It's so exciting! I can't wait to get out of the house for a little bit. We don't have too much to get together yet, but I still feel like we're going to end up forgetting something. We'll be using the pop-up, which sadly has no toilet. (AHHHHH!) I have no problem using an outhouse...It's the nasty people that leave it all gross with you-know-what all over the place!
That's not the real problem though...
I CAN'T TAKE MY KNITTING ALONG!!!! The shawl that I was so passionately working on can't be completed, because my knitting needles aren't long enough to hold all of the stitches. I have to wait until we get back from camping to get the needles that I need. So that project is set aside for the time being and a new project was started just last Saturday. Well that isn't fitting on the needles that I have for that! I even stooped to knitting it with all five of my DPNs. I felt like I could cry! I don't think that I've ever been able to feel this passionately about something so simple.
My husband says that he can see it now; That I'm going to be unbearable to live with until we can get to the yarn store to get the things that I need. I would love to get more yarn too. I plan to get a circular needle set too. One week is such a short time, but it seems like forever when you're really waiting for something.
We're going to have so much fun camping though. I know that I'll be able to find something to keep myself busy even though I won't have my obsession to keep myself busy. Last year they had a clown there for the kids, and my oldest, Todd, and I both had fun just riding the trolley back and forth. I also love watching my husband riding the tractors around. He likes pulling us on the wagon sometimes, but I don't think that we'll be going up the huge hill to the museum this year. It was too much work for our little turd tractor that we took to the tractor show last year. We all love watching the tractor pulls, and I will get to show of my onbuhimo baby carrier, with it's awesome green and yellow (Gotta have my John Deere colors!).
This whole next week will probably be spent trying to find something that I might possibly be able to knit that weekend. The only needles that I have that are not currently "in use" are my size 7 needles, but now I just need to figure out to do with the yarn that I have....
