Time for a well-deserved break for everyone around here.
Since you might be in the same boat, you'll need a drink to see you through, right? This is one of my all-time warm weather faves. I made them yesterday when a friend came to pick up her daughter from our house, so I even have a brand new photo of them for you!It's called a Susie Taylor (Not sure why, but it is - according to Mr. Boston.)
Susie Taylor
2 oz dark rum
ginger ale
one lime - sliced and squeezed in
ice cubes
It's simple and perfect. Trust me on this.

I'll be checking out for a few days, back later next week. I may or may not have computer access after Saturday, so if you are looking for me in regards to a pattern question, it could be a few days before you hear back.
While I'm gone, I'm plan to take a knitting break as well. Of sorts.
I'm going to follow directions for a change! One of the biggest problems with all this design stuff is that I never get to knit the other amazing patterns out there. But I have a queue, yes I do. And on it are a number of things I'm dying to get to. Two of those things are now packed up and ready to hop in the car with us.
The first is Gudrun Johnston's Aestlight Shawl. I love this pattern and have been coveting it for some time now. See Jess's in green? It's amazing. I started one back at SPA, out of a deep purple vareigated yarn, and I plan on finishing it now. It should be done by New Jersey.
The second is really exciting -and it'll keep me busy the rest of the trip. It's a gorgeous slouchy, wear-everywhere pattern designed by my talented internet friend Hilary.
It's called the Lilas Cardigan. and I had to have it the minute I saw it. So I used my wiley charms on her and managed to get an early copy of the pattern for my trip. Yep, now I'm the test knitter for a change. Well, kinda. She knows better than to rely on me and also has a tech editor who will not be drinking and also not be on vacation. Smart girl, that Yarniad.

Upon my return, I'm going to get right back to work. I plan to finish up the pattern on Cherry Vanilla and get it up on Ravelry. ASAP. Promise.
