Unfortunately, knitting-related activities have taken a back seat to hurricane season.  We live in an area affected by hurricane Ike but far enough away that we don’t have the flooding from the storm surges.  We have been blessed to have our power back on after being off for only a matter of hours.  So many friends and family aren’t so lucky.  We were able to bring my elderly grandparents over here until their power came back on.   The power company and other emergency responders are doing a fantastic job of restoring as much of the millions of customers’ power as they can as quickly as they can.  They were poised and ready before the storm made landfall.  In fact, our power went out and was restored before the rain even came.  It went out again in the midst of the worst part of the storm and was restored again the next day. 

I’m kind of a mother-hen type and have spent time checking in on friends and family who don’t have power yet.  So knitting isn’t getting done nor other knitting-related activities.  Thank you to any readers who are bearing with me.  I hope to post more on knitting soon and hope you will check back again soon.
