Howdy, howdy, howdy!*

*Whoever can tell me who said this, and in what film, gets a skein of Cherry Tree Hill supersock merino yarn in the Monet colourway - no fooling!

busy, busy, busy here, finishing projects - the red Lake Placid Pullover for Artisan Knitworks, the brown frilled shrug for Cindy at Apple Laine (both of which I forgot to photograph before mailing), a Rowan sweater for my LYS (and thanks to Wannietta, I know exactly how many ends I wove in here - a f*&ktillion)Rowan sweater for Spunoh, the ends....

working on projects - a Louisa Harding wrap Louisa Harding wrapand a brown silk/cashmere scarf for the store (the yardage on this scarf yarn is incredible - it will not end!!), my entry for Sock Wars Sock Wars weapon(still not done, but plugging away);

and chomping at the bit to start new ones - a Wonderful Wallaby for my niece who is having a birthday soon, and just too many other things for me. I am still hyperventilating at the number of projects I want to make, and am totally surprised by my inability to make a decision.



Oh, well, it's a moot point for now anyhow...



I did see the Red Frilled Shrug I made on Cindy's website, fabulousfrillshrug1which thrilled me no end!



The boys and I were LOVING the 80 degree weather on the weekend - we went to a pumpkin farm on Sunday the hunt is on!- did the hay ride to a 4-acre corn maze, did a little potato chucking, potato chuckingthen onto the pumpkin patch itself, where we picked our favourites mission accomplishedand toted them back to the van, only to find that we had been blocked in by a not-too-intelligent, way-too-enthusiastic parking attendant - 20 minutes of backing and forthing on a steep grassy hill and we were out of there relatively unscathed... not happy, but unscathed...



New sock club stuff came this week - I love sock clubs, it's almost like free sock yarn because it's already been paid for, and you never know what's coming, and as we all know, sock yarns don't count as stash...

STR, in a gorgeous colour and great pattern, and the coolest extras that scared the hell out of me when I opened the envelope and they fell outeeewww - spiders!!

and from Make 1 Yarns, which I am totally in love with - the colours, the pattern - just love this oneP1000941

After our wonderfully warm Sunday and Monday, we had some nasty cold rain, and it is now officially fall. I am always sad to see the end of summer - shorts and bare feet, vacation - but am slowly getting my head around the change... this helpshoney locust in the front, but it's still slow...

when next we meet, I'll tell you about what I've found in my quest to organize...

It's All About Perspective...

I will do a proper post soon, when I can get pictures and appropriate - maybe even coherent? - words together, but in the meantime, this must be seen to be believed...

My guilt has dissolved... completely...
