Behaving Like Animals
Why is it we hoard in the wake of a storm. On our recent snowy day I raced around buying up the town in a such frenzy a squirrel would be proud. Today upon hearing of an impending storm, here I am again, I just finished "stocking up". Don't ask me what I bought because most of it I can't justify. Hmmm a new turkey platter, now that will come in handy when the power goes off.
Meeting of the Minds
I love this coffee shop! There is a meeting of the minds in one corner talking wind farms, the life of Jesus and salmon fishing. Another table playing a civilized game of crib and I'm knitting a shrug of many colors, which I'm frogging for the third time. Who needs TV.
On Knitting
My friend sent me this:
"In knitting as in life, we grow when we challenge ourselves. The concentration required to learn a new stitch or technique is good for both our hands and our brains."

Annabella's Cowl
When I was thinking about a gift for my Aunt D, I couldn't resist a piece everyone in my knitting group has knit and loved. I've just started Annabella's Cowl by Annabella Serra. I chose Hand Maiden's Sea Silk 70% silk blend with a strand of Rowan's Kidsilk haze Mohair/silk blend, for warmth, it's in it's infancy and already looks great. It won't be finished for Christmas, so I decided to blog my progress, so she can see her gift growing as she waits. I'm putting lots of love in this one as I go. So stay tuned...
