Crazy from the heat

wow! It has really been hot here this week! Over 30 Celc. every day and really humid -- we don't usually get that sort of heat in Nova Scotia (on Wednesday night it was 84 Far. in our house at suppertime!). I guess Summer is FINALLY here! I will blame it on the heat (because to put the blame where it really lies is ... well ... not a good thing for me!) or perhaps an overindulgence in caffeine, but I was up last night knitting until 3 a.m.. Needless to say, I got a lot done on the Booga Bag (only the i-cord left to do when I went to bed). Around 2 a.m, Crazed Knitter decided that having a bag that was only Too Teal would be boring, so all of a sudden, it was topped with Paprika -- it has a real Arizona feel to it now (I am glad that Crazed Knitter doesn't like boring!)

I had been out for coffee with 2 friends who I don't get together with as often as I should (or as often as I'd like to!) for coffee until 9:30 p.m. It may have been the 2 XLarge Tim Horton's that took me over the edge of reasonable knitting and plunged me into the Crazed Knitter's time zone! Anyhow, the Booga is looking good, and decided that , straps or not, it wanted a garden tour before being felted ... you know, sort of a trip back to its homeland. So I indulged it.

While at coffee, one of my friends commented on my Booga bag. I told her I could teach her to make one, but she declined the offer. She remarked on it about 3 times after that ... finally, I clued in and asked if she would like me to make her one. She was quite happy about that ... and this morning, we went to the lys and selected some Patons SWS in Natural Blue. Once I get some housework done, I will cast on for her bag.
