Differences

What a difference a week makes - wow! Sun is shining, temp is going to 60ish, leaves are glowing and falling. Air is crisp - a beautiful fall day. Driving to work I had to make myself concentrate on the road. All I wanted to do was look at the landscape. Beautiful trees still have their leaves and the glowed with the sun blazing through them. Hard to believe a week ago I had to concentrate on the road through great big snowflakes!!! Had to gear up to knit by candlelight. Can you imagine how they did it in the olden days? Those pioneer women sure have my admiration.

So as I was driving I began to look at the color palate around me. Bright yelows, greens, oranges and even the duller browns of the leaves that were dead. What a rich arrangement we are given each year. Got any ideas yet? Need placemats for those Holiday meals? Now's the time to get ready. A warm cardi on these chilly mornings would be great to wear in place of a jacket or coat and probably more comfortable. Try a top-down so you have very little finishing and can wear almost immediately. Made in a chunky yarn, it knits up quickly. Am I tempting you? Good. Knitting or crocheting in the evenings or weekend afternoons is great relaxation after a stressful week.
It also will keep the chill off your legs!

Thanks to all who came to Knit & Chat last nite. We sure had a full house. Want to drop in next Friday nite? Bring a folding chair along. We frequently run out. maybe our author will be here next week and you can meet her.
