Lazy summer days and knitting

 
You won't find me slaving away at the stove. I am not busy organizing the closets or sitting at the computer.

No, on these bright, sunny, blue-sky days I am outside, with a bit of knitting or sewing. The kids play in the sprinkler or at the playground. Today I got to chat with friends and work on this knitting while the kids played. This is going to be a pair of mittens for someone near and dear, and it is a traditional Norwgian pattern from a near-vintage well used pattern book.

I was pleasantly surprised to find Designer Knitting in my mailbox today. I cancelled my subscription over a year ago I thought in an effort to reduce my, ahem, creative expenditures. It is such an inspiring knitting magazine so I was delighted to have some reading to do in the sun.

I hope you have a sunny and creative weekend! I will be heading to a flea market tomorrow and hopefully have some wonderful finds to show you later.

Ahem... yes, ahem... I too understand the concept of reigning in the creative expenditures.

Seems great minds think alike...I've taken an almost identical photo as your first and posted it on my blog. We've had glorious weather here and I've sat out stitching every day.
