A looming deadline

Last summer, I participated in Camp Loopy. It was a fun challenge to knit three items with differing parameters over the three months of summer. I completed camp and received a skein of yarn. I thought I would join again this year. Easy peasy.

The project for June must incorporate a yarn you have never knit. Not a problem, I chose Trekking XXL. I chose a basic sock pattern and figured I was good. Nope. The biggest challenge right now is completing my project in the thirty days of June. I have turned the heels on both socks and am furiously knitting. With just four more days left, I need to knit 2-3 inches a day. It seems doable with all the time poolside, but I am not so sure. We even are planning a bit of camping for the weekend. Surely that will help my knitting!

While knitting away on my socks I finished the audio version of Girl in Translation. It was good. The characters were interesting and believable, but the ending seemed a bit off. It made sense, but was abrupt. Next up is a trip to the library. I have a few more audiobooks lined up, but I need a real book next!

Joining Ginny and all the Yarn Alongers for a bit of yarn and page this week.
