The leggings, or should I say leg of the leggings, has almost reached the crotch of one leg and I think at that point I'll cast on and begin the second leg instead of working that one leg toward the hip----- I've become bored to bits with this project and if I don't get going on the second leg I'm afraid this project will be a wip forever!
As far as the Year With EZ goes, I've decided NOT to knit the sweater for next month, not in ANY size. It is a polo style and I have absolutely no interest in it, none! So I'll use the time to finish up the mitered square sweater (which is languishing this past week when I felt as if I was running the B&B) and get the leggings done.
I have horrible startitis calling me I'm afraid, I want so badly to get another sweater going. Silver Belle from Vogue Knits is calling my name as is a simpler mockneck style chunky knit. That's when I know I'm bored beyond reason, all I can think about is what is not on my needles!
One of our younger guests this past week was a 12 year old young man who had just learned the knitting basics at camp over the summer. He was fascinated with my knitting so when I asked him if he'd like it if I would cast on something for him, he excitedly chose a scarf. I dug up some old circs and some yarn from the stash and off he went. It was such a surprise to me that a young man of his age would be such the knitter, but there you go--- no judgments! It was a lovely surprise! When he and his family left for home I went to Knit Picks, bought him some great chunky yarn and a new pair of Harmony circs (lucky kid) and had it shipped to him in NJ. I know he will love it and I sure did enjoy doing it for him.
No photos, please forgive me------ I'll catch up later! For the moment I have another day with brides, thankfully no outdoor engagement sessions in this 90 degree heat! Where in the world did Fall go???

Fall is certainly not here in Texas!!! Boy it is hot!
Don't you love being a "Knitting Missionary" spreading the good news of knitting to a new generation? I am still trying to decide about the October project. Seems like I'll still be going round and round with my leggings.
hey there. i don't think i have your email, so i'll respond here. i didn't catch julie when she was here. too bad for me. i have to keep a closer eye on that. we have a great bookstore - the tattered cover - that records some of the authors on podcasts. they are usually pretty good. check out authors on tape!
