You know, I always feel a bit weird posting when I don’t have photos for you (or when I *do* have photos, just not the connector wire thingy to upload them). I did finish a few things in an attempt to wrap projects up before the Summer of Socks so I hope to post photos soon…eh, how boring….excuses on a blog!
Aside from some knitting clean-up, I’ve been trying to live up to my vow that I would spend more time at the Lake this summer. I live mere blocks from Lake Champlain and I hardly ever go there to walk along the shore, to sleep on the beaches, take the ferry to NY, or go swimming – this is NONSENSE. Sunday afternoon I found myself packing up the Sunday NY Times, water, knitting, and a friend to plant ourselves at the edge of the water. I can’t say that my knitting enjoyed the sand, but I can tell you that I am going to attempt to go swimming twice a week in the lake when possible (lately we’ve had thunderstorms so forget it). It’s a good vow to uphold, you know?
Also, has anyone else noticed that the second you commit to spending your summer knitting socks, all you want to do is knit hats and sweaters? Just wondering….
A small update on The Girls…the humans are doing ok post putting-down, although I seem to forget how long that takes. Thank you so much for your sweet and thoughtful comments – you people rock.
Spending a day at the lake sounds great! My kids are such wusses. We go outside and within 20 minutes, they’re begging to go back in out of the heat. LOL I guess I shouldn’t complain, because that means I get to come back inside, too.
Glad to hear you’re doing better since The Girls passed. ((hugs))
