Baby Shower

Some pictures of the baby shower (for our youngest daughter)...


It was a wonderful shower and she got lots of needed baby stuff.

Thank You Veterans

Today we honor our Veterans. Thank you for keeping us safe.

WedKnitTrio

The WedKnitTrio got together for a Thanksgiving lunch. I know, I know it's early but there is much going on this month and this Wed was it.

Our Thanksgiving lunch consisted of chicken and rice soup, cornbread, and pumpkin pie. Yum!!
We are thankful for friends and the time we can spend together.

"A Friend is someone who knows all about you and loves you anyway."

After lunch we had show and tell and then started working on our latest projects

Gina is working on a scrap afghan, using up bits and pieces of left over yarn.

What is this?! SueKnitWitty has started her second sock?! Yep, I got her started using the 9" circular Hiya Hiya. No more dpns for this sock knitter! Check out her WedKnitTrio blog here.
And here I am working on something green.
We had a nice day, chatting and knitting/crocheting. What stories we share!! of course what is said at WedKnitTrio stays with WedKnitTrio. (well... I think)

We want to wish everyone a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!

November...

...already?!

Where has the year gone? It has flown by! I had such plans lists of holiday gift knitting I'd be doing. (being a planner I have lots and lots of lists)

I will manage to get a few things done but not my entire list... and I will have to accept that fact and not stress. So, what I don't get done will be on the list for next year!!

I'm not complaining, just chatting about how fast the year flies by when you keep busy doing what you love. Yes, knitting.

And I get so easily sidetracked by all the pretty yarns out there. And patterns... did I mention the patterns? I have plenty of patterns I'd like to knit which in turn means I must might buy yarn. (I need to have the perfect right yarn for the pattern) I didn't mention books. Did I mention books?! Did you know there is a bazillion books (not to mention magazines, we won't even start on the magazines) out there about knitting, knitting gifts, yarn, knitting techniques... 'whew' ... which means there is a gazillion patterns out there!! and new ones are designed every day! I know, I have contributed to the pattern epidemic!

So my gift knitting list grows and grows and grows.

(Warning! you may not see many knitted items here over the next two months. 'cuz they are seecreet, shhhh!)

Happy Halloween

It's Halloween! It's Halloween!
The moon is full and bright
And we shall see what can't be seen
On any other night:

Skeletons and ghosts and ghouls,
Grinning goblins fighting duels,
Werewolves rising from their tombs,
Witches on their magic brooms.*
Witches Warts!! I forgot my magic broom. Did anyone bring their broom?!
Guess I'll have to Trick or Treat by foot...

Drat!! and double drat!! this was all I got in my Trick or Treat bag...
Unlike SueKnitWitchy... she got lots of yarny goodies! Check it out here.

Guess I'll have to settle for a few good Halloween jokes
Q. What do witches put on their hair?
A. Scare spray

Q. What do you get when you cross a vampire with a computer?
A. A know-it-all , that's really a pain in the neck

Q. Why didn't the skeleton cross the road?
A. He didn't have the guts

Hope your Halloween is fun and safe!
