I packed a bag of supplies (bug spray, long sleeve layer, headphones, several books, and, it turns out, not my knitting), swung by the farmers market for snacks, and took myself up to the park. I did not grab my chair because I had a plan &#8212; I was going to use our hammock.<\/p>\n<p>Last summer, I&#8217;d tried to use our hammock at the park, but couldn&#8217;t find trees that were close enough for the length of straps we have. However, I hadn&#8217;t given any thought a handful of smaller trees by the fence, and this summer I have seen several people with hammocks using them. Today was my day.<\/p>\n<p>First, I pulled out Eoin Colfer&#8217;s <em>Highfire<\/em>. It started with a chapter about an anti-social dragon, which boded particularly well, but then switched focus to a teen boy and then a crooked cop. I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;ll be great when they all get on the same page, but until then I just wanted more dragon.<\/p>\n<p>So I switched to <em>The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise<\/em> by Dan Gemeinhart. I think this middle-grade novel might be the next right read.<\/p>\n<p>On the knitting front, my sock hasn&#8217;t had a lot of work done on it this week, but I will wrap it up in the next few days. (See forgetting to pack it above.) The Tour de France kicks off next weekend, so I&#8217;d like to go in with a recent FO under my belt. I haven&#8217;t decided what I&#8217;d like to knit, but I do think it will be a fresh cast-on, rather than the resumption of a project. I&#8217;m looking forward to it.<\/p>\n<p>Head over to <a href=\"http:\/\/askatknits.com\/2020\/08\/19\/unraveled-wednesday-8-19-20\/\">As Kat Knits<\/a> to see what others have been reading and crafting lately!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had the afternoon off today and swore to myself that I would not work for any of it.
