WOW! Entry for November '08




Novembers WOW! entry is another skein of Opal Petticoat, this time colorway 1292.



This yarn will be knit into a pair of socks for me. It is the last pair of socks for the Sock A Month KAL. I can't believe I will have knitted a whole year's worth of socks.

I am going to use a simple garter rib pattern. Being that the holiday season is upon us, I think something simple and brainless is in order.

I took that walk I was thinking about on Thursday. I took the boys with me. It was so beautiful out, but a bit chilly. I walked 1.5 miles. My gimpy leg started hurting about a third into the walk, but I made it go anyway. Boy, was I sore the next morning, but very proud of myself.

The boys seemed to enjoy it. Tommy especially. I wish I could have just a quarter of his energy. Morgan started to give out about a quarter mile from home. I keep forgetting he's old. I picked him up and carried him for a bit so he could have a rest.

I made a peach pie yesterday. Mmmm, was it ever good. I used canned peaches. I've never really been one to used canned fruit for pies. Don't know why. It works great. I will have to do it more often.

It's Saturday today. I'm gonna be lazy and useless.

Have a great day.

  2. Hope you had success being lazy and useless Saturday. Sometimes life has other plans.

    I so enjoy my lazy Saturdays now that I'm retired. While I was working Saturday was the day I had time to survey how far behind I was with my housekeeping. Now I can survey it all week long and totally ignore it on Saturday.

    We have 2-3 inches of snow this morning. The beginning of the endless winter.
