This & That on Thursday

How about a bit of the random today?

 ~It's now July and it's STILL raining!  Will it ever stop?

~It wouldn't be so bad if it weren't also COLD.  Yesterday was July 1st and we broke records in these parts for the coldest high temperature since 1976!  Enough already; I wan't to start breaking temps for the hottest low.

~Hubby got my pool set up early this year. 

~I was in it for a couple hours one day about 3 weeks ago (it really wasn't warm enough but at that time I was already sick of the rain and took advantage of a sunny day).

~This is our busiest time of year at work.  We are preparing our final tax assessments and need to get things ready for bills to be printed.

~Our computer server is having fits with our assessing software and keeps kicking us out of our program or not letting us get into it at all.

~It's been a long couple of days at work and today looks like it's going to be more of the same.

~Looking on the bright side - I can now spare a couple of minutes to write this post.

In knitting news:

~I finished my Crazy socks last night.

SOS'09 Pair #3 Yarn: Austermann Step 6, color #111 Herbst
Needles: size 2 1/2 dpn's
Pattern: top down, afterthought heel, stockinette stitch on 48 stitches

~Surprisingly, I was even able to match up the colors! 

~I'm not crazy about the Crazy Socks, but they'll be warm and my feet can use some warm (see above).

~Finishing this pair leaves me with just one WIP.

~The Cabled Yoke sweater is nearing completion - just one sleeve to go. 

~That neck looks a little wonky in the picture, but it's really not. 

~The "just one WIP" thing won't last long - I'm hoping to cast on for my next pair of socks tonight.

In Spinning News....

~I've got nothing.  I've done no spinning since the Spinning Bee.

~That'll change tonight because tonight is Chicks with Wheels night.

~That's all the random I have for you. 

~Have a great day.

How can it be summer if you're not in the pool?

[Karen]

I am so tired of this weather...
I think the socks and sweater look great!

[Hillary]

I think I'm with you on the crazy socks. Just too much going on but I'm sure they'll be warm. Here's hoping that the sun finally appears and you don't need the socks till fall. :)

Socks look fantastic...and that sweater looks very cool with only 1 sleeve - you should be done with that in NO time!! : )

[Sheepish Annie]

You know, those socks actually look kind of nice now that they are done. Everyone needs a little fun footwear these days what with all the dark rainy weather...

[marianne]

That's it - we've got crummy weather cause hubby opened the pool too early! :) Just kidding...

I just want this to go away...we are on flash flood warnings or alert or something like that...it doesn't matter - because I never drive through standing water...
