What a hot week!
I gave my sister her shawl, and my other sis took photos of both, and the beginning of the baby sweater. What baby sweater, you ask? The one for the shower in less than a week, of course!
I meant to make a blankie...much quicker, imho, but the yarn with the only hook i had taken with me to Cleveland came out hard enough to be a play mat, rather than a blanket!
We found these cool colors...pale tangerine, yellow, and this odd pinkish red...that sound bad but look good. I started with the hood, and am now doing the first sleeve. That may not be as good as it sounds, as I decided to get the sleeves out of the way, then do the body, since I am going top down.
Someday, when sis figures out how to set her soft ware, she will send me pics, and I'll get them up here.
Also while at Susan Yarns in Cleveland (Heights?) I found some lace weight wool, which I may use instead of waiting for the wool that may or may not be coming. It is turquoise, with bit of white through it. I got a half pound, at the yardage of1700 ypp, time 3 strands. I will have to look more closely (DUH) to see if I need to separate the strands, or combine them.

The kyo...2 has a little tiny problem... my helper had to unvolunteer. i put out an initial cry for help, and need to check as to wheter anyone has responded.

On other fronts, the whole housing thing may be going to work out in the end. Ds' school situation might settle down well, too. I even got directions from my recent student aide, to the picnic...looks as if it is actually over in Warren.

It is too hot to proof read. What is there is there, right now.
