Well, it's summer break for this teacher! I guess I really needed time off because I haven't been writing or doing much of anything productive. I have been knitting, which is great. However, I do need to stop "chillaxing" so much and do different things during the day. My basic routine is to walk the dogs, have my necessary morning coffee, knit and watch some TV shows, and go to the gym a few times a week. At least I'm taking care of my body, right?

I started working on The Adagio Tunic Vest in late May. I love it. It's an easy pattern to follow with minimal seaming. However, I've since put it on hold to work on the craftsy.com knit-along. I'll write another post about that later. I have really enjoyed working on the vest. The yarn I used from knitpicks.com is the softest tweed that I have ever used. I'm really looking forward to wearing it this fall/winter. Living in the desert, I don't really need to knit items that are super warm, so I think I could wear this with a long-sleeve shirt underneath it and not even need a jacket for even the coldest weather here. Yes, you should be jealous...but not right now because it's been over 100 degrees for at least a week. That also makes it difficult to knit very warm things.
