As long as I am able to carry my knitting along from here to there, I am content. Summer brings such multitudes of opportunity to knit out in the open-air.
My Opal striped sock was being knitted in the majority of these photos, the one exception being the black sock. If I could squeeze in a few more outside activities this summer, the striped sock would be completed. Then it can rest on top of my sock stack until cold weather makes its appearance and the need to dress my feet in wool is fully satisfied with a new pair of socks. I wish I could be like Elizabeth Zimmerman and fill a sock drawer with newly knitted socks, but I will be satisfied with what I have accomplished this summer.
“Now, have a good summer. Dabble your feet in the water, and fill the sock-drawer against next winter. I find this as satisfying as studying seed-catalogues by a roaring January fire.” – The Opinionated Knitter

Goodness, it's been a while since I've visited you. I'm glad you contacted me through my blog, as my computer has had major issues lately. Hope you've had a wonderful summer!
I think we should make a date very soon, too. :)
So satisfying to be able to enjoy outdoor activities yet still be gently productive. Beautiful set of photos trailing through your days Cathy. The quote speaks of a wonderful contentment.
Beautiful photos....so nice to follow you around. :) And, btw, your hair is stunning.
I like your white summer blouse. Ah, what a relaxing pastime you have.
E.Z. was my introduction to knitting conversation in her "Knitting Without Tears". Yes, she is quite opinionated and I've found that I've taken her seamless sweater opinion seriously to heart. A yoke sweater for my granddaughter is on my needles this season.
