Snow Snow Snow

Today is the Yarn Along with Ginny at Small Things.  I have diligently been working on my Calendar scarf and I'm on day eight.  My phase of making mistakes seems to be a thing of the past.  I have been on a winning streak with no ripping out rows.  Also on Sunday at my Sit and Knit I worked on the Seamless Hybrid sweater.  It was the perfect project to work on because I have no problem talking and knitting in stockinette :D



Isn't Frodo so funny?  He is the nosiest dog we have ever owned.  He has to see what everyone is doing in the house.  Anyways, I am still reading Fannie Flagg's Daisy Fay and the Miracle Man.  I have not read as much as I wanted to this week but next week looks promising because everyone will be back at school and I will not be distracted.  I also have been leafing through Knitted Gifts that I received as a present from my sister.  The projects are lovely!

We had four-five inches of snow fall last night. I snapped some photos this morning while getting the paper.

    aaaw Frodo is so cute! - and what a funny name for dog!
    I wanted to start the seamless Hybrid sweater for a long time...do you know if there's a pattern for this online which would be free?
    good luck with your projects :)
    and oh! I'm so jealous you have snow! - it's been raining here for 2 days and all our snow is gone :(

    That's so funny about Frodo! My dog Mia wouldn't get out of the pictures today either!

    Your knitting is lovely. I love the shades of blue. We had our first real snow today - 14 inches. It was lovely.

    Blessings, Elizabeth

My weekend happily contained: -wearing the above woolens all at the same time without being hot -so many walks and taking in the changing leaves. -a leaf shower on Saturday-the wind swirled the leaves off the trees up in the air to float down -changing screen savers to autumn themes! -a craft fair where my husband and I say "we could make that", but we don't. -french fries at the craft fair -scrambled eggs and toast for dinner because we were lazy. -football season has descended in my house. he was in the front room watching whatever is on today -I sat in the family room and watched A Tree Grows in Brooklyn .   Now I want to read it again. -Oh! I finished the socks!! So I wound up about six skeins of yarn and have three projects ready -started a cowl for me in fall colors (I hope to finish before fall ends) -enjoying Spirits of Joy .  Hannah graciously had a one day free sign up for her birthday at the end of September which I luckily saw on Twitter.  Than...

  Good morning! How are you? How was your weekend? I had a great weekend but I didn't take any great photos. I've been wrapping presents a little bit each day instead of doing it all in one massive long day. This has made a difference in my joy as I wrap. Do you wrap all at once? Or do you do a little bit at a time? Miss Holly has been finding the sun spots and getting her 'tan' going. She is a sweetie. I have no idea what she is watching outside that window. She does that every day. My guess is probably birds or chipmunks but chipmunks should be resting now that it's super cold outside. Sadly I did not take any photos of my knitting, but I have been knitting! I continue to work on my husband's hat and I ripped out a pair of mitts I started (couldn't see the dark yarn with cabling) and started a much simpler pattern instead. Sunday was church then the laundry. I am getting excited for the upcoming holidays. The kids are coming back with the grandchildren and...
