to knitting with aran weight yarn on the beach is to work your sweater in pieces. Then nothing's too big on the lap. Also helps if you're beginning a front on a cardigan, so it's small and narrow! I spent a few hours with the left front here (and chatting) in the sun and sand, and then retired to this grassy shady section for a bit. It was pretty perfect - and I'm almost to the armholes.

If only I had a cold, frosty beer with me.

The other night we had an end of school party in the same location and I brought something hugely yummy to share. It's based on a drink called a greyhound, and it's an amazing summer beach option. I put it in a big pitcher thingy, so forgive the amounts here.

One gallon container of Simply Grapefruit juice.
8 oz vodka (1 oz per person)
a few glugs of triple sec
sliced and squeezed 3 limes.

I shared with the other parents and they all agreed it was a keeper.

Summer's officially begun!
