I have decided that these last weeks of summer constitute the lazy days of summer.  The furious blooming and burgeoning of spring and early summer are past.  Tomatoes and pears swell slowly under a sun that is still hot and through days that are still long — there is no hurry, really.  Everything is a bit tired and a bit dry and saturated with the heat.  Me included.  I could happily sit on the deck and knit or read all day and ignore the state of the house inside!  

Today I resurrected my Color Blocks Puzzle Box project.  I am nearly done with my Aegean Q'mitl and I have this fantasy that I can finish the Color Blocks piece in time for our trip to New York City at the end of September.  Waking the project up was pretty easy — I find this is usually the case as long as we have parted on good terms.  It is rather straightforward lace-work and seed stitch.  Longish rows and smallish gauge — so it would be a great candidate for those all-day knitting marathons I am not actually going to get to do….

One of the advantages of that lazy hazy state of mind is that I don't fret if I don't seem to be making much progress.  So long rows of lace are just about right.
