50 Things to Do This Summer

*Well summer is almost over and I am only halfway through! Some of these things have become impossible though due to #1 being pregnant, and #2 not going to the beach this year.

 I was reminding while reading another blog that back in college, I used to make up lists of things I wanted to accomplish. "50 things to do by graduation", "50 things to do this semester", and my very favorite "50 things to do this summer".

So I thought I'd bring it back. I have all kinds of plans of what I want to do with the boys in the next few months, and those who know me know I am the list making type! So here is my list of things I plan on doing by the end of the summer.

Rusted Rainbow socks

I've been slacking on the custom updates lately! Here is a pair or socks I am almost finished with. Hopefully Nathan will tell me where he put my sock blockers and I can take some FO pictures this weekend!

Goregous wool, for a good cause

Tonight, and for the next few days Western Sky Knits is hosting a fundraiser to raise some money for an online friend who has been dealing with many difficult health situations both her and her husband for the last few months. There are some great things being auctioned off, and all proceeds will go to Rachael and her family.

I'm joining in and offering Semi custom socks with Dashing Dachs "Dandelion Chain"

Silly Noah

It's here! Our beautiful set arrived yesterday and Noah promptly broke it in by playing outside on the patio with his brother. It could not be more perfect

A Blue Rainbow

Another custom with WSK "Blue Rainbow" colorway. It was giving me a bit of a hard time stacking at first, but I whipped them back into shape ;-) They have a fun little twisted cable down the side too!

Alleluia!

Happy Easter everyone! We had a wonderful Holy week and Easter with our families, and I promise some more posts about knitting soon! I started another little pair of shorties during car rides this weekend.

In the meantime here are a few Easter pictures!

Noah is going to be very Silly!

I am so excited! I have been in love with Silly Stripes since I first saw them, and FINALLY a pair is coming to live with me! With some {cake.} no less!

I hope Monica doesn't mind my borrowing her picture, but I just had to show off this gorgeousness that is on it's way to our house!
