Open Season

A fabulous gift from my best of knitting friends, Karen.





I wasn't really sure until I went for my walk this morning.  Pulled on my socks in preparation for the shoes and heading out the door, and then I knew.







There's something in the air lately that is whispering "yarn" and "sweaters."  You can hear it with only a minimal adjustment to your imagination.  As further confirmation, inspiration and a good pattern came together a couple of weeks ago when I started a small knitting project.  Yes, it's official.  Declaring open season for all knitters, timid or brave, beginning or advanced, wild or conservative--Things I get to do today.  Let the knitting begin!

  1. Knitting has fallen by the way side here. I love knitting and have plenty of yard for those coveted socks, but seems I can't get it the groove!! Love your socks.

    1. Everything in its own good time. When it's right, you get it all together.

  2. atta girl! something about cool weather that makes the idea of sitting with beautiful yarn, a new pattern (my failing! i should be pulling out those partially finished projects), sliced apples, hot tea or coffee at hand, music on, that says "knitting, knitting, knitting." you helped me last November/December, so now the beat goes on.

    hmmmmmm do those socks look familiar to me? or was it merely i thought i had but a deed i failed to do? love love love, karen

    2. And our rains started today--the perfect time for the apples, tea, music and yarn.

    3. oh yes! i failed to inspect closely! i think i purchased headache girl for myself; i'll have to look at that closely too! glad the rains started for you. we had a quite cool night, so i need to get flower pots in, the empty ones as well as the ones with plants in them, since i want their beauty to continue to grace my deck and patio.

      more later, lovely Handy Andy
