Naturally Kim's Knitting - Episode 28 Partly Cloudy

Hello everyone,
Finished another Chemo Cap
I dubbed it my bumblebee hat, but my hubby has his own thoughts. He thinks it should be designated as danger - he thinks it looks like colors used to keep people out of areas. To each his own.

Anyway I am now going to continue with my show notes as I have not really finished any other objects to show.

August 4-10 Episode 26 - 80000 steps

O.k. so I am not used to making several entries in one week yet. However, this week was a slow one. Lots of knitting, lots of pilate's ball bouncing and the Olympics. 
I know that I talk about my grandchildren a lot, well here is a picture of my granddaughter in the latest top that I knit for her. It makes me feel so good when they want to wear clothes that I made for them. She doesn't look very happy here but it looks like she was working hard on her latest creation. 

Here are my show notes for the week:

Episode 25 - Whoo Hoo!

So I decided to pick up my There and Back Again Socks. I have been able to complete the heel and soon I will be creating the colorwork up the cuff. Still not my favorite socks but, after talking with my hubby. I think they will be for charity. 



Then I went out to the mailbox and I received not one but two things that I have been waiting for. My item that I need to begin my Portuguese Knitting Class on Craftsy and some beautiful sock yarn from Countess Ablaze.

Today I decided to work on Milkweed for a little while. I believe that I have completed an inch on the sweater and I still love it. 
Now on to the show notes
