Oh boy! I guess I know where I'll be tomorrow if I can possibly manage it. Glued to my computer. To the detriment of my lace knitting I expect. And all my other jobs. (pricks up ears) Big news?

We went sailing on Sunday, and did landscaping in the yard on Monday (my extra day off). Oh, and I did some knitting as well -- but of course! I was given Victorian Lace Today for my birthday, so perhaps my 4th quarter challenge will be a lace shawl from the book. I'm going to Stitches East on Friday, and perhaps a skein or two of lace yarn will "speak" to me.

I just found out that I couldn't do what I wanted with the yarn I had, and decided that I needed to do it with sock yarn. Hopefully this will motivate me. It's only a hat, hats aren't that hard...right? lol Well, maybe when you are knitting them for your brother. lol This is really rather a perfect challenge.

Other than that, I am still working on recovering from a recent accident and knitting for a new cousin (born on Saturday!). I sure wish I were in Colorado though. I've been there twice in June, and I can only imagine how wonderful it would be in October! Glad you had fun! I am very excited about the new challenge.. I really need an incentive to finish up my chevron scarf (although now that I've trained myself to knit with a broken arm, I don't really need an incentive, just time, patience, and Tylenol :) ).

You really make me want to go to CO in the fall. I'm beginning to wonder when fall is coming here. We're in a drought, and it 's 90+ degrees here too!! It's just wrong. I want sweatershirt and wool-sock wearing weather! Anywho, welcome back! Q4 challenge is getting my creative juices stirring. Looking forward to the recipes. This past weekend wasn't anything special. But I'm getting away this weekend with some of my knitting friends, and I'm really looking forward to it.! WOW!

Colorado sounds amazing. My dad used to drive out there from Toronto every summer (alone) so it holds a sort of mystique for me. Someday I have to go and find out what I missed! The Q4 Challenge sounds like fun. It's just the motivation I need to get started on the colourwork mittens I hope to make this fall!

Oh well. Thanks for the photo; it was great to see aspens again!!! I'm so glad you got to take a break. I'm excited you're getting Jitterbug...I don't know what it is, I just have an irrestistable attraction to those colors...!! Yay for sure! Although....there's that whole not-enough- time-to-knit-all-the-wonderful-stuff problem that keeps cropping up......more sighing..... …..*sigh* We used to have aspens in our front yard in CO….*sigh*…… Oh well.

The pictures are gorgeous. Living in Southern California, we don't get to see much "change of seasons". Ah my weekend. Saturday up at 5:30, get DD up at 6 for a 7:20am departure for her SATs, get home, do laundry, pay bills, clean. Noon arrive at the school to pick up DD. Her session runs late. Call the manicurist to change appt back to 2pm for DDs mani-pedi. 1pm she's done, run home, throw together a sandwich for her, go to maincurist. 2:45 run home -- contact lens broke in DDs eye --2:50 run to hairdresser for DD. (Oh did I mention it was homecoming dance?) Boyfriend is picking her up at 4pm. 3:40, leave hairdresser, run home she throws on her dress and makeup....picture time. Luckily BF is always late. 4:25 she leaves, I throw on my jjersey because fiance surprised me with hockey tickets! Great day, great time with fiance, Kings, not so great. I was so tired that I fell asleep on the drive home!! Great to have you back!! Hey Sheri, sounds like you and a marvelous time. The pictures are gorgeous.

My husband and I rebuilt a miner's cabin in Sts John (above Montezuma) when we lived in Colorado, so I recognized the place where you stayed. My family is all in Colorado so I miss it - nice pictures! Neat!

Sounds like you had fun. Enjoyed the new items so much I had to by some MORE sock yarn from TLE! I will try to complete something for Q4 challenge, since my Q3 sock is still only one third done! We're having a squash soup for dinner-if the recipe is good, I'll pass it on. That soup and a good french bread and some wine.....what could be better for an October evening.
