Noro-vember?

Hello Everyone!  Well, here we are starting out the 11th month on an interesting note.  Last year I was part of Noro-vember.  I love knitting with Noro so much, I have pulled out some from my stash and will most certainly cast on a few things and knit to my hearts content.

I got a couple of skeins of Kureyon from a secret pal some time back – and I think I am going to knit myself a pair of socks from them.  A quick, easy knit and just in time for cold weather – so they will keep my toesies warm!  I also have some holiday knitting that I want to work on.  It will be a Noro-bember-ly delicious month!

So, the challenge for me this month is to have good content for NaBloPoMo – do I think I can do it?  Well, I will certainly give it a good try!

Things coming up for me this month – a plying class the weekend of the 17th.  I am eagerly awaiting this class.  EAGERLY!!  My wheel has become a much loved item in my home.  It is on the list for “If there was a fire, what would I take…. ”  What was I thinking, resisting the spinning bug for so long????  Sheer craziness I tell you. 

Last knit there was some Knitting with Grey’s though… I do enjoy that show.   Thursday nights are a good knit night – I did not get to my normal Knit Nite – Heidi and Sam both have some major tests at school today so there was lots of “quizzing” going on here last night.  This is, at times, a humbling experience…. sometimes I am amazed at how much I remember from school… other times, like last night – my brain is struggling with the “I am sure I never had this in high school” syndrome.  Yeah, last night I would not have disagreed with my kids had they said – “oh mom, you don’t know anything”.  Not that they ever say that outloud… but, you know they are soooo thinking it!

Well… I had better get moving.  Have a good day all… catch you tomorrow!

Hello Everyone – keep those kitty names coming – comments will be open until noon tomorrow!  The winner will be announced next week!  You have sent in some great names!! 

I have signed up for NaBloPoMo – that’s right – it is November!  If you hurry there will still be time to get in on the fun. 

Speaking of fun – I got my package from the lovely Leah!  Check this out – this month’s Secret Swap theme was “Take your pal to the movies”  and look were Leah is taking me!  The Prestige – hmmm, have not seen it!  Looks good!!  You will find me curled up this weekend watching this and knitting!  She included some other goodies in the package – a great little bag filled with Burt’s Bee’s treats, some amazing Green & Black’s Organic Bittersweet chocolate.  Ladies, this stuff has 70% cocoa content in it – that makes it heart healthy!  I love eating chocolate to lower my cholesterol!!  She also sent me some Organic Orville Redenbacher’s popcorn – wow, they make organic popcorn???  Who’d of thunk that you could get healthy with secret pal gifts?! 

She did not scrimp on the yarny goodies either!  Check this out…..

Rooks Farm Superwash wool/silk/viscose blend in a truly “Magic” colorway.  Very nice!

And, if that was not enough – she sent me a skein of Feece Artist – Spring Colorway.

Wow Leah, I love each and every thing you sent!  I will send you my movie review and let you know how I liked the film!

Hope your Halloween was safe and filled with fun!  Have a great evening everyone.
