Pictureless Post

My poor finished objects-- how do other people manage to take so many pictures once they have finished their knitted items? I am usually too tired of the darn things to bother! I got a bunch done lately; after some weird weeks where I was starting many, many things all at once, I decided to try to work my way through them one at a time to have some actual finished projects-- woo-hoo.

I finished the casual sweater from Classic Knits. It's possibly a little snug, but I think wearable.
It's difficult to make oneself keep such a warm sweater on long enough in August for more than a cursory glance in the mirror. Unfortunately I still have 5 more balls of Cork yarn to use up somehow. Any ideas? I also finished the Monkey Socks for my SIL. They are very pretty in the pink Koigu. I did only 4 repeats on the leg and like that length. I also liked the look of the twisted rib at the edge but it really doesn't have much stretchiness... And yesterday I finished the mittens from the Raumagarn pattern. I have to say I really do love these and am (almost) looking forward to the cold weather. Right now I am trying to chug away on the ribbed socks for my husband. I did find the ballband and they are from Misty Mountain Farms-- 100% superwash merino. It is very soft and pleasant to work with, although I do wish I liked the colors more. Mea culpa, I know, since I did pick it out myself, in person, no less! The first sock is almost to the tip of the toe, but I ran out of yarn and have to wait until I can scavenge yarn from the other (slightly larger) ball.

In non-knitting news, I am nearly walking! It will be so good for me and the kids to have me mobile again. I will start PT in a week and a half (please let me find someone good!). Maybe soon I will be able to do some normal fun summer activities. What a change that will be. It has been quite the dullest summer ever! Thank goodness I discovered knitting podcasts-- a whole new avenue for the children to make fun of me...

I am feeling pretty bad for the mourning dove we spotted in our yard today. It can't really walk-- it looks like it has something tangled around its feet or parts of its body. Unfortunately, in terms of our ability to catch it, it can still fly away, although not far, poor thing. Hopefully my husband or kids can trap it and we can cut off the offending article and it will be okay. We were able to free one of the birds that got caught in our deer netting around our garden last year. (I don't use that plastic netting any more for that reason.) If we can catch the dove but not get the tangle off, we should be able to bring it to our county wildlife rescue. We brought a gosling there last year that had been mauled by a dog or fox or something and I assume they took good care of it.
