Checking In
Just checking in..haven't posted in a while. We spent Memorial Day at Lake Texoma in the rv with David, Amanda, Savy & Dax. Mel and Bri met us there and stayed in one of the cabins close by. We had a wonderful time and the kids really enjoyed it there! They spent most of the time in the pool. Dax wasn't sure about the pool thing at first but once he got used to it it was hard to get him out of the water! Savy has always been a little water baby and wasn't interested in the other activities going on...she just wanted to swim and swim! It was such fun!
One thing I did before we left was get my head shaved...lol...not really, but I did get it cut....REALLY short! I had it short for several years but never this short! It is taking some getting used to when I walk past a mirror, but as far as maintenance goes....I love it! I don't even have to use a comb or brush, just my fingers! Easy, easy! Will probably keep it this way for a while!
I did finally get going on the knitting again. I was just bored with everything I was doing! Not so much the Lady Eleanor but it is so hot piled up in my lap. Especially since I usually have a minimum of 3 fur kids in my lap too! I'm either going to have to wait until it's cooler or work on it when no fur babies are around!
Anyway, I started three more wip's this past week. I wanted an "idiot knit" project to work on during the drive to Texoma so I cast on the Shoulder Split Sweater from the Vogueknitting site. I'm doing it out of some Rowan Bamboo Tape I had in the stash. I think it will be a great every day summer top.
One other thing I started.....or maybe should say re-started....is the MS 3. That's the one that got the juices flowing again! It's hard for me to put it down even though I have to work on it when there isn't much going on....needless to say I didn't touch it this weekend with all the fun and festivities going on! This time she is being done out of Jagger Spun Zephyr from the stash with gold seed beads.
I also finished...except for felting.....the African Tote kit from Bully Woolies that I picked up at The Gourmet Yarn Co. It was really fun to do and went really fast!
Other than that, not much going on. Praise God, the dizzy spells have gone away!! I haven't had a dizzy spell for 8 days now. I'm canceling the nerve impulse and hearing/imbalance tests they wanted to do. Even with insurance it costs a blooming fortune to have any kind of medical treatment done and I can't see paying for them when the symptoms have gone away.
The next couple of weekends are going to be busy ones around here. I'm going to miss two knitting functions, which I'm not happy about! Next weekend all of DH's kids are coming into town and will be here during The Gourmet Yarn's Knit-In. :-( so I'm going to miss that and I'm going to miss Guild the weekend of the 14th because I'll be attending a wedding in Austin. The only upside is there are 5 yarn stores in Austin..lol! The wedding is for my best friend's son. I'm going for her...she is such a wonderful person, but I can't stand either one of her kids. They have always treated her like crap and I just have not respect for them at all, but I love her dearly so feel I need to go for her.
