Ah, July.  What were you, three days long?

Seriously, though, that was a quick month.  I guess I kept busy.

I hit all of my goals this month (if we can ignore the lack of finished pictures for Wrapid, that is).  I've been keeping up with the clues (we're on clue six as of today!) and I haven't even thought about the languishing WIPs!  And I didn't buy yarn.

I've been working on Walter's poncho all month (when not doing MKAL clues) and it's almost done - less than twenty looooooong rounds to go.  I think I'll have to start the next mobile knitting project this weekend, as the poncho is definitely beyond that!

August goals:

1.  Finish the poncho and the MKAL.

2.  Start a packing list for the Montreal trip at the end of the month.

3.  Don't buy yarn unless it's in Montreal.

4.  Survive August.

Too fast, August, too fast.  We arrived home last night after a day of travelling by train.  I miss Montreal, but most of my regret is due to the rain that prevented me from walking around and taking pictures of the architecture.  I'll gather some of the pictures I did take and do another post for the trip.

I didn't buy yarn!  That might have been due partially to the rain, but also due to timing.  I didn't want to drag the others over to a store to look around and be bored.  Maybe next time.

The MKAL is over and I still have to take glamour shots of the finished product, but it was lovely!  I enjoyed every clue.

September goals:

1.  Finish the gloves that were started on the trip.

2.  Continue to cold-sheep.

3.  Update the MKAL project with final pictures.
