It's been really quiet here

Good or bad, I'll be sure to post pics.

I'm taking two studio art classes--that takes a lot of time.

But I found some self-striping sock yarn that has a pattern for knitting
the
socks so the stripes go lengthwise, and I had to try that.
Unfortunately,
the instructions are in German, and my German isn't really up to reading
knitting patterns! Fortunately, someone has posted a translation on the
internet; it begins, "cast on 140 sts." Unfortunately, I knitted 3 rows
before I realized the socks are designed to have a garter stitch band
(that's ok) and a wrong-side stockinette leg. Phooey--I don't think that
displays the self-striping patterns to best advantage. So I ripped it
out,
revised the directions, and have now completed 2 rows. These socks may
not
get finished until close to Christmas at the rate I'm going...


But they sound interesting, Georgia. I'd like to see a picture of the
finished product.

Higs,

Hello Shillelagh,
I am still recover from the fusion of C3 & C4. I am doing great. I also
am working on a scarf, the Brooke's Column of Leaves.

What's that?

....

I do miss you all but the insurances and all are keeping me busy. The
bills are coming in from both of our stays in the hospitals. Thank God
for insurance, just wish you did not have to fight them to get the bills
paid.

Oh heavens! Reading that makes me thankful for our NHS - with all its
drawbacks!

I really miss hearing from Noreen and Don, I will give them a phone call.

Dennis, where ARE Noreen and Don? I have e-mailed her, but heard
nothing.

Sounds like it. Should have also been packed with cars 10 days ago.

HI Shelagh and Everyone,

I've been really busy with my boys and my teaching. Today as
Tropical Depression #10 passed through town, I spent 4 hours standing
in the rain on a soccer field. Can anyone say, YIPPEE!?

A few days ago I bought a book on felting called Heartfelt by Teresa
Searle. It's a wonderful book with great photos. I've made a couple
of fulled eyeglass cases from old sweaters. I'm loving this book and
the patterns.

Also, I'm on a stashbusting mission. I used up a lot of odds and ends
sock yarn to make baby socks and hats. Now, I'm working on a simple
2x2 ribbed scarf in leftover alpaca. Next, I'll make a cardi with
some felted merino I acquired at a salvage center several years ago.
That should last me a while.

Oh, as I mentioned previously, I'm in charge of the silent auction
class project for #1's second grade class. I will have to arrange
with the teacher to meet the class for 2 or 3 days to create that.

Lots to do, and loving it!

Hesira

Mirjam,

I don't know the appropriate salutation for Yom Kippur, but I am glad
to hear yours was peaceful. I am also glad to know why the synagogue
down the street was packed today. We were guessing a wedding, but you
have informed us otherwise.

Peace,

Hesira

Nice to hear from so many of you, and it sounds like you're all very very
busy. I have been too, but still like to check in here to read the posts.

DH & I had a beautiful day today - a friend gave us permission to cut down
standing dead trees for firewood from his tree line. We had plans to hook
up our utility trailer to our teeny truck, but wouldn't you know it -
problems. This would be the first time using the trailer with this truck,
and the 2" ball was too big. Even though the plate on the trailer calls for
a 2" ball. (sigh). So, guess I'll be picking up a 1 7/8" while in town next
week. So, off we went, making three trips, and getting some great, large
tree trunks that are beautifully dry and will burn well in the wood stove.
We plan to go again next Saturday, and this time, with the trailer, so
should be able to bring back way more wood, in fewer trips. The sun was
shining, the trees are changing colour, there was a nice breeze.... a great
day to be working outside.

Tomorrow we are off to a nearby town with my sister and her DH to attend a
fall supper. The supper for my own town is held on our Thanksgiving day
(Oct 8), which I really enjoy, because I get a great dinner, and no clean
up. What a great tradition!

I've been busy working on my Storm Water Shawl using Sea Silk, my Peacock
Feathers Shawl, using Knit Picks Shimmer, and two pairs of socks. Soon to
add another pair of socks on needles for a Christmas gift for my BIL. My
gifts (birthday & Christmas) for my sister are long done, and will do some
socks for my daughter, and maybe a pair of the Fibertrends Felted Clogs too.
I have a felted bag almost ready to send to a friend on the coast and
another one is ready to send to my Knitting Buddy Exchange partner in
Australia. Did I tell you all that she PHONED me last Saturday!! Now that
was fun and exciting too.

Have a lovely weekend everyone.

ignorance, Mirjam. I know Yom Kippur is a holy day, but does it require you
to restrict your normal activities? I'm just curious.

Yes it does , we are fasting, and many go to official prayers , and
many stay at home and just read what ever they feel suits the day ,,,
it is a day of self internal looking ,,, and the WHOLE country is
QUIET , only ambulances drive if needed.

We usually have 2 greetings ,, one says
Gmar Hatima Tova which litterrary means Good signing ,,, it has to do
with the Belief that this is the time God writes people`s Lot for next
year , deppending on their behaviour last year,,,
The sorry we can ask from GOD only aboy our relations with God. , if
we had bad words with a person we should ask his personal pardon .
2nd greeting would be have an Easy fast , as this time of year might
be very warm .
