Summer Begins
It's summer here in Southern California, and it's been getting up to 95/100 here already. This is just the beginning of summer, and I am real thrilled to see 112+ temperatures for the summer months ahead...NOT!!! Thank god that our A/C is working good!
Well, this month I had a little injury. I had pulled the muscles on my right lower side and back toward the hip. It's ok now, and I think I can get back to knitting again. I have really missed knitting. It was just too painful to hold up the needles and knit. I've a doggy sweater started, but now I have to switch to a circular needles to do the next part of the sweater. I have to order the needles from Jo Anns.com, which incidentally has a sale on right now. I have also switched from English style knitting to Continental style knitting, and I am still new to the new style. I saw this tool called a Yarn Guide at Herrschners.com. It's for keeping any type of yarn separate for fast, uniform stitching, so I figure it will help me keep the yarn on my left index finger, as I purl the stitches. Purling is the problem with me knitting Continental style right now until I get the hang of it.
I have a beautiful puppy name Dakota, and she's going to be 5 months on July 7th. I guess the heat got to her this week, as she wasn't feeling so good, and wouldn't eat, so hubby said to wet her down, and it worked! We have a happy puppy again. She is eating, playing, and just having a lot of puppy fun.

The book I was reading when I started this Blog was The Kissing Blade by Jessica Hall. It was a very good book, and the ending was a wonderful love story. I've started another book called Texas Rich by Fern Michaels. It too is a love story. It's set in WW ll time about a young girl meets older boy that is a pilot in the Navy. I'll let ya know what happens when I finish it.
I want to thank Melanie, Mandy, and Kim for their encouraging words for my efforts of starting my new Blog.
Happy Knitting & Reading!
