Welcome! I've in the process of updating this here blog color scheme. I hope you find the colors and the layout a lot more soothing and relaxing. I know I do!
Its time to start thinking about harvest goodies like Pumpkins and Pumpkin Latte's and Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins and Pumpkin Cheesecake and Pumpkin Scones....I'm feeling a little pumpkin spicy here. :-) Ohhhh, almost forgot my favorite....Pumpkin Pancakes at IHOP!
But where did summer go? What did I do this year? I better post a couple of pictures so I remember it for something...In July we were biking on the Munger Trail heading south out of Duluth....

In August we spent a weekend at my friend Kim's parents' cabin up in the Lakes District not too far from Mille Lacs. The cabin is on Clear Lake and it is evident by the first picture that we did not get much rain in central or northern Minnesota this year.
I did get a bit of knitting done at the cabin and was able to finish the raglan sweater at home in early September. Its too big...Weight Watchers works!
And the best FO of the season was those darn Travelers Stockings! Word of advice: Never, ever knit red sock yarn on red or magenta size #00 dpns. Unless you really feel like punishing yourself that way. But hurray! they are finished!
I bought myself some Paulaner Oktoberfest and plan to celebrate the end of this project! I now have some simpler projects on the needles. Chevron socks on 2 Circulars (from Sensational Socks) and a Prayer Shawl... K3P3K3P3.....

What great FOs. Well even though the sweater is too big, you can wear double shirts underneath that sweater in winter.
The new theme is nice. Much better than white background.
You finished those socks! I can't believe it! Congratulations! Are they comfy? And when did you go blond?
The socks are very comfy...and I got rid of the red hair in late winter or early spring...it was just too stark a contrast to the roots...the blond is semi-natural and everything blends and grows without too much notice.
I love the sweater and the socks - I just caution that they probably shouldn't be worn together! Wow - everyone should notice the socks = they are such a great color!
