Hot hot hot.

It's hot outside. So I am hiding inside, with the AC on. I went to the post office today, and that just about killed me. I still feel icky. And exhausted. I can do one thing, like load the dishwasher, then I have to sit down and rest. It sucks. I feel like I'm one hundred years old, and climbing the steps (all 8 of them) is like climbing mount Everest.

So. I took pictures of my knitting. Now I need to sit down again, so I'm uploading them. Go me. At this rate, I'll get the laundry done...Mm.... Never.

Here's Merey's diaper bag. I did similar to the bag I made for Tonia, but I didn't slip the stitches on the corners. So this one doesn't fold in quite as nice. I still like it. I hope she does too. It's made out of KnitPicks Wool of the Andes, double stranded in Violet and Hush. Can you tell where I learned I was twisting my stitches when I knit in the round? Well, I can. But she'll never know. I hope.




Next up is my Fuzzy Pink Muppet Sweater. After a weekend at the lake, I got a bunch done on it. I like it, it's going to be warm. But it won't do much for my girlish figure. It's boarding on the frumpy side. Maybe when I block it, it will make it a little less tube like. Who cares really. I still think I'm going to look like a big ol' muppet.


I started working on the socks for my hubby again. I was stuck because I was twisting my stitches, so do I finish, or frog. Plus, I wasn't sure of having enough yarn. So I put the sock on another needle, (I'd still like to knit about 2 inches before I switch to black for the toes) and started the second one. I figure I'll knit until I run out, or I'm even with the first sock. Any bets on which will happen first? I'm laying the money on running out of yarn. But... we'll see what happens.

The dog is driving me crazy today. I know it's becasue she's bored, but I'm not sure I can make it to the mail box and back, let alone take her for a walk.

Poor Puppy. I'm a bad doggie mommy.
