Let It Snow Man...

I spy an imposter...

1.  OK, so here we are and the weatherman says...7 degrees, but it feels like  - 3... YES IT DOES!

2.  I can only knit in the cold months.  It's weird but the first hot sunny day of May and the yarn and needles get put away.

Just a few goodies to keep us warm...

 And these are "tribbles" I knit from a pattern I found here by Cathy.

A green dish scrubbie for Nina and one for moi.

3.  I am gearing up for the Grow Your Blog Party with Vicki at 2 Bags Full starting late tonite....

4.  I have experienced some wonderful synchronicity moments just this week!  Yes, I am tuned in to the proper frequency for sure!

5.   I belong to a group of TALENTED CHICS... we call ourselves the Arty Tea Party.  And some of the gals will be introduced at the Grow Your Blog Party along with their talents.

Friday ramblings for Random 5 Friday with Nancy at A Rural Journal.

1.  Now that the hot days of summer are rolling quite nicely into this beautiful season of Autumn, it is time to get out the yarn and start knitting.  And I can knit a scarf a mile long...but nothing else!

2.  I am making my way through the giant bushel of apples that we picked last weekend.  Apple pie, apple crisp...haven't made it to the applesauce just yet.  And of course, everyone has one to munch on for an afternoon snack.

3.  My altered book Art Journal Hop is quite an undertaking with 10 participants.  Looks like we will be working through the winter to complete the project.  Sneak Peak here

4.  I think it's a grand day to be out and about to enjoy the beautiful views and terrific temps.  High 70's.  And it won't be like that for long!

5.  I am going to snap the changing progress of colors of this view of the ridge.  It won't be long now before the whole ridge is aflame with color.  And the air is crisp and clean! I love the fall and all of its beauty and bounty.  Get out there and enjoy it wherever you are!!!

During the winter months here in the northeast United States, I always have to knit something up to keep the cold at bay.  Of course while sitting in front of the piping hot woodstove.  In the past, it has always been long scarves to wrap and wrap...well they are actually verrrryyy long scarves, complete with long fringe, and you can wrap and wrap and wrap yourself up like a mummy they are soooo long.  I did say winter warmth, right?

When a friend asked me to try a cowl type or infinity scarf, a tubular job, for her son's girlfriend, I just couldn't stop.   She got one, the son's girlfriend got one, another friend is getting the one above for a surprise for her birthday...hope she isn't reading this before Sunday when the surprise party is...

The Headband is copied from one that my daughter bought in NYC some time ago.  She always looks so good in any type of head gear, so I thought I would give it a try.  It came out great, and you can actually wear it as a headband or pull down over your neck for a neckwarmer or cowl type scarf.
