Knitting & etc.

The weather is becoming more Autumnal.  Which lends itself nicely to knitting

Lion Brand yarn pattern 'Red Riding Hoods' Hooded Scarf' worked in Forest Green Wool-Ease.

The weather gets interesting in early Autumn, as well.

It doesn't show up near as bright as the sun was, when it rose Monday.  The colour was such an intense red that I thought a spotlight was on.

Just to the left of the bright red sunrise was this lovely rainbow.  10 minutes later, we got the shower that produced it.

That time of year

No longer late summer, but 'officially' Autumn. That means it's almost time for the Vixens'  October giveaway!   It's also that much closer to candy time :)

Stormy weather (Tuesday)

The storm clouds were moving quickly earlier this week.

And Sofi danced in my shoes :) 

Finally, it's beginning to feel like Autumn!

Which gives me thoughts of blackberries , plums , apples , & dulce de leche  (granted, *all* seasons are good seasons for dulce de leche).  So load up the supplies & make your kitchen smell all sorts of Autumn-y!

For those of us who enjoy our darker side & want to give her a reason to send out a darkest pox, might I suggest those who sell fake honey as the real thing? Be aware of what you buy......

Almost-wordless Wednesday on Wednesday!

My first attempts to knit in the round & add a buttonhole. One in blue, one in purple ('Gothic').  Just getting ready to start the edging & buttonhole.

Just a few

From 9/11...just a few.....Sirius            Porkchop             Apollo              Bear          Cowboy .
Of all those who worked the site, I've read that only Abby still lives.

What's on my mind

1)  language

2) blues & violets

3) The low pressure system moving in combined with grandchildrens' first colds of the season.....ugh!

4) The humidity is still at late summer levels & it's already 4 September.  This summer has been the most horrendous & I want it gone! A strong nor'easter blowing through would exorcise the stench of this summer quite nicely.
