I took several knitting wips to the cabin along with some reading and some writing and some work but in the end my brain shut down and all I worked on was this mitered squares blanket. Totally mindless. The Grand Pooh-Bah wasn't any better. Verna and Jillian came up to spend a night with us and we had one energetic morning walking around town and swinging Jill in swings and hammocks. Otherwise the week was: lying in the hot tub watching the hawk circle above us and thinking that we better move lest he think that we were lunch; looking out the windows at the deer that surrounded the cabin and talking about Hitchcock"s "The Birds"; whenever the electricity went off, we took it as a sign that it was time to take a nap. Why is it that those commercials for the premium cable channels (HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, etc) always look so interesting but when we are actually in a place that offers those channels there's never anything interesting on?

WOW Mary!!
What a great start on another sock yarn blanket!! You are going to town! You must be a very fast knitter! It looks wonderful.
I cannot even finish a pair of socks and you are halfway done with another blanket. I am envious. I did not get as much knitting done on the "not" break that you had on your break. Next year I need to go away like you and BP-B did this year. I did put all my sock yarn that I can get to easily into an EXCEL spreadsheet, so I know I have PLENTY of yarn to make a blanket just not the motivation at the moment. Off to finish/work on one of my many UFO or WIPs, which ever way you want to look at it.

Your mitered square stamina is amazing! It's gorgeous.
I want the name of that cabin! A hot tub? Oh my!! A break sounds good . . . . see you soon! Lea-Ann
