I had a lot of knitting time today, which let me get two National Park afghan blocks done! (Ravelry link)
Happy Galentine’s Day!!
This block represents Glacier National Park, specifically the Going-to-the-Sun road which is a feature of the park. For more about this park, check out their website here.
And this one represents Mesa Verde National Park. The block depicts the cliff dwellings the park is famous for. I have a sort of connection to this park. When my parents first retired, they got an RV and spent quite a few years driving around, spending seasons working at different parks. They went back to Mesa Verde several times. They had great adventures there assisting the biology staff with various tasks and seeing the sights. Here is a link to Mesa Verde’s website.
Hope everyone had a great weekend either with the Superbowl or the Superb Owl or the Puppy Bowl or whatever you like!
Quite A Yarn 
I definitely want to see Mesa Verde, I don’t know too much about Montana and the parking for this park seems a nightmare so I’ll just appreciate it through your blanket square.

Cool. The going to the sun block is quite interesting. I’ve been to Mesa Verde, a long time ago.

I forgot about the Puppy Bowl. Do you know if Jimmy Fallon had his ‘Puppy Predictor segment?

LOL! I would imagine that’s going to happen. A bunch of excited puppies – there are going to be doodles.

These are great! I haven’t been to either of those parks, but I’d especially love to see the cliff dwellings someday.

Yes! The photos I’ve seen are all beautiful. My parents raved about that park and the cliff dwellings in particular.

So cool. Hopefully we’ve gotten good enough at preservation that it will be around for many more generations to see!

Sorry if this is a duplicate comment but I think the National Parks afghan will be awesome. I went and checked out the Ravelry link and many of the blocks are too advanced for me (one even has like cables – yikes!) but it is a wonderful concept!

Maybe you could do a quilt with park blocks!

Actually I had a panel of National Park images that I am going to make into a quilt someday – it is a pre-printed panel that I can cut apart and make each park its only block 🙂
