How did we end up here? We've lived in Northern Illinois for 29 years. Way too long for this vegetarian! Thankfully, we're only 90 miles from Madison,WI.

Drive In Knitting

We've been having a streak of summer-like temps here and the kids have been in the pool for over a week.


Last night after a day of swimming we headed to the corn field for the drive in movies. Good times!


Coming up for tomorrow-trail riding. Yes, on horses. I can't believe my family has agreed to participate. I think watching me ride has given everyone the itch to try it out. Should be interesting.

Will Work to Ride

I answered a wanted ad a couple of weeks ago to get back in the barns. I miss the open space of the country and this gets me out of the city and doing what I love.



The next part of my plan involves getting my family addicted to the country too.

May Mojo

Or lack of knitting mojo? I worked on one project the past 20 days. It's a beautiful laceweight shawl(Icarus Shawl) but it sucked my knitting mojo this month.


For 3 days I haven't touched my knitting needles because I don't know what to start. A cardigan, another shawl, a simple discloth? Maybe I'll sit out the rest of May and start something new in June?
Last night I entered all my projects into knitmeter.com to see how many yards of yarn I've knit this year so far. During 2010 I've knit 9 shawls and knit close to 4.5 miles(@7000 yards) of yarn.

Wow, no wonder I feel like giving knitting a short break.
