I think I need help..gulp!

Sunday:
Can't cook - it's too hot
Can't go out to play badminton - it's too hot
Can't sit in balcony , counting new leaves - it's too hot
Can't go out for a swim - it's too hot

Can sit inside with a ice-cold lime juice and a book. That I did. Then I realized something was missing in that book...so I did this:

Bookmark


bookmark

J was cleaning out the fish tank (we plan to sell it), and it brought back memories of my fishes, Ramu, Veeru and Chinna-swamy. So..ahem..I did this:

fish


I definitely am not going to graduate this fall if I keep doing this :(

Bookmark pattern : Knit one, Blog two
Fish pattern : Knit a little store

  3. I can't do any of that stuff either, It's too hot! And I can't even knit. I really wish you could teach me, did some in school and I remember enjoying it a lot.

  5. You know what you are suffering from?? Too good a husband syndrome!!! He cleaned up the tank while you were knitting??? Ok now to ur knitting thing....I think it's getting worse no? from hats to bookmarks to fish *shudder* ...what will be next??? Sakshi's portfolio??
    Waise I think the bookmark and ramaswamy will be a great accessory to gift wrap with the hat you made for me. I like Bargains and buy one get one free marketing u see....

  10. OMG, that bookmark is absolutely adorable! You won't even need to graduate the way you're going--check out this book called The Knitting Circle by Ann Hood (if you haven't already). You should start a knitting circle like that. I have been dreaming of being able to knit but my mum and gran have given up on me. :(

  20. I think the house is going to become very hot indoors as well by the amount of wool you are using these days. The bookmark is extremely pretty, loved it. Will all your books have different bookmarks??
