There is no doubt that this is shaping up to be an excellent summer. Just a few days after our camping trip I was headed back up to the shores of Lake Huron (though not so far north as Georgian Bay) for a cottage weekend. An old friend of mine is getting married and in lieu of a bar hopping bachelorette we spent a weekend away (and on the beach). The weather was perfect, and the water is warm enough for swimming, and it was gorgeous.
I knit in the car on the way there, which ended up being hilarious in the stop-and-go traffic since a guy in the lane next to us was fascinated by what I was doing. He stared and, when his lane got moving, actually slowed down so we could catch up! He seemed completely entertained by the idea of someone knitting (or, at least the idea of someone his own age knitting). His amusement entertained us as well, which made for a pretty funny drive. I snuck in a little beach knitting too, and my Summer Skyp socks are coming along nicely. I’m staying home this weekend, but I’m looking forward to turning my attention to Halligarth, which is proving to be a very enjoyable knit, especially when accompanied by a podcast or audiobook.

Beautiful!
Wow, I am knitting the exact same socks right now, in the exact same yarn and colour way. Great minds must think alike.
What are the odds!? 🙂 I was so surprised to see the way the colours striped up. I hope I can get the second one to match.
Gorgeous beachiness and pretty socks!
I do love that yarn. It seems like the perfect summer color.
Too bad there isn’t a picture of the guy who was fascinated by the knitting. Did you guys try to talk to him?
What a great idea to go backside for a bachelorette party. Loved the driving lane story.
So jealous of your vacay spots! Knitting in paradise.
Gorgeous view! Am glad you are getting a chance to relax this summer! Also, love the stitch pattern on those socks!
That looks so fun!
Such a funny story about the guy in the traffic watching your knitting! 😛
