I'm Back, I Think!

The last two weeks have been stressful for sure, and I really needed the break from blogging. But things are looking up, and I'm hopeful I can get back to a more regular blogging schedule (with or without FOs). Work has settled into a dull roar, but in another 6 weeks we will be winding down towards school starting, so I think I can make it. We are also currently redoing our downstairs bathroom. This was supposed to be a one day job, so of course it will take the rest of the month to get it finished. Murphy's law has really taken over the project! But it is going to look great when it is finished.

Thanks to the bathroom, I didn't have as much time for knitting as I would have liked. This is probably ok, because most of the knitting projects are not going very well. I will finish the sock, but I am sure it is going to be too big. I think I will have to rethink the second sock. The Montego Bay scarf is going to be frogged. One long side is just wonky, and I don't think anything is going to help that. And I tried and failed to start the Flower Basket shawl. The only thing that is going well is the Opera Scarf.
I went down to size 6 needles and I am very happy with the fabric I am creating. This is an easy, one row pattern, so it is my travelling knitting for now. It looks like I am going to have a couple of weekends to myself in July, so maybe I can try again to work on a more complicated lace pattern then.

Since it is Monday, let me leave you with a link that put a smile on my face this morning - Yoelknits' korknisse adventure. Have a great day!
