This morning I'm enjoying a sunnier view off my back patio - the
neighbors finally thinned their "living privacy fence" and cut it back
to about 6' so my back yard is receiving some morning sun.
I'm also enjoying my coffee - roasted yesterday, brewed today and quite
nice with a little heavy cream.
Knitting in my lap is a Pi shawl made of a blindingly white blend of
wool and cashmere. I used random lace patterns from Walker and Sharon
Miller. I started the edging last night - plain Jane sidewise garter
stitch. I may have enough yarn left over to make a matching cap.
I'm spinning Romney tops right now and making 3-ply yarn. I expect to
have spun enough yarn for another sweater by the end of October.
This afternoon I'm doing chores at my mother's-in-law, and making dinner
there.
Back to the patio to enjoy the morning coolness while it lasts. It may
be October but my weather still says "summer" - I'm expecting 95F and
humid by 11am :P

It sounds lovely! The sun is just now over the hill onto my street,
but there is a cold wind blowing and it's freezing out.

Oh yum! I could use some of that myself. Where is my grinder?

Learning how to spin is on my list of things to do someday. I've been
saying for a few years now I'd love to make a sweater from the sheep
up, including natural plant dyes, since there are a few in my area
that give really nice varying colors, depending on what mordant you
use.

Wow, I could use some of that in my neck of the woods as well. We've
had a cold snap, and went from 60 at night to freezing in just a week.
Had the house fan on yesterday afternoon to move air through, and then
had to close up and turn on the heater as the sun went down! However,
I'm wearing my frat twin wool socks tucked into my handmade slippers
and am contemplating working on some more wool socks in a fingering
weight yarn. To knit or crochet this pair is the question. Crochet
means they'll be done faster, while knitting means thin enough to fit
into any shoes. Decisions!
Of course, I also have a cardigan I'm designing, and I may work on
that later as well. I have one more piece shape to design, and then I
can see about assembling the back and starting on one of the fronts.

This morning I trimmed about 6' off our neighbours' living privacy fence -
back to their side, so my root vegetables now get some sun. They won't be
pleased ...

I'd already done that! And me on a diet ...

Send some heat this way, okay? It's 8°C (46F) here, cloudy and breezy.
The weather is supposed to improve slightly for Thanksgiving tomorrow, and
I'm looking forward to the Fall Supper at the community hall tomorrow
afternoon.
DH & I have been busy this past week or so cutting firewood for the
woodstove.
I haven't had to turn the furnace on at all, since the woodstove is doing a
fine job
keeping us toasty in the early morning and evening.
I'm working on some socks for Brother in law for Christmas, and 2 pairs for
myself. I'll be devoting as much time as possible to finishing up the
Peacock
Feathers shawl, and will post a link when it's done.
