Wow – had a moment of pause when putting the date in. Where did June go??? July 1, a Wednesday, which means its time for some Work In Progress.
I had a fair amount of knitting time this week. Life is settling into a pleasant routine. Divorce “stuff” continues, in a highly amusing sort of way at this point. Definitely feeling less stressed than I have been in a while. My evenings have a quietness about them – dinner, dishes, a little laundry or housekeeping and then I park it to watch some TV and knit for a bit. I am reminded once again that I love living alone. Its all good.
We continue to have rainy, humid days, though cooler than normal, which means that Allegoro and a sock are the perfect projects. I managed to add a good inch to Allegoro this week, mainly on my flights.
I also started a pair of Luxor socks
The yarn is Silkie Socks that Rock in Titania. The pattern is simple and quite addictive. This is the perfect little project right now.
I’d like to go back to working on Blankie, but the weather is definitely keeping me from it. Who wants to knit something heavy when its so sticky? Not me.
My goal for the week is to get to the heel on the Luxor sock and to add at least an inch to Allegoro. We’ll see how much knitting time the long weekend brings. I have very little planned and a to do list as long as my arm. My studio is now only 3/4 of the way trashed – my attempt at cleaning last night was thwarted by the weather – it was too hot in there to be productive. There’s cleaning to do, yarn that I would love to dye, a wholesale order to put together and the reality that I committed to babysitting a certain little girl this weekend (my first overnight – eek!). And there’s this:
That would be the new “portable photo studio” set up that I just got from thinkgeek.com (box bag included for scale, kit included the light box, lights and a mini tripod, random background junk was not included – that’s all mine). Its fabulous – once I add a back drop and a tripod that holds my camera, I will finally have the real photo set up I have needed from day one. I really want to play with this and with my new camera. The weather is supposed to improve (not putting a lot of stock in that), so I hope to get outside with the camera too. As for the knitting, we’ll see. If nothing else, there will be great pictures of my lack of progress next week
Have a great Wednesday!
