Colorless
Thank you to everyone who left kind and encouraging comments on my previous post. They were not only appreciated but also cheered me up. : )
As promised, I have pictures of my recently completed socks. They were a test knit for Schrödinger, so I cannot share the details at this time.

I’ve been out of town, too busy, or too sick to knit very much. This past weekend, I read the last Harry Potter book, which was exactly what I hoped for, even if it made me weepy. Yesterday my job was terminated; I despise job-hunting and am not looking forward to it. A new pair of socks are nearly ready to leave the needles (pictures coming Friday). Forget July, I’m ready for August!

We’re in the middle of Harry Potter mania with the newly-released movie and the soon-to-be-released final volume. I enjoyed the Hogwarts Sock Swap and after much deliberation decided to sign up again for Hogwarts Sock SwapTWO. This time around, I’ll be a Second Year, and interestingly enough, I’ve been transferred into Slytherin House. (Silencio! No booing or hissing.)
This swap runs from August 1 to October 31. Rebecca Deputy Headmistress McGonagall has modified the swap objectives to keep things interesting.

I was so very surprised when I won another contest a couple weeks ago!

(A couple readers have expressed interest in the Sockamania Club Knitalong, which, up until now, has been closed to new members. The club has opened to new participants with a possible cap at 100. If you signup before the 10th, you can participate in the current July pattern-along and qualify for the monthly drawing if you finish before the deadline. Email signup and KAL details are on the club’s blog sidebar.)
My birthday was simple but lovely: quesadillas on the grill at my parents’ house, then gifts.
Being from a bookish family, I wasn’t surprised to receive some books,

I’ve decided a July list is just the thing to get myself back on track.

Owl Post made a delivery last week! I eagerly opened up the box from my Hogwarts Sock Swap pal Tanya to find several packages wrapped in purple and green, natch. These colors have nothing to do with Hogwarts, but happen to be one of my favorite color combinations. Which to open first??
