....Progress....



I'm getting quite close to finishing my four-square check scarf. I will bind it off tomorrow, and then it'll be time to start a new project. I would REALLY like to get past making scarves...but I don't know what to start, since I don't really 'know' enough, I feel...to do anything else! It's frustrating, but I just don't know what I want to try! :P

This is the yarn I'd like to start with next...I can't decide if I should try something 'different', or just do another scarf with a pattern? Maybe it will come to me in my sleep ;)




In other news, this weather is making my heart smile. I love the changing colors of the vines, and the crisp chill in the air. It makes me want to waste toooooo much time in the 'man chair' (the big leather arm chair and ottoman) with a cup of hot tea and my needles.



In school news....

I will be writing a review in the next few days about the curriculum we ordered through A Little Garden Flower. I'm quite impressed, and can not WAIT to delve into it "officially".

I hope everyone had a great Monday...and come in and say "hi" ;)....I check my stats, there are quite a few of you reading, but not commenting. I don't bite :P I even make cookies and share freely :D

Oregon Caves



So, I mentioned earlier that we went to the Oregon Caves, and it was a really neat experience. I was a little apprehensive about the whole enclosed spaces...and felt slightly panicky when he said "we are now 225 feet below the surface...but I tried to suck it up and deal, and it was fine. Tons of cool pictures were taken, here are a few that really capture how the whole thing looked, how amazing it was to see the different formations, etc.




No school for us today, since it's Columbus Day...but we are going to do some arts and crafts later. I may work some more on my latest knitting project. :D
