Scenic Overlook and a Winner


Yesterday's post did not say where the photo was.......oops!  So I thought I would share the rest of the photos.  We stopped at this PA welcome center on the way home and took photos of the scenic overlook!  We have driven past this center countless of times, never stopping.  I am so glad that we did because the view was amazing.


One thing I love about Pennsylvania is the mountains (or hills), trees, and many rivers and streams.  This view would be even better in the fall.


I am sure you are wondering who the winner is of the stitch markers..well I am happy to announce that the winner through a random number generator is:


Tanna at The Brick Street Bungalow who said:
"Oh, drats... I was so hoping for those bananas!! hee hee. The stitch markers your sister made are beautiful!! And I LOVE your new header!!! That shawl is simply drool-worthy. beautiful!!! blessings ~ tanna"

Congratulations Tanna, please email me your address and I'll ship them out this week :)

    Sometimes stop pig at those spots brings such unexpected surprises. It is beautiful now and will be even more so in the fall (IMO)

    WOOO HOOO!! I am so excited!! Melissa, on Ravelry sent a message that I was the lucky one and I had to dash off Ravelry to blogland to see! Thank you so much, Karen. I will treasure these and think of you fondly when I knit (which you know is frequently!). blessings and thank you. tanna

    What a lovely view. I have driven through Pennsylvania many times on our way to Myrtle Beach, it is a lovely drive. Next time I will have to stop and take in some of those views.

    I love PA. It's just north of us and I keep threatening to move up there after the girls get older. Little cabin in the woods and all. Lovely view!

Weekends

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!

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

Knitting News

  Good morning to you! How are you? I'm excited about my hat that I've been knitting enjoying the sea of stockinette stitches. When I first started the hat I thought it would be too small, now I wonder if it will be too big. Gah. I will find out soon I guess. I wish the photo about showed how beautiful the colors are in real life, you'll have to trust me on this! Below is my next knitting project, the habitation throw . I will definitely use the pink and gray, I'm still not sure about that purple, I might have a look-see in my stash and do another ponder about that color. I chose this pattern because I can use up some of my stash and I adore Helen Stewart's patterns. What are you working on this week? Also: I will probably not be posting this Friday and the following Monday because of my family visiting. I hope to be back next Wednesday (unless I change my mind).
