Beach Bum

I've been in a Florida for a few days now and this is my first actual DOWN time. I love vacation but I think I need to plan in more do-nothing time.

On this trip, I think I brought too many projects :) I must have felt that my fingers would be flying and I'd get everything done. Silly knitter....

palm trees! beaches!

On The Needles (or projects drug to Florida)

Finishing my friend's second vanilla sock. I pulled this out in the car to knit on and two of the needles pulled out, so I started it over. I'm past the cuff and on to the leg, about... 3 inches in. I'm hoping to get it completed on this trip.

My Dichotomy shawl was my main car knitting. Easy to remember pattern, larger needles and worsted yarn. I haven't worked on it anymore, saving it for the return trip home.

I brought my mom's Christmas present - as yet named in public - but haven't touched it.

I also brought my Hermione socks to work on. Haven't touched :)

And lastly (see! I told you I brought too much!) a freshly wound cake of NC yarn that will become my North Carolina Adventure Socks using the Simple Skyp pattern.

My main goal is to finish my friend's sock so I can get the pair to her. I have 5 more days!

All Queued Up

Have you seen the Wonder Woman sweater yet??? It's a free pattern and holy moses, I want to make this!! In the library because someday.....

I have a few patterns that I've already done back in the queue. I'm hoping to make some projects that I can auction off to raise money for the charities I walk for. Contacting the designers to make sure it's ok and then we'll move on from there. I'm hoping to have something up for auction every quarter but we will see.

For Your Eyes

The only time the TV has been on here in FL is to see the season finale of Heroes of Cosplay. I love this show! I'm not a cosplayer but I'm in awe of the craftsmanship. I am fully dedicated now to learning my sewing machine and learning to sew.

In Your Ear

No new audiobooks this trip as I've been listening to a lot of podcasts. I'll throw those out in the next updates because they are good ones! I bring my little iPod speaker on vacation with me so I can have something to listen to, music/podcasts/books. I can't stand the jibber jabber of TV so this is perfect. And hey, my view is the ocean. What more can I ask for?

My view for a week
