Lovely Monday

Fabulous day for a fake rage-making holiday Monday.  At least, the wind stopped.

Isn't it fabulous?! 

 

This arrived in the mail over the weekend.  It is a Stitched By Jessalu wedge bag.  She did two different prints for Halloween this year, and this is the one that I fell for.  Not hard to see why.

Had a wonderful, supportive chat with a much loved friend this morning.  We don't talk enough but, when we do, I always come away feeling better for it.  Now that all the (bad) crazy, judgy, and downright dreadful is gone, it's a joy to have the people I have in my life.  This morning was a wonderful reminder of how lucky I am and how loved.  It's that whole thing about making your own family in adulthood.

If the weather apps are to be believed, it's looking like summer is over.  Time to switch around the wardrobe and ponder going boot shopping.  No switching of bedding until next month because I don't trust the weather apps.

There are still man socks happening...

Okto Socks

The color of the yarn is off but we're not surprised by that.

Love the pattern!  Love the socks!

I had to add 2 stitches on each side to get the right stitch count but that was an easy thing to do.  I knit this pair of socks toe-up with CCSRs and a sewn bind off.  The chart is fun, easy to follow and easy enough to memorize.

Planning on re-watching the new Lewis & Hathaway mystery and perhaps spin a bit.  Yes!  The new upright for my wheel arrived over the weekend also.  Changing things around wasn't too involved and I'm back in the spinning business.  Good thing with Rhinebeck this weekend..

Hoping your Monday is happy, too.

Hi! I love the pattern and the socks too. That bag is just the funnest thing for fall. Computer doesn't like funnest. Here's to happy days and smiles girl!

My favorite thing I saw about Monday went something like this: There's nothing like the fear of a deadly virus coming to this continent to remind you to wish everyone a happy columbus day. Yeah, I guess I'm a bit off in my reactions to some things.

That bag is a wonderful little bit of fabulous.

Those socks look like they offer a wonderful fit with all of the hugging.

Yay! I'm so glad your spinning wheel is well again and you can spin when you want! xoxo
