Cranky Pants
I'm in love with Misti Alpaca cotton and silk.
This is my new Trap main color way.
I believe they've discontinued it, however.
I'll have to scoop up as much as I can at Three Bags Full.
(There is a new post up at the Studio's blog.

The post is about preventing hand/wrist pain while knitting. )
Yesterday I dropped an empty wine bottle on the kitchen tile.
Glass shattered and shards went everywhere.
When are they going to make wine in a plastic bottle?
I'm just not safe with glass.
Anyhow, I cleaned the dangerous mess and in doing so
got a shard in my foot.
(I was wearing sandals…..)
We couldn't get the darn little painful shard out with tweezers.
So I read online that you should put superglue on the area and let it dry. You then peel it off and the shard will come out. It worked like a charm.
Sadly, for me this meant I had to keep stepping yesterday and couldn't take a pity day off.
My friend Rita has this cat and angel in her yard.
I need one…..
Table for two anyone?
Pie is so much browner than Beatles.
Can you see the big difference?
Finally, I think middle age has got the best of me.
I'm so uncomfortable in the humidity and heat now.
I used to love these mid summer days and now I'm kind of a cranky pants. I'm more of a cranky pants when I have the a/c on inside. I feel so confined without the open windows. So, I take cool showers. I take short car rides with the a/c blasting.
I stand in front of the fan.
Anything you can suggest?

The cats' Table For Two is purrrfect for a warm summer's day. Cute picture. And yes, I can really see the difference in the color of their coats. I thought Pie was black.
I wish I had a fabulous solution for the heat and humidity in the midwest...but beyond what you're already doing...I've got nothin'. An iced drink in front of the AC with a "cool" knitting project...perhaps with a friend for some good conversation...is about the best.
Love the photo of Pie & Beatles. Yes,their coloring is distinctive with them side by side.
The heat in Colorado was pretty brutal, especially while climbing mountain roads. But at least there were no mosquitoes.
Are your cats Burmese? We used to have a Burmese who looked black but was really a very dark brown.
P.S. I took plenty of yarn on our trip but did very little with it. :)
I love how your two kitties are different shades of black. Very sweet.
I have had glass shards stuck in my foot twice this summer. I am absolutely in love with this bit of advice.
And per usual, your knitting looks fabulous.
It sounds like you need to start buying your wine in a box. I love that super glue trick. We are always digging glass out of someone around here. I'll have to try it.
My coping technique --- drink plenty of ice cold water.
Hugs,
Meredith
When we're running, we're reminded to splash the back of our necks, even if we're not hot. Do you own any of the cooling scarves?
