Still slow knitting. It is going to be around for a while.

I finished a shawl! We even took it out for some beers. Shawls are really nice to have along in case the night turns colder while you're out. Living in a high desert area it is really likely. Part of the reason we love this area so much. Bright sunshine days that heat up and nice cool nights.

Burt and I decided it was so much fun knitting shawls and using up some of the stash, that we picked another one to make. 

No really that is his approving face. I swear.

I love how the colors are playing so nicely together, but that cast on edge was just too tight for me. So I pulled it all out and started over. Took three attempts to settle on something not too tight and not too loose. The perfect balance for this one is adding an extra yarn over on the right side and dropping it on the wrong side. 

Speaking of slowing down, Mellie had a bit of an upset stomach and did a dramatic barf over the stairs. It was truly impressive and neither of us woke up for it. Don't worry we cleaned it up and gave plenty of belly settling rubs. Mellie decided to apply Momma's lap directly to the belly to aid healing. 

Burt decided a bit of Momma lap goes along way in preventative health maintenance. 

 Guess we all need to slow down around here for a bit. Hope everyone takes time to allow for some healing.
