That's me (and probably most of you) laughing at my July Knit List. As I said in the last post, I greatly underestimated how much summer would zap my knitting mojo. I also greatly underestimated the time I would need to spend on the second half of my Creating Web Pages II class - we've been covering things that are brand new to me. It's so much fun, but takes a lot more time. Another thing I didn't foresee was that I would join, and become totally enraptured with, Mystery Stole 3. I have to admit, when the knitting mojo does decide to make an appearance, MS3 is usually the project I pick up.
But enough excuses, let's see how I did:
Finish the Zephyr socks- DONE!!!- Finish the Seduction Socks - Nope, I don't even think I touched them at all.
- Finish Tahoe - I did manage to finish the left front. I still have to knit the right front and the sleeves.
- July Holiday Headstart project - I did work on these a lot, but they aren't quite done.
So, one out of four? Not so good. I'm going to take off the rose-colored glasses and be a little more honest with myself while coming up with my August Knit Goals. Here they are.- Finish my July Holiday Headstart project
- Knit a (quick!!) pair of Fetchings for my August Holiday Headstart project
- Finish Mystery Stole 3
- Finish the first Seduction Sock

I'm still on clue to of the MS3... oops. It requires contration and some unavailable non-interrupted knitting time.
It's summer... relax and enjoy yourself.
Well, 1 out of 4 is better than none! ;)
I've decided to give myself a break and stop feeling shi**y about all my unfinished knitting business!
Well, it is summah honey! Go easy on yourself.
Aren't you dishrag taggin too?
We started today! WHEEEEEE
I keep complusively buying yarn to start my holiday knitting but don't. Wha? It's too hot...yeah, that's it.
I always overestimate how much I'll want to knit in the summer. It's taking me months to do a dang pair of socks.
Oh, but one out of four is always better than none, don't you think? Summer just isn't the perfect time for knitting - just wait and see, as soon as it'll get a bit cooler outside, you'll be knitting up a storm again!
You've been busy don't be so hard on yourself!
Thanks for making sure my name got on the list! I appreciate it! My socks are done!
I think the knitting mojo has gone on vacation all over blogland.
Summer time is not for completing goals. You've still got a month to relax. :-)
I'm sure your knitting mojo will be back if full force once the weather starts gettig cool. So relax and enjoy the rest of summer.
I can't seem to finish anything either! This summer is just too much for me. I can't see to stop dyeing things and my children just want to go swimming all the time! I hear that the Mystery Stole is going to be lovely when it is done and that will be so cool to have, won't it? I'm wishing a little that I had done it, but I know that knitting lace during summer vacation and I do not mix!
Don't be too hard on yourself. You've got a lot on your plate right now.
You have compiled quite a list there. That is ok that you are behind on your projects...I have a stack of them! See, you are not alone in that! I hope that you are able to get through more of them this month. I will be sending those vibes your way. :-)
