July Update

It's been a while since I updated, so I guess I'd better! Not that the world really depends upon it, but you know, it might.

July is shaping up to be a busy month between participating in Julnowrimo to events, such as Ravinia and the Mid-West Fiber Fair. To be perfectly honest, I know that I will not be completing a 50,000 word document this July. My goal is to complete the first draft of a twelve chapter manuscript. I'm still on chapter one. :P

As for knitting, I plan on seaming the sides of my lining for my Daphne Purse today. I've got the material cut and bought a spool of white thread (why isn't this finished, yet?). I've also ironed on the interfacing to the handles, so they're ready to be tacked down.

And!!! I'm almost finished with the socks I started for my mom. They're ready to be bound-off and have their ends tucked in. The Serenity sock yarn is so soft and lovely to work with. I might cast-on my next pair of socks soon, though I really, really should finish a few other projects first (like the Daphne Purse)!

Happy knitting!

P.S. New tea cup from TJMaxx, you like?
