Gloomy Day

We had two weeks or so of hot weather, and then it got all grey. Not cold, still warm, not raining, just gloomy. Yuck. Now it's depressing and grey out but you still get sweaty if you walk across the street! Gross.

I finished one of my mom's socks. It's beautiful and it fits my foot perfectly, but I have my dad's narrow feet. My mom and brother have wider feet, so I'm kind of worried that it won't fit as well. I'm sure it'll stretch, I just hope it doesn't look wacky. It is quite beautiful for a sock though, all lacy and blue. If she doesn't want to wear it, she can just look at it.

The scarf for my boss is going slowly. It is daunting because it is my first project that is completely lace. Not solid with lace sections, but all lace. It's lovely, but slow. I'm also concerned that when I finally finish it, I will want to keep it, seeing as it is my first lace project. Maybe I should think of something else to knit my boss; something quicker and slightly less precious. Hmmm.

I'm going to start reading Wuthering Heights today. I've read many 19th century novels, but somehow I managed to never read that one. Very strange. Anyway I'm looking forward to starting it. I'm taking next week off, so lots of time to read and knit. And maybe there will be some sun too, so I can look a little less pasty white for Karen's wedding in August.

Not much else to say. Bad cramps today. Sort of a blah day all things considered. Maybe tomorrow will be more interesting.
