Disappointed T-Rex

Life has been a crazy business lately! I am also in the mid summer knitting slump, either that or I've started to despise sock knitting. I consle myself with the knowledge that in 5 glorious days I will be basking on the dock at the cottage just me and my knitting.

Like any good addict I have already started to prepare my knitting for this trip.

With me I am taking the materials to make a Talia Vest, in burgandy. Polly Jean socks, just to see if it really is me becoming bored with my Leyburn socks, or if I have lost my sock knitting mojo. I'm also taking a Gail shawl in Tanis' Royal Flush colourway. This one will be the ultimate test in deception since I am making it as a gift for my sister, who will be sharing my living space next week. If she hates the yarn at least I will know well in advance.

And finally my Love Bites scarf, because I have not been feeling the scarf love and I really would like to get it out of my wip basket. I think it will also make for good car and rest stop knitting since it's on a 16" circular and takes little space.

I have found a local yarn store I can visit, there is no internet or cell service so I won't be able to check rav or the internet if i can't figure something out. Hopefully that won't happen, but if it does I am prepared.

I haven't even figured out what clothes I'm bringing with me yet. I figure as long as I have knitting, and a bathing suit it will be fine. haha.

I got caught up last week making some a little leftovers project for a swap partner (which I will possibly post after she gets it so I don't ruin the surprise!) and some cupcake pin cushions which turned out poorly and will probably be frogged or given to the kids to play with.
