A Year of Projects 2022-2023: Week 2

It’s been another busy week over here. Tons of blueberries from the yard to process. Another batch of banana peppers, and some weeding to plant another box soon. Still waiting for the tomatoes to ripen. The jalapeños and bell peppers also need a little more time.

We had in person Chess Club and a visit to the pool with a friend. Applied plenty of sunscreen, and had my legs in the water the whole time. Still ended up with sunburnt feet. Craziness. Yesterday we went to a local nature center for a plastic bag free day craft. Babygirl and I decorated some canvas bags. While we were there I picked up some paperwork on homeschool classes they offer. I’m going to see if our group wants to do some in the Fall. (The center supplies the teacher, you organize a group of kids for the class.)

The lazy days of summer are over for me for a while as I’m about to start two work projects. I’ll be working mornings M-F with one company and three afternoons with another. Thankfully, they are both short term projects. The morning one is for the rest of July, and the afternoon one ends August 19th. Looking forward to my “vacation” at the end of August. I’ll have about two weeks before we start our schooling.

Socks

Watermelon Socks: Just finished the heel flap last night. Will be starting the gusset today. The goal is to get to the foot so I can take these with me for car knitting when my husband is driving.

Cat Socks: A Christmas gift for Babygirl. I started the second sock Friday night. I will add the heels and cat face when I finish both tubes. These are slow going because I’m trying not to do them when she’s around.

Plain vanilla: These have been my car knitting socks. Still need to add a bit before I do the heel.

Today begins Shark Sock Week. Once I finish writing this post I’m hoping to cast on a sock to participate. It’ll be a challenge to get one done with the week I’ve got coming up, but it’s worth a shot! I’ll be frogging these and starting a pair toe up with this yarn.

Tour de Fleece

I’m having a blast! I’ve been spinning everyday for at least 15 minutes. My daughter made this graphic for me on Canva.

Today I’ll start spinning Electric Boogaloo by Into the Whirled. It was the July 2017 mystery pack.

Summer Fairy KAL

Slow moving on this one. But I’m still moving so it’s all good. There’s no way I’ll be done for the KAL, but I’m taking this one slow and steady. I’d rather go slow and get it right, than have to rip it out and start again.

That’s been my week. Looking forward to checking out what everyone has been up to this week!

Happy Crafting!
