To post or not to post... I have some progress on Starsky, but well it looks just like the picture I posted last time, it is just the right front instead of the left. Not too exciting. I had to rip most of the Irish Hiking Scarf, and it is much slowly coming back to life. Once I wound up the second ball I bought I realized the dye lots were similar but not quite the same, you would definitely notice once the second ball started up, so I ripped and am now alternating. The local girls know I tend to rip a lot, I never make a project just once, I usually make a project 2-3 times with one complete output. But I would much rather have something usable than try and figure out a way to make something usable, you know? So the progress on that is about the same as it was before.

Now I do have a little something to share, I took a toe up sock class last weekend. Well part one of a 2 part class, I mean did you all see how much sock yarn I have bought recently, I should really be making a ton of socks. I finished my homework for the week, get to the point of turning the heel, the sock went surprisingly fast on my size 0 needles. I don't love the sock, it is a bit too wide but I wanted to be at the heel for class so I didn't rip. Plus I can't find the second skein of this yarn, which I would need for the second sock, so who knows what will become of this sock(s).

I also forgot the best thing about fall on my last post. I love putting on a winter coat to find money in the pocket!!! It has happened twice so far this fall, I should run off and check all the pockets but somehow that might be jinxing myself you know.

I received ISE III scarf right on time, on the 1st. I even worked from home so the nice people of the USPS hand delivered it to me!!! It is beautiful!! I love it and the goodies my pal sent. I wish I would have known my pal Ina was also at Rhinebeck, we could have met up. It looks like she even had my scarf along. Thanks so much Ina I love everything, how did you know I love, love dark chocolate?

It feels like Fall, now I know that is an obvious statement, but it has been cold, you can still smell the leaves, in Boston the leaves were still beautiful the house has been cold because I am too cheap to turn the heat up. Large branches have fallen in my yard due to snow, sweaters are flying on the needles, college football is here (has been here for a while but...) new TV stuff is on, it is FALL. I love it!!

I am dutifully working on Starsky it is turning my hands orange, hopefully it is just that one or so skeins. It is coming along, 2 sleeves and almost a front done. But this is turning into serious knitting, head down, don't bother me knitting. Cable pattern on the RS and WS knitting, serious stuff. I had to change projects during Grey's last night so I could watch my weekly porn. It has slowed down but I feel I am still making decent progress.

I had to start something new, now that my ISE Scarf for Jen who took some amazing pictures of it, I will steal it and put it here. I need to make one of these babies for myself now!!! I was thinking about one in my left over lime blue, but since my ISE Pal made me a My so called Scarf in lime blue I think I will find another yarn to do mine in. So for my lighter knitting I started a Irish Hiking Scarf with some of the Briar Rose yarn I bought at Rhinebeck. It is so pretty I love the colors. It is moving along great too!!

I have also thought about joining the NaKniSweMo I bought yarn for Hour glass in Boston and I could do it, I really could do that and Starsky in November I have faith. I have also determined that knitting is as much about enabling as anything else, I buy yarn because all of you buy yarn, I wouldn't know about the sales and such if you girls didn't tell me! I wouldn't join all these things with deadlines if other girls didn't blab about it!! I blame all of you for my stash that is ever growing, my deadlines that are ever looming and maybe even one day my ulcers from knitting stress. There are others out there that are just as bad too. Just because I didn't name you doesn't mean you are not an enabler too! And until I find some self restraint I will blame all
