Not sure if I mentioned it

but it's hot!

Ugh. 100 again..Maybe more, I am afraid to look.
Despite the constant complaints about the weather, I do like summer. I really like having the kids home. I like the lazy pace of the day. As we move further into August, my anxiety builds though. I miss having them home and our time to just let the day unfold.
This year will be very different. The youngest is off to kindergarten and I am back to school myself. There is something so appealing about a 40 year old woman taking PE and remedial math at her local community college!
So, I want summer to stretch a bit longer and to savor more of this precious time.
Today, in knitting, I completed the red tote and added a little felted bird pin to it. I like how it turned out. I used a clever little rib stitch that The Yarn Harlot mentioned to add ribbing to the top. Of course, you cannot tell it is there after the felting but I know I did it!
I also picked out the pattern I am doing for the Ravelolympics. I am going to make a child's sweater for afghans for afghans.
I am going to make a simple raglan, roll neck sweater.
I am also working on another tote, I am in a tote rut. I am wanting to make some more mobius baskets but nothing from my stash is speaking to me. Etsy sales have been slow(non existent) so I am on a yarn diet.
So, knitting a bit more and pretending I am somewhere that is not 9 million degrees.
