What’s Going On - – Memorial day on the way!!! Finally a 3 day weekend.
WIP – I’m working on the “Forest Canopy Shawl”. I think I finally got the hang of it. I love the way you can add a life line with the “knit pick” needles. Now if I can remember the Yarn overs! I’m also trying to finish the “buttonhole” purse. I plan on giving it to a friend moving to Illinois. I taught her to knit last year. She’s a natural. I also have been trying to finish my “baby socks” that I started from the “Sock Seminar” in April.
What I’m Doing – We are planning on going to the cabin tomorrow for a day. Some serious knitting will be done. I’ll be working on my DH “felted clogs”. I work on felted items when sitting by the “fire”
What Audio Books I’m Listen To – I finished “HOME TO HOLLY SPRINGS” by Jan Karon. I love Father Tim and I’m glad this is the first of a series. I also finished “THE 2 MINUTE RULE”. Now I’m listening to “THE SISTERHOOD” by Michal Palmer. Very good. A medical murder mystery.
What's On My Night Stand – PEOPLE OF THE WEEPING EYE by Kathleen O’Neal Gear and Micheal Gear. Very good. About the people of America- The great Mississippian chiefdom's from long ago before civilization and Columbus. The authors are very knowledgeable historians and archaeologists. Almost done then on toe “BEFORE GREEN GABLES” by Budge Wilson.
Weather -
Today: Overcast with rain showers at times. High 51F. Winds SSE at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 60%.
Tomorrow: Partly cloudy skies in the morning will give way to cloudy skies during the afternoon. High 56F. Winds SW at 10 to 15 mph.
Sunday: Occasional showers possible. Highs in the mid 50s and lows in the low 40s.
Monday: More sun than clouds. Highs in the mid 50s and lows in the low 40s.

What's up – Well it’s Friday and time to update. It’s Boo Boo’s birthday weekend so it will be busy. Also tonight is game nite. I plan on going by knitting first then on with hubby. The short row seminar last week was good and I was able to work on my short row scarf or rather start over. The technique we learned does look better. I was not picking up my stitch correctly. Next week we gear up at work for the summer. I think things will be a little slower here with the gas $$$. I finished my friend’s babysweater for her Great Grandson yesterday and got it in the mail today. His birthday is the 23 and Boo Boo’s is the 21st so they are very close in age. I also sent Renee her Birthday present. A book on Looming and a small loom for making baby hats.
WIP - I blocked the babysweater using the wet towel method. It worked great. I think finding the buttons and sewing them is one of the hardest things when it comes to sweaters. I think I will always try attached the buttons while I knit.. it makes it so much easier. I started the “Forest Canopy Shawl”. Several people on Friday Nights are knitting. There are several pictures posted on “Friday Night Knits” blog. I also started the “Toe up Socks” – Magic loop technique. Man … finally settled on the “figure-8” cast on.
What Audio Books I’m Listen To – Still listening to "Home to Holly Springs" by Jan Karon. And the car – “2 Minute Rule” by Robert Crais, RB: Christopher Graybill. It’s a book about ex-con Max Holman who get out of jail and tries to connect with his son. The son (a police officer) gets killed before that can happen and Max tries to put the pieces together. Very good so far.
Weather : Is is summer yet?

Tommorrow is the "Knitting Guild" and a "Short Row" seminar.... and my husband has a run early in the morning. Sooooo off to the race.. then I'll race to the seminar... then I'll race over and pick up my husband... then he'll race back at 3PM and pick me up.. whew I'm tired just writting that.
WIP - Well the baby sweater is finished. I've blocked it and tonight I'm going to finish weaving in the ends and I might look for buttons. Hope to finish this weekend. If I have time I will start my socks .. the 2 on 1. I'm finishing the small baby sock .. the one from the March Sock seminar. They don't fit Chase so I will have to wait and see who will be the luck baby!
