Week 30 (July 23rd - July 29th) | Picture 45

I am officially in a photography rut. I don't think about taking pictures for days at a time, and when I do, it's just to try to capture my son doing something cute. (Which inevitably stops happening as soon as he sees the camera.)

I'm going to try to find something fun to photograph this upcoming week.

In the meantime, I have plenty of other projects to keep me busy. I have two parenting books to read, and lots of crocheting to do. And since it takes me forever to finish my crochet projects, I figure that if I start working on a blanket for my son now when it's 105 degrees outside, that it might be done in time for Winter. We shall see.

But I also have this skein of beautiful merino wool I bought a few months ago. I loved it and it was a slightly impulsive purchase. I want to make something for myself, but I don't know what. I have a million hats. I don't know that one skein is enough for a scarf (although for the right pattern, I'm not opposed to buying a few more skeins). I just can't figure out what to do with it . . .
