At the moment, I am enjoying a much needed vacation from work. I took last week and this week off, and I have been taking several daytrips around Virginia. During one of those daytrips, I went to this little knitting store in downtown historic Charlottesville called The Needle Lady. There was so much gorgeous yarn there! I happened to spot this one particular yarn called India by Lana Grossa in an absolutely gorgeous color! The color number is 9, and it is a breathtaking combination of reds and oranges. It reminds me of a sunset. I am trying to add pictures to this entry, but apparently AOL's "You Have Pictures" is having issues! I will get the pictures added as soon as it will let me.
I have several projects on needles at this time. For me, this is the beginning of the busiest knitting season. I am not a fan of the hot and humid summer conditions here, so when the weather is too miserable to be outside, I like to start knitting for the fall and winter in the cool and comfortable air conditioning. I do the least knitting in the spring and early summer when the weather is so gorgeous that I just can't stand to be inside. But for right now, and for the next 2 months or so, my knitting needles will be busy! I am still knitting chemo caps, and I have started several new scarves. I want to knit my niece Megan a belt and a super skinny scarf, but I have not found exactly the right yarn that I want yet. The search continues! I will add the pictures of all the new yarns and projects as soon as I can get them on here.
I also took that other Bob Ross painting class and will add that picture to the album, also. We painted a beautiful waterfall scene. I am giving this painting away as a birthday present for a dear friend. More on that later.
