    We seemed to have slipped back to summer with 80+ degrees. The trees are not happy

    My weekend was pancakes and knitting and catching up with some friends. I am enjoying working on my first sweater of the season. Which pattern are you using for your gnomes?

    Your weekend sounds very productive. No snow in the forecast here yet, but that is only a matter of time - at least I hope so. We need the moisture. Our weekend was super busy, as I posted about. I sometimes need another weekend just to recover from the weekend. I love your fun gnomes, and that you are already making holiday plans. I hope you have an enjoyable week.

    A perfect fall weekend! Are you really hearing SNOW already?? I'm jealous! It's just starting to get chilly here. I'm ready for the cold (I know I'm in the minority here...lol).

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 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).
