Dodging the Storms

I knit this cute little baby set for a customer. These little booties were so fun to make! And you can't go wrong with this hat. The weather has been very unstable and unpredictable lately. Going to the beach has been tricky! You have to dodge and weave the constant storms!!!



Between a downpour and the fog, my sister and I headed to the beach for a bit. It was beautiful for an hour and then the weird fog rolled in.



Between storms, my youngest and I went our for lunch at a local favorite, Mulligans and then we went for a little ride  to a favorite local nursery, The Herbary at Bear Creek. It's so pretty there.






This pretty succulent came home with me.


Earlier that morning, I took Buddy for a ride because it was raining but he needed to get out of the house. By the time I got to the inlet, it had stopped and we got a quick walk in.





 It's super duper hot here this week. I don't like it!!!!!!!!!! Hope you're all staying cool!

Don't You Love a Good Yoke?


I'm a sucker for knitting yoked sweaters. And the beginning pictures are always my favorite :)

July So Far...































The farm may be closed for the summer but it's still bustling with activity.
Knitting lessons are happening outside at night. Liz is teaching crochet and other craft classes under the tents during the day and in the evenings. We had fun at our local town fair, cousins and sisters hanging out. Beach time, walking at Manasquan Reservoir (5 miles is way longer than I realized!!!), reading, knitting, hanging out, working, keeping critters cool. It's already been a busy July!
