Turn-turn-turn

Wow June is the month for birthdays and graduations. And then there is the expected babies we are showering for. Time to make cards, having fun with that.

Still no knitting

Sock #2 is waiting for me to turn the heel. That takes way too much concentration especially with fingering yarn. I always make mistakes. I need to wait for a time when I am relaxed, can put on my super-magnifiers and knit without interruptions. My other waiting projects are my Shape It! Scarf and finishing putting my sweater together.

So instead of knitting what have I been doing? Going to Portsmouth, NH so Taylor could take her paintings to the Three Graces Gallery for her art opening next week. We had a blast! Hot and sunny and watery views. Great shops and better company. And now I am hemming a brides-maid dress!

Scrapbooks too

Finally putting Taylor and Seth's wedding album together. Actually they eloped and these are pictures from their party. I have not worked on my own photos for more than a year. My summer work list just got longer.

Can you have too many?

Yes, it's another Shape It! Scarf. Love wearing them. I used "Sublime organic cotton" DK weight. I am making another one out of the same yarn, cream color. The yarn seems to un-twist on the cast on edges so you can see lots of little strands. I don't think I would buy this yarn again, but I love that it is organic cotton, very soft, and the colors are dreamy. My newest summer scarf.

Knitting not posting

Love my second buttonhole bag. Colors are great. Used some leftover bulky yarn for the base and worsted weight for the rest of the bag. It came out quite a bit smaller than the first one I made, but I love it. I use it for my current knitting project, my pick-up and go bag.

Knit is a destination. Had lots of fun wandering the store and picking out yarn for projects, several scarves and a button hole bag. I have lots of yarn to keep me busy and several projects to finish.

Train knitting

Did lots of knitting on the train. I finished my Shape It! scarf.
