Time doesn't stop for me

So many things have happened since my last post. First and foremost, we are moving on September 4th!!! Our house has been inspected, appraised, and repaired. Closing has been moved back and forth, and we still are not sure if it will be the 27th or the 1st. But one thing we do know, the movers are booked for the the 4th...no turning back now! This whole process has been an emotional roller coaster for my husband and myself. We stuck to our guns during negotiations and our expectations, and it worked out for the best in the end.

On the knitting front...well...the Traveling Woman shawl has been put in time out and boxed up for the move. But don't be sad, I started and completed the Citron. Thankfully an awesome friend, Jana, has stepped up to the plate to block my little creation, since I have absolutely no time. Once I get it back, I will be sure to post pictures and talk about the project.

Now, time for more boxes and bed :D

Another hot day

The past few weeks have been filled with hot air and humidity. One would think that this hot spell has to end at some point. Sadly, it is only going to get worse before it gets better. At least it was very pleasant over the holiday weekend, and only reached the mid to high 80's - what perfect timing!

On the house hunting front, we had seen quite a few that caught our eye. We made our first offer on a home, that didn't pan out the way we thought it should, so now we our on round 2. We did get to learn the ropes of making an offer (ie: the untold VA funding fee; closing costs; home warranties; etc) and feel pretty confident about this round. We should hopefully hear back this evening.

On the knitting front, I have been working on The Traveling Woman Shawl still. I started this just before I left for Ohio and I am almost done with my 4th repeat of chart A, then I will only have to do chart B and bind off. I am actually excited about blocking this...yeah, you heard right, excited, go figure.
