Missing My Mojo

 Look at that. I won a book on kathy b's blog and it's already here! This was just the push I needed to get me to pick the needles back up. Thank you Kathy! My mojo has been lacking for the past few weeks but it has been beastly hot and humid. This has been a miserable summer and that's saying something as most summer's are hard to bear here in the high humidity of the Mid Atlantic swamp lands. If my ancestors had only stayed put, I'd be basking in 60 degree temps in Gloucestershire in the UK.

Aubade, the pi shawl was supposed to be my hot weather project and it's grown a bit but I'm pretty sure I'll still be working on it next summer.

 I've been putting a row or two on the body of my vest during breaks in spinning while watching the Tour but picking this heavy wool up has been torture. I'm also trying to ignore the fact that I am running out of yarn. I don't want to think of more carding and spinning right now. The Tour has done a number on my hands.

 My traveling sock project is nearing the toe. I do so love Felici. It had a limited comeback this summer and I should have bought more. It is brain candy.

Tracery hasn't gotten a new row since the Tour started. I spin at night as well as in the morning just to keep up. I miss my Gilmore Girls on Netflix time in bed with it. I'm also now hooked on Supernatural so I can have two hours of Dean and Fair Isle all at the same time. Heaven.

 Oddly enough, what I really want to work on is my cabled sweater that I put away last fall when I started the sleeves. I think that maybe if I work on fall projects this hot weather will blow away. I wish.

What scares me is that my crumpled up notes on the pattern remind me that there is a lot going on is this sweater. I had to learn things and remember things that I think I forgot. I should know better than to put something this complicated in time out. It's not going to be fun figuring this out all over again.
