Things have been very quiet since our trip to the Frio River a few weeks ago, and I'm absolutely loving it. It has been so nice to just spend the weekends at home catching up on our Netflix and replenishing my supply of clean clothes. I still haven't been knitting too much, though, and tomorrow will be the one month mark for the pair (well, so far, just one) of socks I'm working on. They don't look much different than last week:
I finished the lacy shawl/wrap that I worked on primarily over July 4th weekend and the following weekend camping, but that comes easy when you're stuck in a car for a total of twenty hours. I still need to get some wires so I can block it out and make it look really lacy, and some buttons to put on one of the ends (so you can button it in different ways...I'll demonstrate when I finish), but right now it's sitting in a pile on my desk. This is how it looked last weekend when I finally bound off the stitches and took a quick picture to put on Ravelry:
I'm still making progress on the wedding afghan for Sara and Brandon, but I don't think I'll have it done for Sara's shower next Sunday. I'm just a little over halfway finished, but I'm not putting up any pictures of it until I give it to them.
Speaking of Sara's bridal shower, I am co-hosting it with her future mother-in-law next Sunday, and I'm pretty excited about it. Next weekend will be almost completely devoted to Sara's wedding since we are designing, printing, and addressing her invitations next Saturday. I don't get much girl time with my two best friends, so I am really looking forward to this even though I suspect it will be hectic.
Now it's off to the grocery store and then to my knitting group. With next weekend's plans in mind, I'm guessing I should have more exciting things to talk about next Sunday.
Hiya! I stumbled on in here from the CLF group on Ravelry!
