It is never

a good sign when the Weather Bug turns red down there at the bottom of the screen. That means it's searingly hot out there. It wasn't supposed to hit 100 today but the weather elves didn't get that memo, I see. Ugh.

I'm meeeelting...

Any of you out there with an excess of rain or even clouds please feel free to send it all this way. I can't even remember the last time we had some rain and even 97 with a heat index of 101 feels cooler when it isn't so bloody bright out there. Perfect weather to stay the heck inside, watch the College World Series and knit. Or anything else so long as I do not have to set foot out the door.

As proof that I haven't actually melted yet because I have stayed inside and knitted I have pictures:

A nifty little skirty for the Fourth of July! It should be up in the shop soon.

Y'all stay cool, I actually have to venture into the sun for a few minutes. Blagh!

Twins!

Of a fraternal sort anyway.

Y'all have fun. I have laundry to do, it was dog washing day and I got as wet as they did.

Finally!

In case I haven't mentioned it Louisiana summers are humid. Very humid. As in we grow gills to deal with it. I neglected to knit gills into these shorties so they were taking 40 forevers to dry but I fixed that. Rather than ripping them out to add gills I bought them a fan, a tiny, 4" across fan, it's adorable. Earned me some odd looks from the family, then they figured out I bought a fan for the knitting and they shook their head and walked away. You'd think they'd be used to it by now.

On to the now dry shorties:
I almost had a fit when I looked at the picture and thought one cuff was longer than the other but it's a white section last thing before the cuff. *Whew* I have made stupid mistakes like that before but I usually catch them sooner.

Y'all have a good evening, I have family to go visit.

Good Vibrations

Is there a higher compliment to a knitter than to see a knitted gift being used to strings as you intended, especially without it being called to your attention?

Ta Dah!

Elder Child had fun with this rolling. She matched the dice she rolled to the color of the project she was rolling for, silly Elder Child.

This was so much fun I might try it every couple of months for random things from the shop.

Y'all have a good night.
