Its all true, the boogie girl is real, and you've found her. She knits, sews, spins, does pottery and writes it all down in this blog.

A place to knit
I've wanted a swing for years. Take a walk with me into my imagination..... The warm sun on my feet with shade over me, a margarita at my side, looking out over the yard and fields. The smell of nearby farm lands wafting in the warm summer breeze. The dogs will be happily running around sniffing unknown items and eating pieces of dead animals the cats have left in our yard. I'll sit in my spot happily swinging and knitting watching M fill her pants with sand in the sand box or try some strange maneuver on the swing set that is sure to cause a bruise or broken bone. Ahhh.... knit knit knit....swing swing swing.....It will all be so peaceful. I'll pretend that I won't even hear the kids from the new motocross course nearby. Come on over, we'll turn up the music and I'll have the margaritas ready.
The patio table is an extra huge bonus. The only table we currently have is a hand-me-down that I like but has been broken several times, is uneven and not really attractive in any sense of the word. Especially when you consider that the "matching" chairs are white plastic. The husbeast did good. In fact I should be working on his sweater right now.
I worked a bit on Kate and my shawl yesterday. I need a shawl for those cool nights out on the swing. We have a fireplace out there but its not near my swing. The logical person would move the swing, the knitter would knit a shawl. On that note, I'm off to knit. I hope its sunny where you are today.
