I just never seem to have enough time lately to do all that I want to do. I always start stressing myself out around this time of year. The holidays are coming soon and I keep thinking I have lots of time. I did finish 5 pair of socks and 4 booga bags. I ran out yesterday and bought some yarn to finish up the next booga bag. I also started a pair of socks for my dad. He is always complaining his feet are cold so I thought it would be a great gift for him. I am also working on the "Breeze" socks. Yes, I thought I would try to finish them up as they are so pretty. I started them a few weeks ago and then set them aside to work on my other socks. I was reading Tina's blog and love the felted wine bag so now I have the urge to try that. I have a cousin who would just flip for it.
On the home front...we are planning our vacation. We start it on Sept 30th and we are going to take our camping gear and head out. We have decided to start with Cathedral Gorge and work our way up to Pioche NV. Very secluded and out of the city. We went through our things yesterday to see what we needed to repair or replace and everything is in great condition. We use to camp most weekends when we lived on the East coast but haven't been able to do any camping here in the last three years. We are both looking so forward to it. I am planning on which knitting projects to take along with a book to read and hubby is looking forward to taking his telescopes out in the desert. Of course yesterday we had to sit in the truck and figure just how to pack his telescopes with the camping gear so that they don't get damaged. We are both getting antsy now to get going.
Happy knitting everyone.

I wish I was getting ready to head out on vacation instead of already home. I hope you have a great time and get to get lots of knitting done! I'm so impressed with how much you've already gotten done!
So happy to hear you have finished so many pairs of socks! That's wonderful. I have been in over my head doing major work here at the house and traveling so I haven't had the time to blog yet. I am just glad to hear you have figured out the YO twice thing. Back to work now. Take care and have a great trip camping!!
I'm going to post the pattern I used for that Wine bottle bag/cozy tomorrow afternoon! Thanks so much for the nice comments about it! I wanted to check with the lady who translated it for me before I posted it, to make sure it was alright with her, and she said it was fine. I think they will make great gifts, too, and they are a fun and quick knit!
Oh, that trip y'all are going to take sounds like so much fun! Camping and traveling, I'm getting jealous! Make sure you pack a camera and tell us all about it when you get back!
Have a wonderful time camping. There never seems to be enough time to do everything that we would like.
