a little catching-up post of the quotidian kind.
listen / do you want to know a secret / do you promise not to tell ~ The Beatles (and me, but I’m not telling)
sharing the reading love, plus a dash of yarn
A WiP post…
Should auld acquaintance be forgot / And never brought to mind? / Should auld acquaintance be forgot / And auld lang syne!
good thing she’s smaller than me, or I might not be able to give away this sweater….
” Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people’s hats off—then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can.” — Herman Melville
the skies aren’t sunny, but at least this project is!
and with this, I bid you adieu for the day! enjoy your saturday, y’all -
another one bites the dust! Two Amy Herzog sweaters in about 6 weeks’ time. Pret-ty, pret-ty, pret-ty good.
this may signal a shift from knitting to non-knitting posts……there’s a lot of interesting stuff coming up!
this’ll be the last WiP shot for my newest sweater: next stop, FO!
lots of making in my household lately. and making = happy.
The falling leaves / Drift by the window / The autumn leaves / All red and gold
I see your lips / The summer kisses / The sunburned hands / I used to hold.
Since you went away / The days grow long… / And soon I’ll hear / Old winter songs
But I miss you most of all / My darling, when autumn leaves start to fall…
i don’t usually do WiP Wednesdays, but I’m in a rush and this was easy!

good grief. two stitches forward and three rows back.
man. I don’t know what to do here. I want them both, I want them all, I want more time, I want more hands. Help?
such a thrill to be able to knit and read at the same time!
like Van Morrison says: Put a smile on my face, get back in the human race, on a golden autumn day.
busy, busy, busy. getting shit done. my kind of gorgeous day!

nah nah nah nah nah nah — they say it’s my birthday (eve) — well happy birthday (eve) to ya (me). never mind. Eat cake!!

“There is no season when such pleasant and sunny spots may be lighted on, and produce so pleasant an effect on the feelings, as now in October.” ~Nathaniel Hawthorne
living out of a suitcase and feeling pretty happy about it!

so long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, good night / I hate to go and leave this pretty sight.
*tink, tink, tink, tink, tink, tink, tink*. repeat dozens of times.
there’s very little as nice as knitting that’s working out as you hoped.
Where did Hitler keep his armies? IN HIS SLEEVIES! hahahaha….kindergarten jokes never get old.
Never EVER underestimate the power of a nice apology. You’ll win friends and admirers.
Oops!…I did it again / I played with your heart, got lost in the game / Oh baby, baby / Oops!…You think I’m in love / That I’m sent from above / I’m not that innocent [of resisting buying MORE yarn.]
I have a finished object! Doing the happy dance — it fits!
