Sorry about the brief silence. I know, not like me at all!! I think sometimes when you take a break and get out of the habit of reporting in you just find it hard to get it all going again. Well, I’m back now.
What was I doing while away? I picked up HP7 on Saturday morning with every intention to begin reading it right away at my hair appointment.
I have issues with reading when there is a lot of noise around me, though, so I could forget about being able to concentrate there! I gave it up for a bad job (cute little British saying I picked up from the books) and continued listening to the end of Book 6. We went out on the boat Saturday night and then I hung out at the LYS Sunday before a round of golf (got my first bogie!!! NOT the British term you think and, yes, I am proud of making a bogie!). Sooooooo, I spent ALL day reading Monday. I wouldn’t let myself on the computer for fear of spoilers and we all know I am addicted to my PC. I finished around 4pm and was so emotionally drained that I just vegged the rest of the night.
Knitting resumed on Tuesday and I have been working on my Pomatomus Socks which I finished Tuesday night! Woohoo!
LOVE EM! Definitely one of my favs that I have knitted!

mods: I think the only thing I did differently than the pattern was to cast on using the method from Embossed Leaves Socks by Mona Schmidt (Favorite Socks).
I am also happy to announce that I have finished, washed and blocked my Sockapalooza 4 Pal’s socks!!
***Which also qualify for Summer of Socks 07***
Yes, that’s right, they are Monkeys!
J-Knits yarn in Louisiana (1 skein…I know they look sort of different but it is just one skein! Weird, huh?)
mods: I think the only thing was the heel…I did partridge eye. I love it cause it looks like fairisle.
Finally, I have been working away on my Embossed Leaves and should have them done before the end of the month. That will be 3 pairs of socks for the month of July for SAM3. Amd I’ve signed up for SAM4, too! (surprise!)
Don’t worry, I’ve not forgotten about my niece’s dress. I plan to work on the neckband tonight and get it washed and dried so that I can get it off in the mail no later than Wednesday.
I apologize if you are sick of seeing this:
but I live with him and I’m not. I looked up from my afternoon of knitting and thought this looked like the definition of happiness.
