Back (again)

Once again, too long between posting. Between all the postings that I do for the shop (Blog, Website, Facebook, Ravelry and Twitter), I seem to stall out when it comes to my personal blog.


Anyway - here we are at almost the end of July. It's been a hot and steamy month (which I don't like). As usual, I've been knitting quite a bit and we just finished the Tour de Fleece. I ended up with a sweaters' worth of a heavy worsted weight yarn in a marled blue colorway.



Lots of lace and shawl knitting has been going on this summer including Rock Island by Jared Flood.



I did accomplish knitting up a Swirl Jacket - and absolutely love it. I will definitely make at least one more of these. Such easy knitting, alot of knitting but easy.



Our pond is thriving, although we lost some fish this year to the Great Blue Heron. Here's a picture of him sitting on our neighbor's rooftop waiting for me to go inside so he can have breakfast. He was one determined bird. I think we lost at least 4 fish to him this year.



I also ended up adding on to my tattoo that I got last year. LOVE it, but I can safely say that I am done! :)



Wilson is on a waiting mode regarding a new job. I hope he gets the final word soon. I know it would make him much happier.


Anyway, that's a brief recap of things so far. Hope to get back to posting more here.
