Catch up

The month of August was a blur of football practice and salmon colored OHSAA physical forms. To get caught up, there will be lots of photos, and not so many words.

Okay, so to finish out July, we'll start with my birthday present from the Jersey fam.
A night at the Jake (I know it's not called that anymore, but I will always call it the Jake) at an adult clinic with Paul. My first experience with baseball pants - not a fan. But overall, we both had a really good time.

And the agony of finishing the Herbology sweater, which I did, on time. Just doesn't fit the way I want it to.
Okay, onto August.Like I said, lots of football practice and paperwork. Did some spinning.
Finished, finally, the Air fiber. About 1100 yards of laceweight. I impressed myself, there's more fiber to spin. I had a taste for something bright and thick, so I grabbed some Falklands wool in "Vibrant Rainbow" and got this:Then while Seamus sitting, I cranked out 328 yds of fingering wt. superwash Merino from this:

Colorway "Sweetheart". I have plans to make another one of these:

Pattern is Baktus, found through good knitting pal Paula. That same weekend was the Festival.
Nephews + ice cream bars = good times.

The next weekend was my birthday. Ellie took me out to Olivor Twist for some fantastic martinis, and some not so fantastic cake thing.
Sunday was the hottest day of the summer, and Stitch'n'Pitch at the Captains stadium. So out I went to hang with my knitting pals.

Maggie, Rebecca, Paula and Kathy. Didn't knit at all, it was way too hot, and then the thunderstorm hit as I was leaving. Had to head out early because my party was that evening.

Family came over for the best cake ever (seriously, get a Coldstone cake, it's heaven). And some cornhole.

Yep, I got a Steelers cornhole from Paul, Peg and the kids for my birthday. Love it. So does Mason.

Okay, so that's only through half of the month, but the last weekend requires a post of it's own, later. Have to go to work now.
