Should've Seen That Coming

We got back from camping on Wellsley Island late last Sunday night. Errands and all the minutiae necessary for our normal schedule consumed this last week. I ended up getting home at 10 or 11 almost every night, which meant no time or inclination for blogging.

I still have not finished Vova's Totem Pole Jacket because I ran out of white yarn. I thought I had just enough to finish the second sleeve and do the sewing up. Wrong. This cold, hard reality faced me as I was packing the car to go on vacation for nine days. The thought of no knitting for that length of time, which was intended specifically for things like knitting, started a small flurry of panic in me.

So, I grabbed 2-at-a-time-socks, my No. 2 circular needle, and two skeins of Sockotta in Navajo Sky. While we were on the road, I cast on the Belle Epoque socks with myself as the recipient.

I would write more, but I have to go wipe down the tents while we have a day of dry, sunny weather. In addition to picking up the dog and the other car, catching up on laundry and groceries, it's been rainy all week.
