Trashy iced tea mix.
Anyone know a good cocktail that uses this stuff? I have such vivid memories of my Mom drinking it in the 70s, and I've grown up to love it too. Only in summer, and only from the big round can with the plastic top. Lots of ice. Her other drink was Tab, but I don't ever see that in the store - do they make it anymore?
Summer does not mean sweater vests knit out of bulky yarn, but I'm ignoring that until I finish this guy. Luckily it's not too hot around here yet, and the Chamonix is lovely, so I don't want to put it down. It's pretty light for a bulky - not too drapey or heavy.

And as the pile on my knees has begun to make some sense (see below), this pattern is pretty habit forming. I'm thinking it might be turning out OK. I've made a number of mods to the pattern, but for a change I'm keeping track and will add them to my Ravelry details if anyone wants to see them.
In other knitting news, my Nantucket Red test knitters are finally getting to the finish - at least a few are..., and coupled with the original comments, I'm feeling good about the pattern's readiness for the world at large. I have already added the current batch of edits and am pretty confident it will be posted within the week. So, stay tuned, and thanks for your patience!
I've also started drawings and math on three design projects for fall. (3 since at least one is bound to be an unmitigated failure and I don't know yet which. I'm playing the odds.) After a trip to WEBS this weekend, I'm thinking I'll be casting on for at least one of 'em. We'll see which I find the yarn for.
I've promised myself I'll stay ahead of the timeline this summer and get something posted in time for early fall knitting. We'll see about that too, since 4 weeks in Denmark this summer might put a little damper on the knitting time. We're off to visit family and looking forward to a nice long trip far away during the hot hot days of July and Aug. I think we might actually have timed it to miss the entire greenhead season! Kind of a bonus.
But more importantly, what are the chances any of you know a good LYS near Copenhagen??
