I've been knitting like a mad thing. Am currently on the seventh hat and have four pair of "Mama Janes" knitted. They still need finishing. I'm down to 1.5 pair of socks to get done before the dread winter holiday so I don't think I'll be rushed this year.
I mentioned Anna was in town a couple of weeks ago-she was in for a wedding and we had a nice but very brief visit.
We had dinner on Sunday at my mom's house with some other family and of course the wonderful sister reunion of the two of them. I know how much they miss each other, and I'm glad Anna has a better car now-maybe she will be able to visit more.
We went to Idlewild the following week. We haven't been since the week after we got married, and it was a really nice time. Here's a slideshow, but I'll pull out some favorites.
It was their "HallowBoo" event and not all the rides were open, but there were lots of people (and kids) and I did ride a few rides. My leg held out better than I expected, too. Some favorites from the train ride...
It's really unworldly beautiful up there.
They had some funny/seasonal stuff set up in the woods.
But the scariest thing I saw all day was in Storybook Forest.
F...E...A... hmmm, what letter could be missing???
Not all was scary though.
Truly, one of my favorite places.
A few random crafting photos and I'll close. I'm overtired, overwrought, overworked, and have a lot on my mind.
(this yarn is handspun BFL and like knitting puppy kisses. It's amazing. Best yarn I ever made.)
(Angee from Cookie A's Sock Innovation book. A gift)
(My "alaria" pattern [see sidebar] in Fibranatura Yummy.)
Handspun cashmere neckwarmer.
Oh, and check out this awesome basket I won at the Western PA Wildlife Center's Harvest Festival.
(plus a gift card for a local restaurant)
It's been an interesting and busy few weeks, but nothing momentous or earth-shattering, just highly unmotivated to write or thinking "I'll write later" and it doesn't happen. I need to stop doing that.
