Knit "A Bit", indeed

Someone from the knitting web ring is going to bust me if I don't post an entry here pretty soon.

I am still knitting occasionally; witness the progress on a sock of Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock Yarn:

The pattern is from the "Knitting on the Road" book by Nancy Bush. I'm too lazy to go look at the name of the pattern.

I am so busy with work and the kids, I haven't had time to do basic things like moderate exercise or eating healthy. School starts in two weeks, and then a big project wraps up on October 1. So I'm looking forward to things slowing down a lot this fall. Since you last heard from me, I've been to Wyoming for a week-long assignment and to Lake McConaughy ("Hades") on the hottest weekend of the year. And the boat broke down, even.

I read a good book: Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond. A fascinating book, and much better than the dumbed-down PBS series.

I've been enjoying Kirsten's "Daily Tab" over at "At My Knit's End". And I was so sorry for the loss of her brother-in-law a few weeks ago.

My favorite yarn store, "Woolen Treasures", moved to new more spacious digs in Loveland. Can't wait to spend more money there.

Well, there you have it.

We're "on the road". I think of you with all the different bodies of water we've been seeing.

I also find less and less time to knit. I really have to complete some started knitted projects. I hope you enjoy the larger yarn store. Let us know what you find.
