You don't have to wait for fall -- just crank up the A/C and wear em now! That's what I was doing last summer when I knitted a pair of socks each month for the whole year!

@Kelly: traditionally houses in the NW don't have air conditioning because it never gets that hot for that long here in the summer.
@Lynn: So excited for Banks, but equally excited for the Hydro races tomorrow...
@Julie: I have been seeing this yarn around ravelry and just fell in love with it however it corresponded with the time I fell out of love with sock knitting...the fact that I knit short socks makes it easier...

My kiddoes are going to Sun Lakes the week after labor Day with a repeat group. My son misses Banks but there are no accomidations that fit all the aspects of the group. Boats tents cabins pool golf and dogs. I was thinking of Banks last week and how much we miss it.
That sock yarn is marvelous, love love the way they turned out.

I guess they have had these reservations for years where they are going, I think there is soething like 30-50 people.
Me I still like Banks best. if we ever decide to go again i will contact you to see who has cabins that allow dogs. Got to have our "special babies' along with our regular ones.

Life in the Time of Covid

I have officially been working from home. Staying home.  Self-Isolating.  Safe Distancing.  For three four months.  My last day at my office was March 12.  If I look back and track how this transition has gone it's roller coaster.  But if you really want an accurate accounting of how my time has been spent These pictures sum it all up Thank you Anna Hrochavec for your amazing inspiring patterns Happy End of June. May the odds be ever in our favor for July. Naked Gnome, Tiny Island, Unicorn tiny cat octopus. one of my favorites fried eggs. Seriously how can you not be in love with these guys Ragnar by special request of my husband who is watching Vikings Tiny Parrot. Need to make another and send it to my nephew Ragnar likes the squirrel and dino Ragnar thinks this tiny cat is an attach tiger but it's just a cat. Sumo still waiting for his opponent Parrot meet Dragon *Drago ...

Knitter Down...I Repeat, We Have a Knitter Down...

It's probably not that dramatic, well maybe it is, who can say for sure....but I can say this, right now from my elbow to my wrist is some gnarly pain that was flared last night after knitting 6 rows of the Shawl...SIX ROWS and then WHAMMO! so much pain. This isn't the first day I've had this, I've actually been ignoring for a few days ...okay, I've been ignoring it for a couple weeks but this is the worst it's been...So, I've made inquiries as to which doctor to see and am waiting to hear back to make an appointment...while I wait ice packs, and copious amounts of pain meds (don't worry by copius I really mean, recommended daily dose) are being taken with the shedding of a few tears while I fondle my knitting... stay tuned...this can't possibly last forever xoxoxo c. p.s. Fati...don't worry I have a plan if this whole wrist issues blows out of control...
