So
what does one write about after being on blogcation for quite some time?
What does one talk about after running away from home? I could simply
start from where I left off and methodically converse about each and
every thing that has been going on here in my Coming-Unravelled world
... ? Well, school is back in session...
No, I think
not. I don't want to bore you all to tears! ~ Let's simply begin with
today.
And this day
is brilliant. I absolutely adore autumn. I could live with cooler, crisp
and dry air like this for 10 1/2 months out of the year. The light
reflecting off of the now changing leaves paints a million different
colors to absorb. How can one help but be inspired?
I wish that
I could tell you that I have been knitting up a storm - but that would
not be factual. Yes, I have touched my needles, I have moved them from the sofa the floor and back to the table. I have started two Irish
Hiking Scarves. And, after three tries, I am now a member of the knit
along. Yippee! Accountability! My first two requests to join the
IHS knit-along ended up in the
spam folder. After writing my request from a different email address, my
letter was accepted and I am now a bona fide member!
Knitting -
am I speaking of knitting? I want to pass out my kindest thoughts to
these special knitting bloggers. You have been so kind to me while I
have been absent. Checking in here and there... or sending me a note.
Mostly, not leaving me for dead! Who would ever have thought that one
could develop friendships with others simply by sitting at the keyboard
and typing? Well, after all, I say to myself, that exactly what happened
with Kay and Anne from Mason-Dixon Kntting! The sky is the limit,
right??? Thank you to
Mrs. B,
to Lynne from
I was knit
together in my mother's womb,
to
Sylvia
(she doesn't knit but she wishes she could. .. I will
have to send her a few cloths), and to a newfound friend, Corinne at
Craftyloca
and to all you members of the academy. OK, let's not go
overboard. ~
So, here is
what I have been "not" working on...
I
can't believe that I couldn't even finish my row before I put this down! Bad
knitter! But what you see here is an in-process Accidental Bobble Cloth with 2
colors, a Grid dishcloth in Pink Lemonade and an Irish Hiking Scarf in wool -
I will have to check on that color way. It is not the best for a cable cloth
but I wanted to try it out. The yarn is Plymouth Yarns Gallaway ... and I can
see that I will need to be careful not to unintentionally felt it when I wash
it.
And, it's
Homecoming Week at my daughter's high school. She is a senior this year.
I woke up to find toilet paper covering our trees. Hmm... and I thought
that I was standing guard over our yard. They have gotten pretty sly
about their timing! Here is what my yard looks like AFTER I cleaned up
everything that I could reach.
I will write
more later - I will. I will! I should be quite rested, after all. ~
