WIPS on Vacation

So how many projects do you take on vacation? I took 2 pairs of socks, 2 shawls, and my Lanesplitter skirt.  I also brought yarn for possible 3 other projects...in addition to buying yarn while here....

I finished 1 shawl, renewed working on my Rainbow Wings. I needed to add another ball.  I am on the 7th wedge now...

I also worked on my Vanilla Latte socks, putting a couple inches on them..I have a couple more to go until the heel flap....the yarn is so squooshy, I can't wait to wear these!

I also worked on my dissertation for Nerd Wars, actually starting the project...the yarn is a bit rough, so I normally do 6-8 rows before taking a break.  But it is a pretty easy pattern..and I love the color changes....I'm already dreaming of wearing this to Rhinebeck with tights, ankle boots and awesome socks or legwarmers, depending on the weather...

Sorry the pictures are so dark, I took them at 11:00 at night....

I haven't read the past couple of days, but I did start a zombie book called, San Diego 2014, about a zombie outbreak at the 2014 Comic-Con.....since that Comic-Con is happening now...it's pretty timely...

Hooking up with Ginny

Remember I have a wee giveaway on Monday's post..

WIP Wednesday and Yarn Along

These two projects will possibly be FO's by Friday.  The blue afghan is for the Hubs and I'm so glad it is almost done...I am bordering it at the moment.  The Infinity Scarf has been featured here several times....I have 1.5 colors left to do..so again almost done...

I finished Sheepish and On A Highland Shore.  Loved Sheepish, really want to get her first book:  Hit By A Farm.....On A Highland Shore was also very good and I would like to read the next book, not sure if it is a series or just a sequel....

The House at Riverton by Kate Morton has been on my bookshelf for awhile.  I read her The Lost Garden.  It was one of the best books I read last year and I immediately went out and bought this book...then I got caught up the George RR Martin frenzy and put all other books aside....Although I have not finished the last Martin book, I figure there is no rush...it'll be years before the next is out...so onto other authors...and I saw another of her books the other day and almost purchased it, but figured I should read this one first...

As always head on over to Tami's Ami's for more WIP's, again I cannot link to the Yarn Over meme, but it is in my previous Wednesday posts...
