Campfire Knitting

I just got back from a wonderful camping trip in the Adirondacks. We had such a great time.  I casted on a Nymphalidea Shawl using my handspun Loop Bull's Eye Bump and my handspun cormo from Reflections of Roclan's. I purchased both of the fibers at the Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival. I am heavily modifying the shawl pattern. I love how the Loop Bump is self striping and I am adjusting the wedges to really show off the color changes. I love it so far.

And for new pattern release info I have finished the Treasure Cardigan Pattern! I am planning on releasing both the Treasure Vest & Treasure Cardigan before September 1st! Sorry the picture isn't clear.... you'll have to wait for the formal release to get the good pictures. Unless you saw me in Lake George with past week wearing it. Then maybe you got a sneak peek!

Joining Ginny's Yarn Along

For reading I am listening to the last book in the Outlander Series. I am going to be sooooo sad when I finish this book. I am not sure how I am going to cope :( 

Busy

We have been extra busy these days. We are adjusting to school. Which by the way the boys love school!

 

We are looking into getting a puppy! We get to meet her on Thursday. Hopefully she passes her vet check and she is as sweet in person as she is in pictures. 

 

I haven't taken many pictures lately, but I just wanted to say a quick hello to everyone.

 

We went out to Hersey PA this past weekend for the RV show. We went in at least 100 travel trailers and fifth wheels. We didn't buy one, but we have decided what we are going to get. We are looking forward to lots of camping in our new camper (when we buy one) and traveling with our new puppy so we can do stuff like this....

 

a random video from our camping trip to Lake George from August.

 

 

Lake George

We just got home from an amazing camping trip in Lake George NY.  We camped out at Lake George Escape. Our friends the "G" family stayed at the campground too. So our boys were very happy to have their friends to play with.  We also visited friends of ours at their cabin on Brant Lake.  I took hundreds of pictures and I have many posts to make about our trip, but I couldn't help but upload a little taste of what we have been up to the past week.  All these photos are straight out of my camera and no editing. So you might see them appear in later posts after editing. We had so much fun and I just couldn't wait to share them. Enjoy (sorry this is a long one).

 

Can you see the tubes in the picture above? Our campground was alongside the Scroon River.  There were lots of lazy river tube rides.

 

 

 

A night out at Lake George Village. 

Eating ice cream in the Adirondacks in Adirondack chairs. What could be better than that?!

Starry nights over our campsite. We were lucky to be there during a meteor shower!!!

 

We went hiking on lots of rocks, caves and waterfalls.

The Rodeo my favorite!

It was our friend's first time at the rodeo I am so glad they loved it. Since I was the one that really wanted to go. We all enjoyed it so much.

Chilling at the cabin.



 

Isn't the view fantastic! 

 

Back at Lake George for more fun.

 

 

The sunset from our campground.

Back to Brant Lake.



 

I got to spend hours rocking on this porch swing knitting my Quill. It was heavenly.  

 

Kayaking at our campground. It is so nice camping on a river!

 

We rented a pontoon boat and headed out on Lake George for the day.

 

Everyone took a dip in the Lake (except me). Someone had to stay with the boat right? Also that water was cold. 

 

So there is a little taste of our trip. We had such an amazing time.
