july already?!

where does the time go?

i have been busy --- knitting --- and i actually finished my sweater! though, i don't yet have any pictures of it.

i came home last night, and "forced" myself to weave in the ends. BUT, today, i was able to wear the finished tee (sans blocking). as a reminder, i knitted gemini from knitty.com.

it's a very cute summer tee, which i knitted from hempathy (a hemp/cotton/rayon mix), and it's top down. this was my first top down sweater ever knitted, and also totally seamless garment.

now i'm itching to start a new summer tee --- maybe something crocheted. or maybe, the same pattern? ... i don't know. i don't want to get burned out on a repeat.

i'm still knitting socks ....


this is one of my very ugly monkey socks. i finally finished the toe yesterday, and need to cast on the mate.

i need to really get my act together for my august sock finishing frenzy sponsored by ms. mapleweave.
