Good morning! How are you?

I am tired from the time change even though the time change was to my benefit. Sadly I am waking up at strange times and then having trouble going back to sleep. Also one of the many smoke alarms decided to chirp at 3:30 a.m. (grrr)

I have FIVE gnomes completed and would like to make two more. I had to take a knitting break yesterday due to hand and wrist pain as well as neck pain. Too much of a good thing ends up being a problem. I feel a lot better.

What are you working on this week?

    Your gnomes are adorable and they look so cute all lined up on the shelf! I hear ya when it comes to the hand, wrist and neck pain from too much of a good thing. I have to stay focused or it comes all too quickly. I'm glad you are feeling a lot better now.

    Your gnome horde is growing! (Take care of your hands and neck so you can knit more gnomes.)

    Your gnomes are just darling Karen! Some folks will be very happy to receive, I'm sure. Sorry about the wrist/hand/neck pain - hope that dissipates soon. Your smooke alarn mention reminds me that one was chirping at C&Ms the last time I was there...need to check that out!

    I love your gnomes! I'm tempted to make one too...
    I hope the pain goes away soon.

    I am having trouble sleeping also. I never usually have a problem with the time change. I hate when those smoke alarms chirp....usually overnight. Ours are hardwired, but have battery backup. We now use 10 year batteries which we had to change this Spring. Don't plan on being in this house 10 years from now. I love all those gnomes.

    The gnomes are delightful. Listening to your body and taking a break is so smart. I hope the rest of the gnomes fly off the needles.

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...

  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).
