November Rain

I love this song, by Guns 'N Roses.  Plus, that's what the weather has been like the past few days.  It feels like spring, only it's so much colder.  Since most of my knitting is super secret, I can't say anything other than I can't wait for the book to come out. 
On the needles, still sitting there is my Jewels Cardigan by Amy King.  It was meant for handspun, but I have some yummy Dream Big by South West Trading Company in a lovely charcole grey color.  I'm hoping to have enough to make the sleeves a bit longer.  I know it's going to be so warm, which makes it perfect for this time of the year.  There's also a free pattern on this page that I would make if I didn't look like a dork in hats.
Life with a new puppy is much like living with a new baby-no sleep at all.  She's adjusting quite well, even if Bert doesn't always like the fact she's around.
No photos for this entry, hopefully the cardi will be done in the next few days.

Back from Vacation

Back from vacation-sometimes it feels like you need a vacation from your vacation! I got to meet my BF's new English Mastiff, Moose. He's 5 months old and is a big sweetheart!

At least him & Bert get along. Good thing, too. Bert would be a 2 bite snack for Moose!

I got my Diamonds & Pearls socks done on Monday while watching the Boston Bruins beat up on the Montreal Canadiens. Man, do I love hockey! These were made from Tofutsies, and the pattern is Diamonds & Pearls by Deby Lake.

I also picked up Cookie A's new book, Sock Innovation. This is a must have for sock knitters!
In order to unwind yesterday after the rainy drive home, I cast on the Calorimetry, and finished it 6 hours later. This was done in Plymouth Boku on size 5's.

Next post, the blocked Flower Meadow Scarf!
