Saturday Sky

This is definitely a November sky. I aimed west and then east and it is just drab and grey. The leaves are gone. I could hear some birds, but I couldn't find them. *sigh*

Do you have an accent?

What American accent do you have? Your Result: The Midland "You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio.

Saturday Sky

I finally get to post this picture.
I think I need a tripod ;-D
Maybe I can say the out of focus effect is a design element. It is an artistic touch!

The sunrise on Sunday morning was beautiful! I was taking this picture through a window on the third floor of Villa Maria Retreat House. And the tall grass! I don't know why I think it is so beautiful, but I am always drawn to it.

This is Pam's bag. She is almost finished. I can't wait to see the finished one. Then we all piled into the restroom to felt Anita's bag. I didn't get a picture of the finished one, I just thought it was fun seeing all these wonderful women stuffed in there.



Here are Betty and Bill. They knit for charity. Bill has made over 850 hats in the last 4 years.
Betty knit the mittens. I don't know what her total is, but they are keeping a lot of people warm!

Minnesota Knitter's Days 2006

Saturday Sky!!
I went to Villa Maria near Red Wing MN this weekend for Minnesota Knitter's Days.
Lucy Neatby was our teacher and she showed us several ways to knit felted bags. I made the Origami Bag, but it isn't felted yet. That will be another post.






The area was beautiful!
I have a Sunday Sky picture too.























Here are our knitters!
Wonderful people from all over the Upper Midwest.
We had so much fun! I can't wait to go back next year!

Mitten Monday (I know it's Thursday!)

I just can't seem to get me on the calendar and keep up with where I'm supposed to be.
BUT I have been knitting and here is a little proof.

There are some thumbs missing and a few ends to weave, but I have a little time before the holidays to get that done!
