The Long Hot Summer...

Clara: Well don't throw in the towel yet, Agnes, dear. Those tranquilizers may see us through yet.


New Jersey is usually tolerable.  I lived in Baton Rouge, LA for 5 years and after that I thought I was immune to the heat up here.  I can count on two hands how many times I have left the AC on in the bedroom at night let alone kept it on all day to just maintain the status quo. 

This year I have not turned it off since Sunday.  I hate AC but it has its place.  I am moving to Florida as soon as I can sell this @#$% house sold and I know I will need and have it there. But, I am not one of those 68 degreers.  I like to keep it just at the level where the humidity is staved off.

Knitting Update...

Khodachrome is DONE!!!!
Breezy Cardigan is almost done - I am on sleeve 1 of 2.


I am now faced with having to Fix Marin and have it done for a BFFs Bday

My sis saw a cute cowl when we visited her LYS and wants me to knit as well.  Problem - I LOST what I have started.  I have 28 inches to go and bind off.  When I came home, I cleaned out my tote.  I "moved" it somewhere and can't put my finger on where.  UGH!


I am a bad bad shopper...
I have added one skein of Breathless in Black Truffle colorway and joined the Plucky Knitter's subscription club for 4 skeins of fingering weight (first to ship end of August).
Oh and another skein of Pura Lace (but I NEEDED it to get ready for one of these...)
