The August

I shouldn’t be writing right now, I should be hooking. My Gossamer Scarf is finally looking like it might actually be a scarf. All these weeks (months?) I’ve been working on it and I finally did the math to find out how much I have left to do, and how long it should take me. Reality hit that I could be working on this thing for months more, and I decided to stop being such a milk toast about crochet and really work to get it done. But one has to take a break every once in awhile, right? So, here’s a really crappy pic of the scarf:

This has been a tough time, we’re busy with preparations for company. Our little guy is turning two, and all but one of the grandparents are going to be visiting (staying with us in our very modest apartment, YIKES!). No, it’ll be fine. But on top of that, Kenneth has had a hiccup in his working life, and it hasn’t been a pleasant one. So, we’re dealing with that, too. I’ll just say we’ve been emotionally busy. Hang in there honey.

Well, that’s about it. I was just feeling guilty for not posting.

Now that my shopping bag is finished, I was itching to figure out what to keep as my knitting WIP. Well, it was going to be a hat for my little guy, but I finished that in one day. I’ve done several crochet hats, but this was my first one to knit, and it was super easy. Here is the hat, and hooray, he likes it!

It’s from this pattern by Judy Gibson.

Anyway, since that’s done, I need a more involving project. I should just work on the fuzzy blue stripe rug that I’ve had going for… months? But I’ve lost my steam on that project. So, I decided to finally order sock yarn and try my hand at a pair of socks. I went back to Knitpicks for my yarn, so sometime in the next week or so it will be time to crack open my sock makin’ book.
