Checking in

Well since summer began I haven't had a lot to say, been reflecting a lot.  I have been finishing up a few WIP's with a goal in mind to start Mary Triplett's Summer Fling Wrap/Shawl.  To accomplish that goal I finished the Ishbel shawl that I cast on in April when I was in Las Vegas.  I finished the Pram #2 blanket.  So last night I cast on for the shawl...I am enjoying myself. The weather has been crazy the last few days so that I haven't been able to take any descent pictures. My peddler's shawl is being blocked by a friend at the LYS and I should have it back this weekend. Hopefully I will get pictures taken of these projects.

I have changed my work hours for the summer working longer days on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Normal hours on Thursday and only a half hour on Fridays. It is taking me a little while to get used to the new schedule. But I think this Friday spent at my LYS just knitting will help. 

No travel plans for the summer yet that I am aware which is okay. Sometimes it is nice just not to rush around. My SIL and family are moving out of state this summer so it looks like we will be traveling to see them sometime this fall/winter/spring.  I must get back to my knitting before heading to work.  It is a little addictive right now.

Wednesday WIP's and FO's

Finished finally! Started in February after many other pairs of socks, only got a little attention until last wednesday.

Grey Dawn shawl still needs to be blocked.


Aspen Grove Shawl that was completed June 2008 still needs to be blocked.


The book I am starting today.

My goal for this week: block both shawls, work on the Wedding Reflections Shawl. It got no time this week do to the sock focus and my knitting area was in upheaval due to a new printer being installed. I knit right by our computer area when working with charts as the light is better.
