Long time no see...

I know this is probably the longest I've gone without a post in a long time, but lately we've been having a heat wave. This is the first weekend since my birthday that the temperature isn't somewhere in the high 90's.

I know this is Southern California and I know it gets hot, but not usually until August.

So this weekend I'm getting back to my knitting since I know I won't be sweatting all over my piece. I'm still working on the baby sweater and fruit loop socks. I'm so slow.

Also, now I think I have a newly found liking for crochet (thanks Rae). I was talking with my aunt today, who is a quilter/knitter/crocheter/seamstress extrodinaire and who was my main teacher of knitting and quilting as a child, she's helping me to understand crochet patterns much better. They're not written in plain english, or to me they aren't that is, so she's being super helpful (yay!).

I think I'm only going to stick to crocheting simpler things like hats, lacey things, afghans and so on, but it's something different to take away from the knitting hum drum that I think I've fallen into.
