Moving books and furniture up four flights of stairs is kind of like climbing the cables at Half Dome--over and over, again and again (not really, but lots of work nonetheless).
The Cables at Half Dome, Yosemite National Park.
Me knitting the Puffed-Sleeve Feminine Cardigan (from Fitted Knits) atop Half Dome on the "Diving Board". Mind you, that edge that I am standing on drops straight down almost a mile to the valley floor!

holy crap holly. you are a brave girl. I would not be knitting there. I would be crawling to the edge crying. I have a small (ha) fear of heights.

Very similar activities! But the view is better in one.
Bella is so cute! Have fun moving!

Ah, moving into a multi story walk-up. The memories it brings back. We moved ourselves in and hired professionals (years later) to move us out. May you not have to move again for a couple of years at least!

Oh, holy cow! Those cables look scary. I don't consider myself as being afraid of heights--or afraid of much else, really, but this month I've seen two hikes that might make me think twice. That is definitely extreme knitting! :)

That looks awesome!! Wow what a hike!

What an amazing hike! I think the view is prettier and the climbing a lot more fun with knitting than with boxes up the stairs! Your pictures definitely portray what it feels like though! Hope you settle in quickly and well. :)

I am weak in the knees looking at that pic of you on the Diving Board! and you had enough guts to knit there too! beautiful scenery but a bit too high for me (I'm a chicken I know!)

Found you through Cass's blog contest.
You are one brave woman standing that close to the edge. There is no way that you would get me that close. :) Beautiful pictures.

Holly you're amazing!!! I'm (totally) not a bit (very) jealous! Can my girls and I come stay for a couple of weeks?

Holy cow -- you are one dedicated knitter! What beautiful pictures! I've never been to Half Dome, but have always wanted to see it (thanks to a love for Ansel Adams photography).
Looks like a great time!
