I'm starting the week off with a Zoom appearance on the FB group Cozies, Conversations and More. Just in time I'll have the cover of DANGER LOOMS to show off and announce it's on pre-sale. Doing thing on Zoom is great. No travel. There is just dealing with computer stuff to make sure it works. It's funny how easy its gotten to talk to a screen.
Looking back, the summer (at least measured by Jakey's vacation ) seems to have gone by fast. It's not terribly hot, but there is more humidity than usual which makes it uncomfortable. I am glad to see the Halloween stuff taking over the Costco aisles as it's a reminder that this soupy weather won't last forever.
It's also a reminder that I have to start on the next Crochet and Crumpet book which takes place around Halloween. I'll keep working on Molly's next adventure until the end of the month and then put it aside for awhile.
Meanwhile, I have to say the relaxing crochet I'm going to put in the book is working for me. I don't even mind having to unravel when I find a mistake since it is all about the relaxing quality of the crochet.

Hurray -- "Danger Looms" will soon be available for pre-ordering -- I'm looking forward to it.
This summer has gone by very quickly -- school starts on Monday for my grandson. Eons ago, when I was in school, it started the day after Labor Day and ended the first week in June.
It's been the typical hot summer here -- been up to 118 -- even with low humidity, that's miserably hot. This is monsoon season but so far, not much rain. There's been a lot of blowing dust -- I hose off my patio plants each morning and mud rolls off.
I'm working on a cross stitch pattern blanket using a beautiful aqua ombre yarn. I recently came across another ripple pattern that looks interesting -- the peaks and valleys are made without the usual crocheting stitches together -- looks good and is a one-row repeat that is easy to memorize. Most of the yarn I've ordered in the last few months is multi-colored or shades of one color -- works up beautifully.
My grandson texted me last night and wanted to know if I'd like to get a last-day-of-vacation hamburger lunch today -- so that's the plan.
Enjoy your relaxing crocheting, and ripping out as needed!!
