Love . Leigh . Knitz: s.u.m.m.e.r.t.i.m.e. ...

and so... june has come... and gone... july was set off by the holiday weekend brightened by skies filled with booming fireworks... summertime is here, my dear... i love that it stays light out until nearly 9pm... i love that the weekends bring regular visits to the ocean and "beach frizzies"... i love wearing flip flops with everything... and i love that the warm temperatures are a valid excuse (at least in my book) to consume mass quantities of ice cream!

right now harry cat is relaxing comfortably next to my keyboard... while i post... happy as a kittyclam... he's discovered the aquarium screen saver and, when not cat-napping, enjoys being entertained by the animated sea life... he has offered no signs of interest in learning how to type or help with my on-line banking, though...

meanwhile... being a bit overdue for a current "post"... i thought i'd share a few pix of some recent (you guessed it...) knitting projects...

the first - a little red cardi from the Ella Rae Book 7... to which i added some oversized buttons and knitted flowers...

and the second... the not-yet-completed "divine" cardi (also from the Ella Rae Book 7)... the front panels and back are complete... just finishing up the sleeves and then it can be sewn together... i love the yarn color of both sweaters... (sorry, my quick pix don't do the colors justice)... and given that this is the second "divine" cardi to come off of my needles, i'm keeping my fingers crossed that this one doesn't fit me... since it's supposed to be a gift... no-no-no... i don't want to be tempted to introduce it to my own closet...
