This week’s Yarn Along will be a little sparse until I can pick up a new mouse. Ours had decided to die today there also seems to be a few clouds floating around (please God, a real good soaking rain or thunderstorm -minus the hail) so we don’t have internet either. So here I am in Pembroke at the library posting a few things, just so you don’t think we’ve fallen off the face of the earth. Hopefully I can have the computer/internet up and running later today because I have so many exciting pictures to share from our weekend away.
I’m still working on the February Lady Sweater. I’ve got the body about half-finished, I need to get some measurements from Jacinda. It’s a good sign of a fabulous vacation that I didn’t get much knitting done and my book never left my suitcase 🙂
I did get the Welsh Country Socks finished before we left on Friday. I like the way they turned out. I may make myself a pair of knee socks like that.
And if I’m completely honest, as I try to be on this blog, I’m currently re-reading my FlyLady Sink Relfections. I really need to get the house under control before we start ‘school’ in September. I used to be great when we were first married. I fell off the FlyLady bandwagon when I was pregnant (I was huge and nauseated all the time) and I haven’t been able to get back on since. Hopefully this will be the kick-start I need.
I hope you get the rain you need without the hail and wind! We were visiting family a couple of weeks ago in Kansas and we had hail a few times, in one area of the county it was the size of softballs. Insane!
I love your two toned socks!!
Hi Corrabelle, I just realized you’re in Ontario. Are you near me??
Your sweater is really coming along. Love the socks. I know what you mean about the flylady and getting things under control before the new school year. I am dying to get my kitchen cupboard re-organized, but………………….! How is the heat treating you??
Oh my goodness, Marlyn, it is sooo hot up here. Hot and dry. Colin is starting to worry about our 3 acres of sweet corn. We can only water so much. The real corn is looking dry too,but still growing.
I loaned my sink reflections to someone and it never came home..it always makes me hope that I don’t forget to return borrowed books from other! Nice socks and I looked at that sweater, but sort of had another in mind and I can only handle one of those projects at a time! Hoping you had rain, as we did here, but it sure got hot and steamy after
e had a storm come through on Tuesday which filled my rain barrels half full. So it was a lot in about 1 1/2 hours. the garden has really jumped as well. But the ground has cracked. It is great haying weather but a few good thunderstorms would be greatly loved for the corn. The wheat has turned golden. Some of farmers here have already taken it off the land. Seems so early to me! I’ll keep you in my prayers. You people out that way have been missing the rain a few summers in a row now. Hard to believe we are only a few hours apart.
