June - July? Hello, where did they go?

Talk about being a horrible blogger. Let me see June - family reunion happened. Me and my sister shopped for everything the day before it was going to happen. Talk about stressful doing it that way but we wouldn't do it any other way. Who needs planning right? Everything went well that day. Nobody was sure of the weather at first but ended up being a nice day after all.
Now onto July - Rick shingled the house, after it was all said and done he stated if it ever needs done again we are paying someone. He was so sore for days after. Finally onto August, well nothing yet its the first day of it, but I can tell you what is planned for this month. Kyle is in midget football, his first year of tackle. I'm a lot more nervous than he is. Soccer for the middle school is going to start soon, I believe the 11th and that will turn into every night running to DuBois. Oh yes and school shopping
Onto crafty news. I've been spinning and knitting, I've come to find out when you spin to knit it takes longer than you would expect, but the satisfaction I felt when it was done I almost couldn't give it to the person that wanted it. What you ask. Well this......



Hand spun brown merino wool, spun up in 3 ply and ended up with a worsted weight yarn. 4oz of roving gave me approx 320 yards. Knit up into the forest canopy shawl. I wore the one I made to my sons karate. I ended up talking to one of the women that take the class during one of their breaks, (long story short) I told her I spin my own yarn, she tells me her and her mother do war reenactments, and asked me if I would make one for her mother. I said yes.

I was also on a dishcloth kick.
