Summertime!

I love the fact that during the summer I get a chance to spend more time with my kids and travel a lot but crimeny....I haven't been home for an entire week at a time since school got out! Don't get me wrong, I enjoy traveling to visit my family and friends but I need to clean my house! Let's not forget KNITTING!  In just two short weeks all of the little munchkins will be going back to school and I can get some KNITTING done!

Of course the fact that summer in Arkansas means 100+ degrees for most of it and little rain, doesn't make one want to drag out the wool to work on a felting project or heavy sweater. I didn't think however that it would keep me from knitting socks too! I did injure my elbow on our first vacation of the summer which makes it difficult, I can only knit for about an hour and then I have to be done! I did cast on for Rogue last night though. I even knitted all of my swatches too! Aren't you proud of me!  I figure if I am going to finish by the end of winter I should start now!  I love the pattern and I spent yesterday practicing my cable needle freedom techniques so I can try to do this with a minimum of stress. I have to say, I bought the book to see how they did it and I totally had an aha moment, it is so simple! Why couldn't I have figured that out on my own????

Alright, I don't have any pictures to upload, so... I think I am done for now. Just think, two weeks from tomorrow I won't have any kids home during the day for an entire 9 months!  It makes me giddy just thinking about it! I need to run and do some school shopping so...until next time!
