJqutwFMlFNHVoH93HH-7sNiilJ_rFB7iI1Fc-qIKhH2FFUUdTCUjm8IR-naYW58cmlPZ3Oyn6yBFovyO0I1FJvW7/s4000/Calliope%20Hummingbird%20four.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="4000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPSCaSYA8tu5iT8gsanpgMXHB0IoLkdq_clJaX8FdFhyphenhyphenSsQJ2sLXQ5KjTf6CKljOlOZzaBQ-A0GvxCo4hMeofzOrmnFw1vR_JrmvBEJqutwFMlFNHVoH93HH-7sNiilJ_rFB7iI1Fc-qIKhH2FFUUdTCUjm8IR-naYW58cmlPZ3Oyn6yBFovyO0I1FJvW7/w640-h640/Calliope%20Hummingbird%20four.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: arial;">When I was in Glacier National Park last summer for my residency, I was lucky enough to spot a Calliope Hummingbird off the porch of my cabin on Lake McDonald.

I have a few more I would like to get done before the two presentations I have in February and March. I will be talking about my residency to the Salt Lake Knitting Guild and the Utah Surface Design Group. I am excited to share my work but a little stressed to get as many projects done as possible. The truth is that I had so much inspiration from this summer that I will be knitting Glacier works for a few years. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2OB_1e7JSPbKwysAm5e7yEk4ulTM4VAjvTtWpCJR9f_PnnmMypcVa3rMeEo_HEhIkQQqEzJmgfYduqwnakcy5dO1L-0c2OyeO3-Licm1CY_8NserT-R7hdgsK3rXVlHJBMerNfiAdhs3hQk6GQL42R4Q8kehHPLIhjK9wA2P0Dqa-YqqZDyhgw_SiYxBc/s4000/Avalanche%20Chute%20four.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="4000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2OB_1e7JSPbKwysAm5e7yEk4ulTM4VAjvTtWpCJR9f_PnnmMypcVa3rMeEo_HEhIkQQqEzJmgfYduqwnakcy5dO1L-0c2OyeO3-Licm1CY_8NserT-R7hdgsK3rXVlHJBMerNfiAdhs3hQk6GQL42R4Q8kehHPLIhjK9wA2P0Dqa-YqqZDyhgw_SiYxBc/w640-h640/Avalanche%20Chute%20four.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p><span style="font-family: arial;">This is Avalanche Chute, a fun modular scarf. Info from the pattern: Avalanches send tons of snow ripping down steep mountainsides. They follow the jagged avalanche-carved valleys made over millenia. These chutes are stripped bare of vegetation allowing new tender shoots to come up every year, feeding the diverse wildlife in Glacier National Park.

Info from the pattern: The beauty of Saint Mary Falls cannot be overstated. With its fast current and roiling turquoise waters, it is a must see at Glacier National Park. The blue-green color is created when fine glacial material known as rock flour floods into the lakes and river during snowmelt. Rock flour is very light, and stays suspended in the water. When the light hits the surface the rock flour distorts the wavelengths of light, reflecting back more of the green and blue end of the spectrum.

Its bright purple flowers thrive in open meadows, roadsides and forest edges. Fireweed’s name comes from its ability to grow rapidly in areas affected by fire. With seeds that spread rapidly by wind, Fireweed can dominate a meadow, bathing the land with vibrant color. I hope this stole captures the feeling of being surrounded by these blossoms. I plan to have the pattern available in the coming month.

As a member of the lily family and not actually a grass, beargrass is also known as soap grass, quip-quip, and Indian basket grass and is a favorite of the bears in the park who use it to line their dens (but don’t eat it). Remember that picking flowers in Glacier National Park is prohibited!

(I finished it right after I got home but am just now getting it photographed). <p></p><span id="docs-internal-guid-7482ab0e-7fff-7ae8-e363-d74c7dd02bd8"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I mentioned before that I wanted to savor all the time spent at the Park in June 2023. This meant consciously looking, observing and being present for what I was seeing and doing. The result is a unique work of wearable art that has meaning to me. The other pictures show a few close-ups and a better view of the legend to read the scarf; which is read from right to left (the way knitting is worked), with my first day being the bottom ridge and my last day the top ridge. If you look closely you can see the little yellow bit in the middle of the night where I woke to a mouse being snapped in a trap and I had to deal with it at 2:30 in the morning. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">But you can also see a lot of wildlife that I saw and various activities I did during the month. The cool thing about the scarf is the overall patterns that emerge. I really tried to have good sleep hygiene and you can tell with the big block of blue on the right side. And that I usually ended my days with a lot of knitting and a bit of reading. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;

The veins allow lacewings to fly forwards, backwards, and side to side. This dexterity makes them efficient hunters of pesky insects like mosquitoes and gnats. These delecate small hunters can be found all over Glacier National Park in the summer months, making outdoor life a little more comfortable.

The soaring green peaks at the height of summer are one of the most photographed vistas in Glacier National Park, with Mt. Cannon taking center stage. Be sure to wrap up because even in summer, mountain viewing in this part of the world can be chilly.

I won’t be there because I will be in Glacier National Park in the middle of my Artist-in-Residency. But all the artists in the exhibition are pretty amazing and unique.

