Socks are complete


Finished the ribbed lace socks yesterday and immediately began working on my next project. I also ripped out the Tropical Tee project I began work on over a year ago and started over. It was incredible how quickly I knitted it. Now all I have to do are the arm and neck bands and sew up the sides. It will be too warm to wear right now, but it will cool down in about three months and I can get some use out of it.

Camp has ended :-(

I officially returned home from camp today. Although I don't miss the bugs and other little outdoor terrorists, I think I'm going to miss it especially the ARCHERY!

Nice grouping, eh?
The knitting pretty much went everywhere with me in camp. I bought a little black back pack where I carried a small knitting project (socks, what else?), poncho, umbrella, water bottle, flash light, and bug repellent. I was one of about ten archery instructors. Some days the horse girls came in two groups so I was out there THREE hours. It was nice having some time between groups to practice shooting, read, or knit. The inability to gain Internet access was trying to say the least. With gas prices hovering around $4 a gallon, I made no plans to jet off to the nearest Panera during my break for free wifi.

Now while at camp, I sent off my camera for repair. The picture drought is over.
Monkey socks:

Love that green!

Spiral lace socks that sat for how many months before I finally completed the mate:

CRAZY!

I will post a link to other camp photos in the near future!
