It's Beginning to Look a Lot like .....Fall

 Do you have Affy Tapples By you?
Do you have your candy corn? 
The summer took so long to start, and the CUBS are in the playoffs so it feels like an odd Fall.

But
 WE'll take it!
Time to work on socks. 
This is the Knitting Fever replacement yarn. 
Nice warm socks coming... 
I've already knit a hat with the skein and I've enough left to make a pair of shorty socks. 
Thanks Katherine!!

We watched the Blood Moon turn red. 
Did you get a chance to see it? 
Arooooooooo!

I didn't see the blood moon but I got a wee peek at the eclipse before it was covered in clouds tonight.
Caramel apples and candy corn. Mmmm...I went on a fall scented candle jag today buying a bag in both Yankee Candle and Walmart. It's going to smell good in here tomorrow.

I did get to see the eclipse this morning but didn't see the moon turn red. I woke up at 3 am and it was still bright and glowing and full. Then my husband woke me up at 5 am to see the eclipse. I think it must turn red as the eclipse is starting. Lovely yarn you are working with. Have a great week.

Your sock is great - the stripes look fabulous on the cuff. Is it self-striping yarn?

No, I didn't see the red moon.

Hooray for the sock! Not hooray for my stinking Rays who are in LAST place!

I got to see various stages of the eclipse, but I never did see a red moon. It was white the whole time I was observing.

Nice sock, for sure, and it will be warm!

Oh yes, I love shorty socks. Yours are great colors! I've had candy corn for the last week and it has lasted. I'm so surprised! I'm even more surprised that the Cubs are in the playoffs. Go Cubs!

In 5th and 6th grade we bought affy tapples at school. Once a year fund raiser. It was my fave. I still buy only this brand.

The nearly Thousandth post Contest

(just another baby legging in the image. Using my socks yarns a little differently) I think that blogger may not have correctly counted all the posts I've written. I've been posting since 2004 so I guess it is possible. I'm not going to go back and count them all. It says this is post 987. So we'll go with it. Im having a little contest for the milestone, but I have had writer's block since I decided on the 1000th post contest. So to take the pressure off, we are just going to do this now. :) I get crazy with pressure around events of all kinds. I just do. To enter: Please please please only leave a comment about this post on this post. Im much too flakey to search around differnt posts, afterall there are nearly a thousand (did I mention that number already? sorry....) Leave a comment telling me anything about Lace. If you dn't know anything about Lace, ask someone and share their knowledge. Do tell us who gave you this lace advice, to make it f...

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
