Time Flies!

I can't believe it is the middle of August already!  School will be starting up soon (please don't mention that in front of my niece Megan, it causes her great distress!)  I think that it would be nice for Auntie Lisa to knit her up a nice poncho to cheer her up!  (Another "to do" project, just what I need)!  I have been knitting along on those chemo hats, and they are so cute!  They go very fast and are a lot of fun to make.  I will have a bagful of them soon to take to the oncology center.  I hope to have a new digital camera soon (hopefully within a week) to take pictures of all the hats before they go.  Just as soon as the hats are all done, I plan to start on a poncho for my niece and one for myself.  I am not sure what I will use for Megan's poncho, but I sure know what I will use for mine!  After seeing the poncho that Roxi made, I had a total fit!  I HAD to have it!!!!!  I emailed Roxi and ordered the poncho pattern and the yarn to make it from her store's website.  The yarn has been calling my name (Lisa....LISAAAAAAAAAAAA...............) ever since it arrived, and I won't be able to stand it much longer!  It is fabulous!  Again, pictures very soon, I hope!  I also had to get one of her adorable felted catnip mice for my kitties.  They have been rolling on it and batting it around having a very good time with it.  Thanks Roxi!  You can check out Roxi's blog, The Yarn Junkie (and a picture of that fabulous poncho -- scroll down to her "About Me" picture) on my links to the right.  There is only one fly in the ointment lately.  The Santa Fe Shawl.  It is still not done.  It did not turn out the way I expected colorwise, but it still deserves to be finished.  Who knows, maybe it will look much better after the beaded crochet trim is done.  Guilt is a powerful thing.  Sigh.
