    So pretty! Happy Valentine's Day!

    Our moment this week comes from the Valentine Tea that my daughters and I attended this past Saturday along with my mom. There was Valentine crafting, delicious food (English tea style) and some singing at the end! The minute I saw this picture of my mom at the Valentine table I knew it was "the one"!

    gorgeous rose--or flowers I should say from the last couple posts!!! And I think I would sit like a wide-eyed girl waiting to hear about the knit and crochet show!! oogle oogle drooool....Glad you had such a wonderful time with your family too :).

    and to answer your question about new book vs. new notebook and pen...I'd say they are an even tie :).

    ps. I stalled on my sweater with all the packing, not to mention I snapped one of my needles in half while pushing the stitches down! aaagggh!!! It took me an hour to save it, but I did. I found one mistake that I think I can fix when I start decreasing, but I tell ya, I don't think I can handle any more snapping needles lol!!

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).
