First post in July... land of the free...

... and the home of the brave... we are having the obligatory hot dog and hamburger fest today - the B&C does not move forward in his universe without them. But the weather is iffy so we will eat them indoors... not much of a cookout, then, but the cooking will be out of doors so it is still classically a cookout. (fireworks piccies thanks to www.sxc.hu. )

I have not been knitting on anything other than soldiersocks over the past few days - i am trying to get the third pair finished so i can mail three and have three to do. It is a plan - but how much of one? not too sure.

As for the rest - my life is indeed a tapestry. I was cleaning out a desk drawer today and found the picture of the sweater I have completed EXCEPT FOR ONE SLEEVE. Someone should shake me until my teeth rattle. Yes, the cardigan - yes, I should finish it, yes. yes. yes.
