Two months

Two months give or take from last post. Reasons: nasty summer colds, teething baby, ever more mobile baby, ever more opionated baby, vacation, some knitting malaise, and just plain summer busy.

First up in knitpicks cotlin, a cute tank top for Yogurt, based loosely on "Pebble" but knit in the round without buttons, and then back and forth in garter stitch past the armholes. It was quick and easy, taking about 1 50 gram ball. I knit it on vacation in lovely Hilton Head, SC.

Second, something started for myself. A summer tank top likely. Hopefully I haven't started it too loose. It is a recycled cotton/ acrylic blend. I forget the name. It has been slow going because of a lack of time to work on it. Let's see if I can make a little progress?

My anabel sweater is on hold until the fall. It is too hot to work with wool, unless it is lace or sock weight.

After reading (well listening to) "The Night Circus" I am thinking on a bright red scarf. I will continue thinking until I'm done the tank top. But thinking (and looking) is fun.
