The heat and humidity has returned with a vengeance to the Philadelphia area. But, we are mid-week which is nice. I have plans to meet a friend for dinner Friday and (in my mind) I have a list of things I'd like to get done this weekend. We'll see....
Meanwhile, some modest progress has been made both on the knitting and stitching fronts. First up, Square #2 on my cozy blanket. Certainly a long-term project if there ever was one!
Some stitching was made on the dividing band on the sampler...again, a long ways to go till the finish!
I've started South of Broad by Pat Conroy and am enjoying it. What a bunch of dysfunctional characters!!
That's all I've got today. Hope everyone's week is going well.
The sampler is progressing nicely and looks great. Do you frame the samplers or make them into pillows, etc.?
ReplyDeleteGreat start on the mitered square blanket.
It's nasty hot again here too. Ugh. Love that sampler. It looks like it is fun to work on.
ReplyDeleteI think Confucius said something about a blanket of a thousand squares begins with two, and they look great. You may have a ways to go on your projects, but you are certainly making progress. And I'm glad you are reading something enjoyable!
ReplyDeleteStill hot and humid here too, but I guess that's to be expected in Florida!!!!
ReplyDeleteCozy Memories may be a long-term project, but they sure are fun!
forward progress is always a good thing! I'm really enjoying South of Broad - and oh yeah, dysfunctional seems like an understatement!
ReplyDeleteAs Im reading A year of living Bibically the adam and eve stitching is fun for me
ReplyDeleteHot humid and the rain keeps coming down. Some roads are closed and this means Zach and I may have to change our shopping plans. I want to take him to the MExican Grocer in town, a used bookstore and the garden center. We'll see
Hot and humid here too - and for some reason our property managers decided it would be a good idea to schedule a contractor to do a mass window cleaning... and they asked all the tenants to remove their window a/c units (no central air here), remove all their screens and keep the windows closed for minimum of three days... needless to say, us tenants gave property management an earful.
ReplyDeleteJuly is hot and humid in most of the places...I'm grateful for the A/C for sure! Great start on the cozy blanket!!!
ReplyDeleteHot, humid, thunderstorms, and hideous here in NEO. Ugh. But now, I am only Grateful not to be Wanderingcatstudio! What a terrible request during July!
ReplyDeleteNot much knitting being done here--on either of two unfinished projects. You are way ahead of me there.
Both your projects are looking great! I swear, I don't remember this humidity being SO humid before! It's just stifling! It's like Florida humid! I hate it. :( Enjoy your dinner out Friday!
ReplyDeleteit's humid here too (but not like where you are). love your stitching, I miss doing that and should try to do it again. Stay cool and hope you have a fun weekend!
ReplyDeleteIn this heat, staying still and stitching, knitting and reading are perfect antidotes. Carry on! The sampler is coming along quite nicely.
ReplyDeleteCheers~
