Wow - lately I can't seem to generate the desire to finish (or start) any project. I'm almost finished with Coraline - need to join sleeves and body to knit the yoke. I just can't seem to wrap my head around doing it. I also need to bind off my Featherweight Cardigan - it's been ready for months. I can't decide if the collar is wide enough, so I'm paralyzed.

I did start and finish Milkweed for my SIL after I found out she had breast cancer. My prayer shawl for her.

I recently quit smoking and bought a bike as my six week congratulations present. I love that bike and average 10 miles a day on it. I am really dreading the time change with shorter days and the cold weather.

"If everyone paid taxes, we'd all be equal" Amen!

Almost 200 people showed up for our little Tea Par-tay!  We were a jolly group, the weather was gorgeous and we had a fabulous time.  Even being asked to relocate from the closed post office sidewalk didn't detour our fun.  Heh - the PO station manager I expect will hear from his supervisors about this.  I missed being part of a larger more organized group, but I think this was perfert for my first protest - there are definately more in my future.

Had the best day at my LYS.  Took my spinning wheel and visited.  The ladies were interested and had not seen anyone spin before.  One couple stopped by to purchase yarn for booties and baby socks and the husband was extremely intrigued.  That's my first experience with a male other than my husband watching me spin.  My hubby wants to set me up with a motor to get more production.  Dude - that's not why I spin!  It's a very calming activity and helps me decompress after work.  The ladies kept asking what I did with my yarn - haha.  It's another collection.  I have knit socks, shawls and fingerless mitts, but not much else.  We discussed maybe having a trunk show and sale.  Can I part with it?  Not sure, but makes me consider the possibilities.  Must noodle on that a little more.

Because I'm not fond of pictureless posts, I'm putting up some of my spinning.

Sorry, I know that was alot, but I love my yarn!
