lifelong knitter

Socktober knitting is complete!

Just under the wire...

SAFF was FABULOUS!

Good friends, Socktober Knitting, and lots of Fiber FUN!

Looking forward...

To a lovely, relaxing weekend

filled with Knitting!

Packing now for SAFF....

or as it is known around these parts,

The SHEEP Show!

Hope to finish my Socktober socks

there!

Distraction

To keep myself from boiling over with FURY at the idea that Ms. Palin *knows more about, and can advocate for* my children more than most Americans....

Don't get me started. Plenty of people have blogged intelligently about the matter.

Go visit Sara and follow her excellent linkage.

This is NOT a political blog, and I have kept quiet about all manner of things that

annoy me, choosing to knit on and hope for a regime change....

I'm so excited about THESE.

Yes, they are only available for pre-order,

but a knitter can DREAM, right?

Sally Melville is coming to town!

December 5-7...details here.

I am SO excited!

Maybe I will FINALLY make that Einstein coat

after all!

Needed to get away for a few days...
relaxing in the NC Mountains
admiring the GORGEOUS Fall Colors
almost finished with sock #1.

For Diane

My dear friend lost her sister to cancer.
When she went to Hospice by the sea,
I started the Morning Surf scarf,
and prayed for this wonderful family.
Today, as the funeral began, I took this
picture and then sent it off by UPS.
I wish I could have been there by your side, dear friend.
Know that I am certainly there in spirit,
as always.

Happy Socktober!

Loving this option on flickr....I'm at a conference about cellulosic ethanol. Grant proposals to turn hybrid trees into fuel for hybrid cars. I'm a little bored as I know a lot more about this than people think...so I'm Looking Very Busy with my laptop....heh.
