Progress report

I have finished the Ericka scarf and blocked it. It is now ready for winter. I was fun, mindless knitting and perfect for a carry-along project.
The Cassis is coming along great! I tried it on last night and it is down to the ole butt cheeks. When this hank is done, I want to stop and do the sleeves. I want to make sure I have enough yarn for the length I want. With the weather being in the 100s for the past couple of weeks, this project is not fun to work on. I have it off my lap and to the side, but it is still hot to knit.
I have a pair of socks on the needles as my carry-along project. The two skeins of yarn were hard to match up for a matched pair of socks, so this will be my first mis-matched pair. Going wild, I am.
I have resumed my Saturday morning knitting at the Urban Sheep. Thank God they are not afraid to use the A/C :) And iced coffees from Starbucks nearby doesn't hurt either.
I have heard that we will be getting a Hobby Lobby in the near future. So excited!!! I've been to two of them in Texas and love HL, much better than Michael's.
I will post pictures soon of my projects.
Happy knitting everyone!
