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.

{On the needles: Shell lace patterned scarf knit with Prism Symphony in Shadow
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.}

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!}

It's Thursday & I have a few things to say..

* It's almost Friday .. Payday Friday (yarn shopping perhaps?? but I already have lots of pretty yarn ... *sigh*)
* It's almost the weekend which means spending knitting time with my dearest mommy ... Who has lots more pretty yarn than I do ... *sigh*
* I actually do have to go to the yarn store tonight ... For legit reasons ... I'm 150% sure I don't have enough yarn for a certain project that is taking forever to finish ... Praying that they have the same dye lot!! and I resist the urge to buy more pretty yarn ... *sigh*
* Tonight I will be shelling out half the cash needed to go on a Spring fling adventure to White Fish, MT with a local knitting group where we will buy pretty yarn ... *sigh*
* I am equally torn between starting my Imagination cowl (which is on my list) and using some lusciously yellow malibrigo that has been in my yarn bag since my friend just GAVE it to me .. Uh a few weeks ago .. to knit a hat ... it's really pretty yarn
* I'm wondering .. Do people out there buy yarn/knit to match their clothes? Or do they buy clothes to match their knitting? Just curious..
