St. Brigid is done!

I finished my Starmore "St. Brigid' sweater and I am really happy with how it turned out. I know that I don't post all that much here anymore but I post almost everyday on Bite Me New England For now I am just sort of post my knitting and other misc stuff. I am almost done with Heroine. Just one more sleeve to go and then I have to felt it.

WHAT DID *I* DO TODAY???!!!!

See all of the damn leaves? AWWWWW pretty you say? PFFFT. I raked the damn things and stepped in dog poop along the way. Glad you asked?

Annie and Tim and Halloween in New England

Annie and Tim came to visit and Annie knitted me my very own monster. I can not tell you how much I love this monster and how much I love that Annie made it for me.



So, it was the day before Halloween and what better place to go visit than Sleepy Hollow



We visited Ralph Waldo Emerson's grave.



Someone left him a note. He is dead and I don't think he will be able to read it.

On Halloween we had a party. We made Candy Corn Martini's. I may have drank one too many because even looking at this picture kind of makes me sick.



Tim wore a really creepy mask



Annie and I wore weird eye lashes



Dakota wore little devil ears and wasn't too into it.



and Mr Yarn....well...what do I say?

Yeah, I am still here...

Got the back of St Brigid done. I think it will be done by the first snow. Technically it snowed a couple of weeks ago but I mean the first REAL snow.

Not much happening here. Annie and Tim are coming to visit in a couple of days and I can't wait. We will be having a Halloween party on Saturday so maybe there will be more pictures and things to post from that.

Neil Young and my Brother

When I was a teenager my brother would bug me because I listened to Neil Young over and over and over again. He hated him. I loved him. So my brother wrote up an agreement that read something like "In ten years hence Neil Young will be forgotten". We signed in agreement (him) and in disagreement me. Years went by and this agreement lived in a harmonica case that I dragged everywhere I moved.

My brother just came to visit and when he asked to borrow a t-shirt, this is what I found to give him



I won.

Change change changes!

I know I sound like a grump not liking fall, but if you had to deal with this



you wouldn't like it either. Fair is fair though and it is pretty incredible when it starts to peek. This is for my California friends that just don't get the changing colors of the trees. You can say "We do!" but you don't.

We were driving and I was trying to get some pictures. Most of it is through a rainy window

I am knitting but not really having fun

I started a new sweater. I am sick of the lace I am knitting on. This is Alice Starmore's St. Brigid. I am changing it a bit because the original is an 80's sweater that comes down to the knees and has fringe. That would most likely make me look like Cousin It.

I know that I haven't been posting here very much lately but it is because I really have been spending more time cooking and blogging to "Bite Me New England. I will keep posting here as well but there isn't a whole lot happening right now. Unless you want to see the stupid colors of the trees because winter is coming and I will be living in the freezing cold again. No really the trees are beautiful.
