So, what has the summer held for me and my family? Let's see...
Uhhhh....
Well, I'd hoped to share a couple photos of our summer fun, yet Flickr hasn't been able to pull my assorted funny family fun photos off my camera. Fancy that. Guess I'll have to stick with the knitting. I finished 3 bags:
Rutabaga,

and 2 Malika's. (this one is a tribute to McDonald's)

and this was the first one. I made it longer than the pattern suggested because I didn't trust that it would be big enough as is. I could carry my kindergartner around in this bag if I wanted to.

I'm making June is for Jag for my mom's birthday out of Dream in Color Classy in Good Luck Jade. The pattern is a perfect fit for the perfect yarn. Pretty, huh?

Because I'm not positive this is the exact color Mom is looking for, I'm also making the Cashmere Ruffles Scarf from Closely Knit using Malabrigo Silky Merino DK in green/gray. No photo yet, but it's oh so yummy.
I sewed buttons on 28thirty,

blasted through the Canopy Cardigan from Knitscene,

a pair of mitts (Laura's Ribbed Mitts by Carrie Barraco, free Ravelry pattern),

and several hats (Santa Cruz, Foliage, Nezumi, Maple Seed).





I had an itch to do some stash busting. Can you tell? I'd hit you with more FO's but they aren't as recently done so I'll leave those for another day. Have a good one!
