Independence Weekend

So, it is the 4th of July weekend and I have feel I have done very little in the way of yarncraft projects this week. Of course, it is the first week of another quarter at school. I am so ready for school to be over! I just want to work on my projects and enjoy the beautiful outdoors, not deal with homework, housework or dayjob :/. Anyway, we had a great time last night with the "family" and some fireworks, steaks on the grill at home tonight and the girls will be off to watch the fireworks on the river with their boys and I will enjoy a little peace and quiet.

Back to the stitching...I did start two new shawls. The first I started for a crochet along and realized I like the love knot so much I am making Jenni a shawl for her wedding next weekend with the same pattern. I found some nice soft bamboo/acrylic blend yarn and will be sewing some crystal beads in the wedding colors onto it.

I also have been working on my learning to knit. I actually am not doing too bad, I think. I can't tell enough of a difference between the stitches yet, but I hope I am knitting and purling.  I suppose I need to go to the LYS and have them grade my progress :D lol.

No finished projects this week, but I guess it has been a productive and busy one.
Happy 4th...I am off to play with some yarn and eat steak.
