the north wind doth blow

 I do realize that in Arizona today it is over a hundred degrees again, and it is humid and raining in  Virginia , but the weather has shifted in the Midwest.
I finished knitting my 6ply socks and I had to put them on asap. My toes are freezing under the covers. I'm not turning  on the heat. I refuse

Below is a gorgeous brioche cowl that is a class at my lys. I love how the multi yarn works against the solid brown

Are you sensing a change in your wardrobe?

I've turned on the gas stove once but like you refuse to turn the hit on--aiming for 10/15 but I think it might be this weekend....

We have had the ac on for two days now. It's so humid it's unbearable. Now they are talking about a tropical storm heading our way for the weekend. Ugh...what happened to fall?

A couple of weeks ago the temperature dropped and it was downright cold. Snow fell in the mountains, and the wind blew all that cold air into the valley. I added a blanket to the bed and closed the window, but kept the heat off. I imagine in a couple of weeks, I'll be wearing socks full time but until then I'm toughing it out.

We are just starting to get the cool weather here in Ontario. It's mostly damp and rainy right now.

Oh Kathy, as usual you are spot on! Even here in SF we are having a weather change (at least for today). It's cool and gray and there has been a little rain/spit. My husband says the traffic on his side of the bay today is very confused, "What's this wet stuff falling from the sky? We haven't seen this in a long while!" It's a day for warm beverages and not flaking on my exercise to sit and knit ;)

we had some cool weather last week - especially in the evenings. Turned the air off. Rain came Sunday - the humidity is back with a vengeance - along with rain - and the a/c is back on....

It is actually going to be cooler in Texas starting tomorrow! I am so ready!

I haven't had any wardrobe changes for years. My style is stagnant. I truly need an update. Hmmm. Must think about that.

That cowl looks like a lot of work. I am into easy peasy right now. It will only be in the low 8-'s this weekend because the hurricane sucked the that and humidity out of the air! Hooray for hurricanes that come close, but not to close.
Hugs,

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...
