The Recipe for Success
There is much planning going on today at Casa delKatknits.
That means my week will be busy, but it will be so worth it come Thursday…
Be Still Sunday
I have been inspired to join the cool kids in NaBloPoMo. I know! What on earth am I thinking?!?
However, I think I have a good plan. I have put together a calendar of the month with a blog plan for the days.
What?!? A plan for your blog?
In any case, this will give me a good start on ending the year well and a good plan for beginning 2016, which sadly gets closer and closer with every passing day.
And, so it begins: Happy November 1st, Gentle Reader, and welcome to NaBloPoMo at Casa del KatKnits, and after a very busy Sunday morning I think it is time to be still and enjoy the quietness of what remains of the weekend with a bit of knitting and a movie. I hope your weekend was filled with a good balance of activity and stillness. If not, there is still some time to correct that before Monday arrives!
A Safari, a Greyhound, and a Grand baby
The end of July is upon us and that means I have some new things to share with you all!
My July Loopy Safari project was Thea Coleman’s Greyhound Shawl – I knit mine out of BMFA Socks that Rock and it turned out very well! I liked the pattern very much – it will be a welcome item come fall – just enough to keep the chill away with rich deep colors!
Spinning, knitting, entering contests, and birthdays…
I wanted to update you all with how the Romney plied up – as you can see, the result is as beautiful as the fiber I began with.
Drive Time
Hello everyone – Sam has 2 more days of driver’s training…2 more days! It will be nice to have this aspect of parenting completed! It has gotten easier with each child – so I am happy to be finished running back and forth to get him there at the various hours the driving school determined. I am quite sure that the driving school has no concept of time – the schedule has made working a challenge! But, as long as Sam passes his written test tomorrow – he will have his driving permit! Now, this is a very good thing – Sam driving equals knitting time for me!! Woo Hoo!
Speaking of knitting time, I have been working sporadically on Chapeau Marnier – I have about an inch to go before the decreases! I also have been working sporadically on my Monkey socks! I have to sit at a home for the Holland Parade of Homes for the next few nights – so my knitting time will increase hopefully! I will soon be posting completed objects!
I have also been working a bit on my package for my partner in Lynne’s Special Swap – June is gardening month and I have been finding fun things to put in my package. It will be ready to go by month end – a package filled with garden treasures!
How is your spring ending – summer officially starts tomorrow! What fun things do you have planned? I am going to San Diego in July for a few days – more on that later. I have never been to San Diego – any one know of any “knit spots” there?
Have a great Wednesday everyone – get out there and enjoy the weather!!
