This is the first time that I'm officially participating in Tami's WIP Wednesday. Last week was all about the dishcloths , this weeks focus is socks . The deadline for the next shipment to The Warm Hands Network is September and I haven't completed nearly as many knitted items as I'd hoped to . The summer is just whipping by so I'd better get a move on .
As for the Yarn Along , another first for me , I've started reading Shanghai Girls by Lisa See . This book has been on my shelf for what seems like forever , every previous attempt at reading it ended with my putting it aside . For whatever reason the story and the characters didn't capture me at the time . This time I've perservered and it's growing on me . I'm a firm believer in there being a right and a wrong time to be reading a book . If I'm not enjoying it , it's back to the shelf for a later date , maybe. Life's too short ...

That is one happy baby!
Your socks look a little bit like the ones I'm knitting.
Today's my first time on the WIP Wednesdays too! Officially at least.
I hear you about the Warm Hands timing; I better get moving on some socks too!
Sweet baby--such fun they add to our lives. I agree with you about the books and timing thing. I have run across the same situation over the years. I loved Shanghai Girls, but was taken aback by the ending until I found out there was a sequel to come--which is now out on shelves and happens to be sitting on my nightstand, waiting for that perfect time to be picked up and read!

I LOVE your socks.
All that talk about swimming has made me even more upset that we are slap bang in the middle of winter and it won't be for about another 2 months that we get to do that again. Anyway we will push through!
