Deadlines I Won't Be Meeting

As promised, I've got a bit of fiber to share today in the form of project updates.

Here is one of the socks that's currently on my needles. This is a simple sock in Fiesta Boomerang in a color called Alaska. I love this yarn soooo much. The colors are great and the yarn is soft. It almost makes me look forward to the colder weather when I can wear these socks. That's probably a good thing because it may be January before I finish these. So much for completing multiple pairs during the Summer of Socks. I think that there are just too many things competing for my attention right now.

Here is a supa-crappy picture of the shawl I'm working on. I like it so far and I think it'll be perfect with the dress. I just doubt that it'll be done in time to wear with the dress. It's not quite at the half way point. That's a problem because there is no Plan B. Either this shawl gets finished in a hurry or I wear a different dress. No good at all. Crap!

Both of these projects and a few more are in my bags, ready to hit the road. In about 24 hours I'll be giving my girls huge hugs and I can't wait. Some parents have their kids fly home or take a bus. I'm not sure how they do it. I can't wait even one extra minute to see my daughters. We'll be there with bells on when the gates open. I'm a little pathetic right now - barely contained. It's not pretty.
