Thank you for all the encouragement to finish my quilts.
And now a little something for you.

In Which I Give Away Yarn

Did I mention here yet that I used to own a yarn shop? Well, I did, and boy did I take advantage of the 'owner's discount plan'. I have lots of yarn. But I'm not knitting much and I live in a small house. So, my storage problem has become your good fortune. Here goes. Just post a comment describing your favorite thing to do in August, and next week (how about Thursday the 22nd at 9pm) I'll pick a random winner. This is my first giveaway so if I've neglected some important detail please let me know!

The yarn is Artyarn Supermerino in color #134 (handpainted tones of yellow and off-white). There are 7 skeins and each skein is 104 yards. It's lovely yarn. Here's a photo of a sweater knit with the same yarn (in a very different colorway). And here's another. Can you tell that really like this stuff?

I'm off for a spontaneous weekend with my husband's mistress (our house in Vermont). See y'all on Monday.

Gratuitous Kid Photo

Today was Decade Day at Jake's camp. He chose the 60's. As if there was any other choice.

Overheard at camp pickup: "There's my Mom. See, she's actually more of a crunchy granola than a hippie".
