Pattern for the Nisse Hat will be here soon - life has been a series of busy days over the past few weeks!
Spent a weekend camping with my younger daughter's Brownie troop, followed by another week at the lake cabin.
Had out of town family visiting for a week - two nephews and a niece stayed at grandma's house nearby, but we spent our days together at the Science Museum, Adventure Peak, the Zoo, as well as watching the first three episodes of the Star Wars trilogy and just generally playing and having fun. Phew!
Jumped back into the fray of committee meetings and other church commitments this week - summer hiatus goes by too quickly!
There has been knitting, however. No pics yet, but I've just finished (my third) Heartbreakingly Cute Baby Kimono from Mason Dixon Knitting and also threw together a cabled hat design to teach my sister some new techniques. (Literally sketched it out on the back of a business card while driving to a reunion/picnic - cast on and knit the first couple of inches for her & then sent her off on her own to give it a go. We're reconvening this Wednesday to discuss decreases.....)
I keep casting on and unraveling the Elizabeth Zimmermann Baby Surprise Jacket. I think I finally just read the "golden tip" I've been hunting for that will help me lengthen the sleeves - I'm going to try once more before retiring this project permanently.
More substance, fewer excuses coming soon!
