This summer was when I started to knit. I went on vacation to LBI with my Aunt Janice and cousin Juli. This is when the sock adventure began! We got the yarn at this little knitting shop on the island known as Island knits. The yarn is called sockotta. We also bought the tiniest needles I had ever seen in my life. After a lot of yelling and ripping and starting over again we sorta got the hang of it! We knitted when we woke up, before we went to bed, and sometimes even during the day. Besides knitting we spent our time gettin henna tattoe's, goin to Bay Village, going to the arcades at Fantasy Island( we won amazing prizes!!), lots of food, and plenty of time in the sun! During all this we were very fashionable!
This summer brought yet another interesting knitting experience. Knitting by Candlelight. The power went out one night when we were visiting Aunt Janice and Juli in PA. They were terrified cause the last time the power went out it was out for days and was torterous, I however thought it was an adventure and a fun one at that. Me and Juli were concentrating on our knitting so hard that a little loss of power could not stop us. We got a whole bunch of candles, lit them, and bgean to knit again. It was a little difficult so we decided to go to the nearest Barnes and Noble and knit in the air conditioned cafe until the power came back on! It was a fun filled day!

Thank God for you guys! I would never have made it through that horrendous summer...
In the end I have to admit it really was fun, you guys are amazing -- the way you picked up knitting and ran with it.......right now I am in a real blue funk--the blankie I made is just no good for gifting.....The baby is due any day....I am SO upset. I'll show you what went wrong when you come.
Lets hope we can have as much fun this summer-but without the drama! Love, Aunt Janice
Wow, hahah I never really got a chance to look at all of those pictures. I can't wait to hang out with you guys a ton this summer, it'll be even better than the last!
