YARN ALONG

The days may not be so
bright and balmy—yet
the quiet and melancholy
that linger around them
is fraught with glory.
Over everything connected
with autumn there lingers
some golden spell—some
unseen influence that
penetrates the soul with
its mysterious power.

It has been a very good

knitting week here in my

home.  I finished my

Sunday Sweater for the

wee one and I love it,

most important, so does

the she. Although I wasn't

able to finish it while she

was here [for about 24

hours] the wee one did

try it on to check the length

and proclaimed it a 

'Beautiful Bluebird Sweater'

so that is what I am

going to call this one.

Thanks Ginny, it was really

a pleasure to knit. Want to

make one in adult size? ;)

 

I was also able to cast off

a fun little beanie that really

is too big for my head, but

I am still going to wear it.

I like that the ribbon can be

changed to match whatever

I have on that day and if

I'm having a bad hair day

I can tuck all of my hair

up.

 

I am still hard at work on

my third Annabel . I have

split for the sleeves so now

it is just miles and miles

of mindless garter stitch,

then only four more to go

to make my Christmas goal.

 

I attended the Friends of

the Library sale a few weeks

ago and came across Nora Ephron's

book, I Feel Bad About My Neck

for only a dollar. While looking

for a link I just saw that Nora

passed away this past June so I

am kind of speechless. While I

didn't know her in person, after

reading her words I really got

to like her, anyone that can

make me laugh out loud

while I am reading is someone

I would love to know in real life.

 

I am joining with Ginny for

this week's Yarn Along.

What have you been up

to this week?

 

Much love,

Tracey