You can see my work there (which won an Award of Merit!). It’s a wearable Cyanometer called “Salt Lake City Cyanometer”. With it, not only can you determine the color of the blue sky, but the color and intensity of the inversion as well. Very handy during the winter months of smog in the valley. It is a variation on my previous artwork in the Utah State collection called Great Basin Cyanometer. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><p></p><span id="docs-internal-guid-1de62dfc-7fff-f6f7-a0c9-a10b4c153082"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBn5N-RPrB-Ivn5Yji1CDN98y4l0Q5z1ZRsR0cgCfodQawxMrpScJQMQCrYLfbQipBS6xBudEtqoNqx54PoaJF3QW3v4JJzyDAzd8qNWYpcHjubUhPImrlpGC7prajgH0c5e12EGr7u7BmkTntvbUsSy1LmT_9Lh8O4xmrATr6kBJj1NiyGY9fgomewQ/s4000/SLC%20Cyanometer%20four.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="4000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBn5N-RPrB-Ivn5Yji1CDN98y4l0Q5z1ZRsR0cgCfodQawxMrpScJQMQCrYLfbQipBS6xBudEtqoNqx54PoaJF3QW3v4JJzyDAzd8qNWYpcHjubUhPImrlpGC7prajgH0c5e12EGr7u7BmkTntvbUsSy1LmT_9Lh8O4xmrATr6kBJj1NiyGY9fgomewQ/w640-h640/SLC%20Cyanometer%20four.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /></span><p></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">#lakesaltknit #springsalon #knitting</span></p><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div>Virginia Catherallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10401694764861162157noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1557108415401196276.post-17133028276109329252023-01-20T11:45:00.001-08:002023-01-20T11:45:53.009-08:00My Year of Sweaters<p><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Here is a recap of my year of sweaters using my personalized croquis from <i>My Body Model</i>.

This is the perfect fall sweater.<p></p><span id="docs-internal-guid-6db0db42-7fff-f633-0327-ea8287076b80"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The pattern is Deren Tee by Jacqueline Cieslak and knit in Tussock and Sweetgrass by Purl Soho.</span></p><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwHBj_ib3HIdnTofyuWr6Xw-9G4EWIjUE4q9jsIZO-4DG1TeNMVgIjZlKOWpoeWCCLcx7WNS-hKu-OZ0KXp5Acu2K-edaHJMxSTK2cVYXOu3DAOfPFVIXaV835tRXW3tcVYzAWzVzrEBi_TFXJn5fBHMkU-nCxNa6eUUzBWvJLdpEanVqv-NAJo4lRqw/s688/gin%20close%20up.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="688" data-original-width="688" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwHBj_ib3HIdnTofyuWr6Xw-9G4EWIjUE4q9jsIZO-4DG1TeNMVgIjZlKOWpoeWCCLcx7WNS-hKu-OZ0KXp5Acu2K-edaHJMxSTK2cVYXOu3DAOfPFVIXaV835tRXW3tcVYzAWzVzrEBi_TFXJn5fBHMkU-nCxNa6eUUzBWvJLdpEanVqv-NAJo4lRqw/w640-h640/gin%20close%20up.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKxN62nBtoZ-63etEQ0pRbj8h8ZeO048pk9LkSkI_O5MX3XKfWnptU7PWt8-oyFtaEvHIJLtxBmCMgnKqPS4cbdBTTUXY6iUyJwZsyDJacubWIQT-mwGrHqHYzQrepNNQ_cAzgwedTsAozxc7pOIkyNX7zf4lFY-Kd7IcPWoxc30F6zhrr1u8dtVVxyA/s4032/gin%20holding%20plant.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKxN62nBtoZ-63etEQ0pRbj8h8ZeO048pk9LkSkI_O5MX3XKfWnptU7PWt8-oyFtaEvHIJLtxBmCMgnKqPS4cbdBTTUXY6iUyJwZsyDJacubWIQT-mwGrHqHYzQrepNNQ_cAzgwedTsAozxc7pOIkyNX7zf4lFY-Kd7IcPWoxc30F6zhrr1u8dtVVxyA/w480-h640/gin%20holding%20plant.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div>Virginia Catherallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10401694764861162157noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1557108415401196276.post-45541704243156326962022-09-01T19:39:00.007-07:002022-09-01T19:39:55.028-07:00August Conversion<p><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW2TbDJiw3e_3CFvGKcjzQlojaGZf-URZnKW9A_MzS151qGiJlIDyxyZcRu7obrx0u0fn4OiidznXxMaA3xG897VVDAE_tb0FJvZmMZOsCN0KWBxvXanBs_XE12RFaisuox_VPauDx762IJ16p4Y2OtkRzKWP-OUEmfOq0HdKIKaeITUZfalTtZxEC7Q/s2401/gin%20off%20center.heic" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="2401" data-original-width="2401" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW2TbDJiw3e_3CFvGKcjzQlojaGZf-URZnKW9A_MzS151qGiJlIDyxyZcRu7obrx0u0fn4OiidznXxMaA3xG897VVDAE_tb0FJvZmMZOsCN0KWBxvXanBs_XE12RFaisuox_VPauDx762IJ16p4Y2OtkRzKWP-OUEmfOq0HdKIKaeITUZfalTtZxEC7Q/w640-h640/gin%20off%20center.heic" width="640" /></a></div><br />My August sweater is really more of a shrug, but it works for keeping my arms warm on the cool nights of early autumn.
