I has a very relaxing Fourth of July – I sat around in my jammies most of the day, knitting and watching the Project Runaway marathon on Bravo. Then I went to a BBQ with some friends (only one minor BB gun incident, so nothing compared to the near-drowning that happened last time I got together with these folks! ) and then to a baseball game with fireworks after. Can't get much more all-American than that!
As you can see from the picture, I'm coming right along on Glee. I've got a few more rows to go before I get to the armholes. I also joined the fronts and started knitting in the round earlier than the pattern calls for. I'm hoping that I'll be able to add the edging and not have to worry about the hook-and-eye closures. I think the Silky Tweed looks great, and I'm hoping I will be able to wear this top even during the heat of summer.
My goal is to get as far on Glee as I can before July 7. I signed up for the Tour de France KAL, so I'll be knitting exclusively on Julia (the Hempathy sweater) during that time, trying to win the green jersey!
It is so fabulous! I can’t wait to see more! great color you chose
Good luck with the KAL! I’m participating in the Tour de Fleece. It’s going to be hard to spin every day!
I’m using Silky Tweed for a sweater, too, but you’re much farther along on yours. That color will be great on you!
