Simple Woman - August 3, 2009

I base most of my fashion sense on what doesn’t itch.

FOR TODAY
Outside my Window... it is a crisp beautiful morning . . . the first Monday of August 2009
I am thinking... the summer is flying by
I am thankful for... the warm weather and cool nights
From the kitchen... the first vegetables from the garden, baked in a wonderful casserole, tossed with a pesto. Yummy
I am creating... squares and cloths and a scarf and hat for Zachariah
I am going... to leave work earlier today . . . Dave's first day allowed to begin preparing his classroom and he will be picking me up when he is done.
I am wearing... beige skirt, stripped summer sweater and beige skimmer shoes
I am reading... Interweave Knits and Vogue Knitting . . . both of which arrived in Saturday's mail
I am hoping... to get to bed early tonight
I am hearing... the radio and the birds
Around the house... the bedrooms have all been cleaned, dusted and look rather nice
One of my favorite things... clean windows
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week... work, knitting, WW (on Tuesday), knitting (on Wednesday), EGD (on Friday), dinner with friends (on Saturday).
Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you... another Cloth of the Week, this one from November 11, 2008. It was an interesting pattern and one of the few done so far which required my total attention. I am really enjoying doing these cloths. The cloths are broadening my knitting skills but also keep me interested.

Another cloth of the week pattern done

This one is one of the 2nd anniversary cloths called Summer Fields. The color in Peaches and Creme is in Apple Green. It is a great color and I like the pattern.

I am still having problems uploading documents from flickr, my computer or directly from the computer. However, photobucket will allow me to do these one at a time. Sigh.

Cloth of the Week, first two

Blogger is once again not letting post pics directly. But, I did get this posted through photobucket.

The orange is double delite and the yellow is C4 Lattice. Both knit up quickly. The orange is Peaches and Creme. The yellow is some of the yarn I received last year as part of a Whoduknit swap.
