DAY OFF!!!!

Did the yard sale thing this weekend and bought a knitting machine. I hope to spend some time with it tomorrow. It's brand new, never been opened for only $15 so who could resist! I also bought a toy for each of the grand kids for when they come to visit over Thanksgiving. I love yard sales.

Knitting meetup at Savage Mill was fun. It is actually a little better than Wednesday nights. The group is smaller so it is a lot more intimate. I am still working on the second sock in Sheila's sock club. I need to put it aside and start my Christmas gifts. Mel is almost done but I have very little for anyone else.

Next weekend, TEXAS. Becky promises good weather - no big heat. I hope so because the weather in Houston sucks! We'll be visiting San Antonio too. I love San Antonio, especially the little art village behind the amphitheater.

So, what's with the title, beyond booties, you ask. Well, you see for years all I made were these booties that my mother (or grandmother, can't remember which) taught me to make. Then I decided to branch out and make some scarves. Then came hats, then I took a sock class and before I knew it I was actually a knitter. I am now totally addicted! I have a stash to be proud of and have started attending knitting events. I knit just about everywhere, even church!

This blogging thing is fun but hard to find things to talk about. For now, I will keep trucking along on it and see how it goes.
