It's the Big Lug

Ah, Autumn. I've seen many entries lately on the return of Fall. It is truly my favorite season and always reminds me of buying school supplies and new clothes. So yay for the return of Fall! I can't wait to decorate for Halloween.

The work craziness continues to infringe on my blog-writing and blog-reading time. I have a fear that if I don't update regularly people will stop reading my blog so I'm trying to commit to an at-least once a week entry.

So here's what I've been up to knitting wise - I've started knitting a baby blanket for a special baby in some washer friendly Lion Brand yarn. Here is a boring square for you to look at:

8 more to go

And Lady Eleanor slowly continues...

I love knitting this but for reasons I can't get into (i.e. working 10 or 12 hour days) I haven't had any energy to knit anything. I've been trying to force myself to knit, but it's not something you can force, right? I'm waiting patiently for the knitting mojo to return.

So go, celebrate fall, bake some pumpkin pies, buy halloween candy! (My favorite halloween candy growing up was probably bubble gum - any kind that I got at halloween - even the incredibly crappy Dubble Bubble pink gum that came individually wrapped. I especially hated getting Almond Joy or Mounds at halloween. What kid likes getting Almond Joy? Ugh.)

ETA: Trips I'm not taking this fall/winter...Rhinebeck Update. I will not be going this year. I thought I'd let ya'll know now that I very sadly can't make it. I will join the ranks of those who weep while we look at all the blog posts of those who went and met and shopped. Also - trip to visit this girl and this girl that I daydreamed about and mentioned as a possibility (though I'm not sure anyone really was counting on it happening) is also not going to happen. And visiting my friends that moved to California - probably not happening this calendar year either. I'm Pennsylvania-bound only this fall. For many reasons (some very good, some silly, some work related), and though I would love to make both of those trips - it's just not in the cards right now.

We can weep together about not being able to make it to Rhinebeck. There is always Maryland right??
Hope the mojo comes back. Your Lady Eleanor is beautiful!!!

My favorite as a kid were smarties and individually wrapped jawbreajers. Oh--and candy necklaces--but those only came around once in a blue moon. God, I love the fall toooo!

i tried meditating the other night, but it didn't work. I probably should have just knit; it always calms me down. So maybe it's not forcing it to make time for knitting, maybe it's like therapy?

Not sure I will make it to Rhinebeck either--my weekends are filling up so fast!
