I cast on for
Ene's Scarf (Ravelry link) last week. This is the first time I'm knitting a lace shawl from the outside in, so to speak. Casting on 375 stitches just about made me insane and the whole project seems so daunting. But then we discovered that the kids brought back lice from Norway. Thus began hours upon hours of combing hair and laundry.
As a pleasant summer break from the nit-picking, we drove out to the country to pick peaches. Then came the endless peeling, pitting, and canning that nearly put me over the edge.
Now, after 15 quarts of preserves and 2 lice-free girls, Ene's Scarf? Not so intimidating after all.

Ohhhh noooo!
What a bummer!
But at least you got the canning done, and your reward is some well deserved down time to knit.

Wow. Just when you think there are no more souvenirs to bring home. OY!

Getting those critters off the children is one thing, but what about the clothes? What a task. The peaches look delicious!
