Yep

So remember when I did that one post, where I said that I post a lot more in my head? Yeah, well, most of this post has been rattling around up there for the better part of three weeks. Anyhoo.
I finally got into Ravelry which is exciting. It is a knitting/crocheting community with all kinds of nifty features like a place to keep track of all of the different needles you have (I only entered what I could remember off the top of my head, I really have so much more) and your yarn stash, and you can keep track of and show off projects, and make a queue of projects that you want to start. It is all very exciting. If you are on, I am Goodwitch.
In other knitting news, I finished my shawl, and I like it pretty well. It isn't exactly the half an afghan that I was looking for, but that might have something to do with it being a triangle. I thought about making it bigger, but I was getting sick of working on it so I stopped when the pattern did.

I have since started a blanket for baby Bonsignore and a pair of green socks for me.

Next, my yard in the fall! A couple of weeks ago, James mowed the leaves (yes, he mowes them) so that he could put down the fall fertilizer. But overnight the back maple did this!

I was also very happy with the way my mums came out this year. The color here is about right, maybe a little on the light side.
The orange and red looked great, the purple ones looked a bit out of place but still pretty, and what could I really expect when I planted them over a three year time and could never seem to remember what colors I had planted before. I could've taken a picture before now, but really, me, do something when I first think of it? That's crazy talk. I must wait until at least the third time that I think to myself "Hey, I should do..." Hence the infrequent blog postings.


Well, on to another day. I'll be thinking about telling y'all what happens. Maybe in a few weeks I'll get around to letting you know how that went.
