Winter Storm at Dawn


Thankful for:

Snowfall 
My family
Starting new knitting projects
Black olives, perfect avocados, pickles (not together)
Coffee at the break of dawn
The silence you can hear when the day is peaceful



Hand written letters
Wool
Winding wool
Knitting wool
Writing



Outings with my husband
And my sister
And my kids


Friendships
Conversations
Happiness

I hope all of you had a wonderful thanksgiving if you celebrated 
What are you thankful for?

Have a lovely weekend!

    Such a beautiful post, Karen. My list echoes yours in most spots... though not the black olives. ;) That is the single food I just can't eat. LOL! I think I would be better off if the "won't eat list" were longer. Wishing you a wonderful weekend filled with the things you love... blessings ~ tanna

    Well, I am so happy to see at least one of us has snow! I wish a little of that would fall here.
    Glad you had a great Thanksgiving.

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! 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...

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).
