July Sweater Update

Eid came and went so fast, just as all the good times seem to. It is already two weeks past and we have settled back into the dull routine of the ordinary day-to-day life. But the people around us do not seem to have fathomed the fact. Our air-conditioner repair man took ten days to return from his eid break and fix our unit. Thankfully, a few rains in the meantime helped us manage without the AC.  Our broadband Internet slowed down before Eid and again it took nearly two weeks to get a response from the company. The solution they came up with, was to give us a new phone line and number. Now we have a changed phone number and no broadband  (not even the slower version). They promise to get to it "as soon as possible ". Meanwhile I am raking up charges on my mobile Internet.

Other than that, life is quite usual. Kids have three more weeks of summer vacation and are finishing up their vacation homework.  I still have to do the post about the Eid clothes but I am waiting for cooler weather to get some outdoor pictures. It has been quite hot to knit without the AC but I hope to resume work on the July sweater tomorrow,  in shaa Allah. Here is how far along I am. Just an inch short of starting the neckline shaping.

I did manage some more sewing but it was mostly sleepwear for the kids, nothing bloggable. Hopefully, less internet will mean quite a bit more knitting/sewing/reading time.
