I finished my first really hard project and I can't believe how prettily it turned out! This is so cool! It's a wool tote that you throw in the wasing machine when you're done and it felts. Here are some before and after pictures of the bag. It is a bit hot to use for the summer but it will be nice for the fall/winter. It took me about 2 months of knitting off and on to complete. My fingernails do not like wool. They get very dry and brittle when I knit with it. I'm not sure what to do about that. However, I am looking forward to knitting another. I purchased purples for the next one. We'll see.
Watched the season finale of "Lost". It really made my blood run cold when the boat people took Walt. I cannot wait until the fall to see the new episodes. I have never gotten so caught up in a show. Really intriguing. I hope they don't have some lame story line. But knowing the JJ Abrams creator it will be amazing. I also discovered a great website at abc.com to get little hints and clues. Cool and a bit spooky.
Well, Tim has taken off the bubble from the pool and I guess we will be swimming in the sunshine for the rest of the summer. Gotta go dig out the sunscreen (or not according to new medical findings and vitamin D). All puppies and people are doing well. Looking forward to a nice long summer. The kids don't go back til August 25th!
