It has been a while since I posted last! Things have been so busy. School is now in full swing which means so is the homework, soccer, and ice skating begins next weekend!
The leaves here where I live are changing and are an everpresent sign of changes to come. The weather is getting cooler (and the bees will be going away soon! YAHOO!) and it has been raining all day today.
My neighbor sold her house today and we will be sad to see her go. I hope she keeps in touch. She has been here ever since we moved in eleven years ago. I wish her the best of luck in her new location. While we are sad to see her go, we have new neighbors who seem nice and we welcome them to the neighborhood.
I have been busy busy busy knitting pumpkin hats and booties. Over the last few weeks we have welcomed 3 new great neices into our family, Kiera Rose, Kady Burgess Emma, and Ava Marie... all 3 beautiful healthy baby girls! So many babies to knit for!
I have also rented a shelf at a new shop in my town. It is a consignment shop for crafters called LANESBORO JUNCTION. It is on Route 7 in Lanesboro Massachusetts just past Bob's Country Kitchen on the left heading north towards Williamstown. It is a great little shop and I have sold quite a few things. (MORE KNITTING TO DO!! MY SHELF IS GETTING EMPTY! YAHOO!) If you are in the area or are going to be in the area during leaf peeping season please stop in! Its a great place to pick up some wonderful and unique gifts for the holidays (cookie cutter stores take warning!)
With the signs of fall just on the doorstep, so are all the beautiful new yarns for winter and the holidays! It is time to get started on that holiday knitting if you have not done so yet!
Usually I give you some links to save some money or to some terrific books or patterns. I don't have time to tonight. I will over the next couple of days so check back. I have to go and knit some more pumpkin hats. I sold some at work and I want to make some for my shelf at Lanesboro Junction.
If you are like me there is nothing like a handmade gift!
I also found some awesome new yarn for the Halloween Season from Bernat...it is actually GLOW IN THE DARK YARN! And believe it or not, it actually glows in the dark. I am going to finish up a hat this weekend and I will try to capture it on my digital camera for you to see! It is incredible! My kids cant wait to wear them...great idea for these dark nights of winter that lay ahead. Of course those of you that know me know that I like the cold weather because I really dont like the bugs of summer.... silly but that is the way I am and of course, being a knitter cold weather and wool just go together... you cant wear wool in 90 degree weather or at least comforably... :}
Well I am off for now. Check back for pics and links! Til then Happy Knitting and Happy Crafting
