Summer is here! How have you been spending your sunshiney days?
Progress has slowed a bit on the sweater, not because of the extreme heat, but because I have misplaced the pattern. Instead of looking for it, I have simply picked up my brother's Christmas socks. Those are great beach knitting anyways and we have been doing some beach going these days.
I just finished Mitten Strings for God a few nights ago. Much of it really resinated with me. The author is a bit further along on her mothering journey than me; her warnings about over-scheduling, rushing from play dates to dance classes and home again were timed perfectly. School being out has left us with huge windows of time during our summer days that, although daunting at times, free us up to go to the beach or the woods on a whim. Oh these summer days...
I can't wait to read about your summer knitting and reading!

I've heard about those mitten strings. We've had busy days, but fun days, too. Sometimes I feel like we're doing too much, but wonder summer should be busy and fun. Ah, life when you only have three months of heat!
Great socks!
it's a good idea to start early on knitting those Christmas presents! :) Fun to have a knitting project started that's easy to quickly pick up and knit during the busy Summer days :)
Pretty sock yarn!
ohhhh...and that yarn is divine!!!!
Sounds a bit like my book...
I'm starting to think about all the Christmas knitting I want to get going on. So glad you're enjoying beach days!
Trying to get brave enough to start a sweater, but telling myself the Christmas Stocking must be done first!! Collecting books and a project or 2 to take on vacation next Friday!! WOOHOO!! Can't wait!
