Ahhhhh... Summertime!

It's been awhile! Finished that first 4-week Stats class with flying colors. Hoping to get a few tutoring gigs this next year-- I just love that stuff! Meantime, I've been busy learning how to relax. Along those lines, here are a few knitting projects! This first shawl, cheesy ole Red Heart on size 13's, is modeled by our little buddy Purl:

And next we have 2 not-quite-finished designs done in fancy shmancy yarn. The turquoise is silk-wool I hand-dyed in a class over Spring Break, along with a ladder yarn. I still have 1 side left to fringe. The blue is Patagonia hand-spun/dyed cotton and so soft it should've been a critter:

Currently on the needles is an experimental cape/shawl, sort of shaped like bat wings, but if we publish it I'm sure we'll call them butterfly wings. It'd look great in silk, or cotton, or heck, it looks great in cheesy ole Red Heart!

Life-wise, I just got done with a great Psychodrama workshop, am really excited about the method-- it seems to work "ground up" instead of like cognitive-behavioral where we're always having to think think think to make connections & changes in our lives. Doing some more research on substance abuse treatment. And I'm back on the literal treadmill again, too. Will hit the pool when it's economically feasible. I don't see paying $4 to go in and putter around for 1/2 a mile! I'm sure my first week back will be like that, but I'm trying to get a jump-start on the stamina first. And I have a container garden going! If the dang raccoons leave it alone. Went out this morning and the only pots not overturned were the squash, which I'm totally grateful for since I got the seeds from Jane with the hope of propagating the species! In fact, I think I'll go out there now with some chickenwire and get creative. Maybe a car battery, too...

A car battery? I can just see a raccoon with his hair on end & his tail in a zig-zag {g}. The shawls are beautiful.. I especially like the open work design in the blue one.
