Summertime Knitting

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.
