foxes and glittens

i went to the Denver Art Museum today with one of my coworkers. of course i left my camera at home. grrr! but i really liked a lot of the exhibits. i don't think i've been to an art museum since highschool. i'm not very good at seeing beyond the exterior though, into what the pieces mean and such. i kind of wish i'd taken art appreciation in school. this walk-through exhibit was pretty cool. you could hardly see the wires suspending the foxes in the air.
later i went grocery shopping, so i wouldn't have to eat instant oatmeal again if i was hungry in the middle of the night. and then i came home and relaxed. and finished knitting my first pair of glittens! it was the hardest thing i've knit so far. i'm rather proud. oh, the cleverness of me. i guess this is my form of art. :-P

  1. AHH! They're so cute! And you're so cute even when you can't see your head! :) Aw, I love you, Ruth! The glittens looks gggreeat! They will keep your hands nice and toasty. I wish I could do the same kind of art you could do! It's amazing.

    The fox exhibit looks neat. I want to go to an art museum...

    I like your shirt, by the way.

  6. I tried knitting, but couldn't get it right. All I could make were pot holders. What kind of yarn did you use?
