Saturday Mornings!

This Saturday morning is a particularly interesting and beautiful one indeed. You see, I had plans to go shake it up at Zumba, but somewhere along the way I decided that a walk with my dear little papillon would be better. Fresh snow on top of Autumn colors is really what makes a November morning such as this rather grand. But somewhere along the way, I decided to use my "free" Saturday morning to eat a coconut raspberry muffin (my new gluten & dairy free baking secret - coconut!), listen to Debussy radio on Pandora and catch up on my blog! So here I am. My lack of posts does not mean I have not been knitting! Since my last post, I've had the chance to bestow a couple of my Summer knitting projects to a couple friends as gifts and start a lovely lace scarf.

Alternating two skeins due to differences in dye lot - big lesson to buy all you
need when you buy the yarn!! In this case, I decided I wanted another skein after
I started knitting the scarf and had to tear out what I had already knitted to
alternate yarns and accommodate for the differences in dye lot.}

Mountain Colors Twizzle in Firestorm.
Gifted to my lovely friend, Bre!}
{Susie's Reading Mitts (on Ravelry). Cannot remember the
yarn I knit these in. I gifted them to my dear friend, Amanda!
I learned a new skill knitting these - the Picot Edge!}
