Mood – Friday – Well summer is gone… boo hoo. August rains have hit. The Fireweed is blooming up to the end.
WIP - I’m still working on my Chutes and Ladder socks. I finished the 2 birthday scarves. I posted pictures. Snoopy’s sweater is done but I didn’t get a picture. I’m almost finished with one of the clogs. I had to take it to my LYS and talk to D. about the pattern. I was working the pattern correct. The top will take the right shape after it is felted. I turned the heel on one of the “Chutes and Ladders” sock. I plan on finishing this weekend. I bid on 2 different batches of yarn through E-Bay and they came in the mail the same day. They are beautiful. One is assorted black… mmmm cashmere, merino, ladders and other black yarns to make up 1#. The other batch was purples.. also yummy. I better contain myself …my stash is toooooo big.
What I’m Doing – Next week is vacation Bible school/camp at church in the evenings. I’m co-teaching a knitting class for 8 - 12 year olds. It will be fun. We are going to make our own needles also. I’ve been looking for a good tutorial on line… We will see what happens. They are to bring sz 10 needles and yarn.
What Audio Books I’m Listening To - I finished “Mortal Prey” – was very good. Also listened to “War of Eagles” by Tom Clancy and “Dirty Work” by Stuart Woods while camping. It’s nice to sit by the fire, knit and listen to an audio book. I just finished “Nights of Rain and Stars” by Maeve Binchy and have started “Velocity” by Dean Koontz.
Weather - Considerable cloudiness with occasional rain showers. Winds W at 5 – 10 mph. Chance of rain- 50%. Currently 68 High today near 65 low 55.

This is the first slipper that I'm going to felt.
Almost done. Need to add top and the second sole.
Not bad for my first FELT project only one more slipper to go.

Mood – TGIF – and the weather is nice. No smoke. Good forecast for the weekend.
WIP - I’m still working on my Chutes and Ladder socks. I had to frog the second sock 2x. What’s up with that? Oh well… I only have 9 days left to finish them and 2 birthday scarves. I will be busy this weekend. We are going to the cabin – usually I just work on items that can be exposed to smoke. Ie: Snoopy’s sweater and clogs but I guess I will wash the socks before I give them to my little friend.
What I’m Doing Today – Tonight is Bunco and then home to pack for the weekend. I have Monday off too. So it will be nice to just relax and go fishing.
What Audio Book I’m Listen To - I’m listening to John’s Sandford’s “Mortal Prey” - just started. I just finished disk 6 of “Nights of Rain and Stars” by Maeve Binchy, but I only brought 2 disk with me to work. It’s going slow. Nice story though… not to intense, lots of characters.
Weather - Warm and clear. Possible showers by the mountains later tonight. Currently 68 High today 70 low 58.

Mood – Tired/In pain – recovering from a dentist visit this week.
WIP - I’m working on my Chutes and Ladder socks. I’ve frogged 4 times. I will post a picture. I found some nice purple yarn that I like for the most part. It has a tendency to split L . I’m also working on 2 birthday scarves – both for the same day. One is a “Kandy Mistake Scarf” and the other is out of chunky, ladder ribbon, and what I call bums. It’s red. I will take a picture this weekend and post next week.
What I’m Doing Today – I’ve been surfing the net finding cool Blogs on knitting. I still need to find a blog on how to make my blog “look cool”. I went to the library and I got 2 different books on HTML but when I play around with my blog in “Front Page” it’s a mess. My sister was in town last week and we had a nice BBQ last friday at my DD’s. My DH niece also came for a visit and we had a BBQ on sat. so we are BBQ out. I showed my sister all my knitting books etc. and made some copies of different patterns. I sent home a hat and scarf for my niece. This weekend we have a softball tournament so I plan on working on my cable sox then. Tonight we’ll kick back and watch TV, have a pizza and watch – “Monk”. There is a lot of smoke in the air from the forest fires that are burning wild in the Kenai area. The wind needs to shift and blow from the north. My eyes are burning and it’s getting hard to breath.
Weather - Hot and smokey. Currently 66 High today 72 low 58.
