Or the date on the calendar....
Kids around here seem to think it's time for FALL!
and after game hugs...
But to me, it nearly feels...
like Christmas!
(US) 5 (3.75mm) tips came for my Addi Click needle sets....
Books that have been on pre-order and back order, have come in this week! Alice Starmore's Book of Fair Isle Knitting, Elizabeth Zimmermann's A-B-C SJ from Schoolhouse press #5, Kyler's Kardigan from Cottage Creations (thanks to Major Knitter's 'obsession' with knitting more sweaters that she had time for...ahahaha..)and another Sirdar pattern book for babies- Little Stars in Stripes.....
The August Dishcloth swap from Ravelry's Dishcloths R Us arrived from Barb in Florida...
aren't they pretty! Such yummy colors, makes me want some swirled ice cream every time I look at them! But the patterns are really neat, too. Isn't it fun to get something that's been knitted - just for you? After all the things I've knit for others, it's rare, without being in a swap, I get presents knitted for me.
And then...from Canada, my good friend Norma found the King Cole pattern I could find here for me! And then send me the latest Creative Knitting Magazine, too! What a great surprise!
and now that I've had the cyst drained yesterday...
I can finish the baby blanket and...
...the baby hats I started at the game today, so I can get the rest of the to-do list finished.
After all, I have a lot of new ideas ready to burst forth after opening all those packages!
In the meantime, I got my 'regular' flu shot today...when are you getting yours?
Did you know you can now order the downloadable copy of the calendar as of today? http://www.dishclothcalendar.com/ is where you need to head if you don't have a copy ordered yet! I don't have mine yet, in hand, and I just KNOW my to-do list is going to get even longer when it arrives!
