It's the end of a busy week as I try to strike a balance between family life and work prep. Mom, can you give me a ride? Mom, can you help me give my dog a bath? Mom, can you help me pack and move some furniture? And don't forget the copies I asked you to print.
Mothers will do almost anything for their kids. I've made the most of my flexible summer schedule, but I know all of that is about to change when we flip the calendar page.
Today I spent a few hours trying to reconfigure a kit pattern. I procrastinated as long as possible, but the deadline for this project is approaching. After ripping out the same colorwork round two or three times, I decided it would be more productive to spend a little time at my desk instead.
Just a heads up that club orders will close after this weekend. If you've been thinking about joining, now is the time. You'll find all the details here.
I need to feel like I've accomplished something today, so I'm off to finish a couple armholes with Italian bind off.
The colorwork project will keep until tomorrow.
Last week a few of us managed to squeeze in our annual blueberry picking. The season was winding down, but there were still plenty of berries. This week's color inspiration . . .
Berry patch blues.
