Did you miss me? I hope your weekend was a good one. And for all my fellow Americans: I hope you had a super awesome 4th of July! I am afraid we missed the fireworks this year (last year we saw some really good ones at my mother-in-law's). We were having an extra fun four days swimming, sailing, and camping here:
We were lucky enough to have extra family members join us for a couple days. My husband's father, step-mom, and sister all drove out to play. The water was cold but the sun was hot, so jumping in felt really good. The sail boat was my love's birthday present last year (although he was the one who found it on Craig's list, went to check it out, and bought it. I did agree to it). It is a really fun little Hobie cat that is perfect for this trip. It is great on small to medium size lakes but any bigger or more crowded and it stops being fun.
I actually got more knitting done than I thought I would. With the extra people I as able to sit down, relax, have a chat, and knit. I finished the fingerless mitts for my girl. They are extra-long, reaching almost all the way to her arm pits. This will come in handy on chilly mornings. Also, I now have the hang of the nupps on the lily of the vally border for the swallowtail shawl. I worried that these little details were going to be the bane of my existence (and wrists) for the next two weeks. Now I feel hopeful that it will be done by next Wednesday!
Wish me luck
