Happy Monday, I’m back!

Well, it appears I’ll be taking the summer off! Isn’t that exciting? Starting today I’m officially a Housewife! Not a role I’ve done full time before. Actually, this will be my first summer off in 20 years!

I’m looking forward to the chance to get the house better organized and to moving some of my UFO pile into the FO pile over the next few weeks.

I’ve been working on hats and mittens for the holiday gift pile. I’m finishing up a set from the yarn that A and I dyed a couple weeks ago. Grape soda purple with magenta stripes! Very colorful stuff. I’m going on the theory that since this is a kids set, 3 mittens per set is the proper number rather than 2 . . . I’ve done the hat and the bodies of 2 mittens, once I knit the 3rd I’ll do the thumbs on all three. After I finish this up I’ll be back to work on the blanket for my neice and perhaps even get some work done on the spinning for Mom’s shawl . . .

Well off to do some cleaning, more soon!
