Happy 4th!!

Happy 4th Everyone!! Here it is raining and icky, but we are hoping that the weather clears for the BBQ and fireworks later.

Lets see yesterday I had to get bloodwork done (my normal monthly routine) and this time I made an appointment which according to the vampires reduces the wait. Ok now my normal wait is about an hour and a half, my reduce wait time turn out to be an hour and 25 minutes. Ummm ... yeah reduced wait my_______. Granted they did tell the truth but I do not consider 5 minutes a reduced wait. I did however finish 1 Just one Fix 2 sock. No picture though since well battery needs charging. I thought it would be great to not have to buy batteries but I have found that I forget to charge the batteries now. = P

I do have pictures of some of my summer stock up. You know if for some strange reason I run out of yarn. (not likely to happen for a few years if I ever stop buying more yarn)

Today's stash enhancement is brought to me by the Loopy Ewe.

I used Hiya Hiya for the first time on the Big Bad Baby Blanket. They are very close to being comparable to Addi Turbos. We are having *perfect* weather here, so I am spending most of the day in the yard. Hope the rain stops for your BBQ.

I LOVE the bag and the keychain!!! And the yarn,, of course, but I'm trying not to think about that (6 more months!).

And a big raspberry to the doctor's office! Why is their time any more important than yours????? I hope you had lots of knitting with you! Could a little lace bribery get you in faster...?

Wow, that is some awesome loot!!! Love the Malabrigo. ;)

That wait for blood work is ridiculous. And I agree, 5 minutes less is nothing.
