In the midst of this sweltering heat, I am finishing up my chunky wool Montague Vest and I keep thinking about my trip to Maine and those cool breezes along the ocean where I walked every day:
I'm also starting to read this book called Maine by J. Courtney Sullivan about a family with three generations summering at their house in Cape Neddick:

Is anyone else a big fan of Gale Zucker's blog, she shoots sheep shots? Go check out her latest post on a road trip to Maine; what a great time she had! Gale is a professional photographer as well as a fellow knitter and her photos are wonderful of sheep and wool in Down East Maine as well as some great yard sale finds. Here's a picture of their camping spot:
Have a great Fourth everyone and stay cool! To see what other folks are working on, check out Work in Progress Wednesday.
oo I love how your vest is knitting up
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked that photo and thanks for the shout out to my blog. I'm going to post more Maine photos soon, too- I was on some blueberry barrens that were stunning.

Oh, now you are making me wish I was back in Maine again!! You were in Portland I take it? If not mistaken, that is the light house I see up there. I wanted to get to that one, but we were much too far north to drive down. More pictures please!
