Gobble, Gobble...Turkey Time!

How is it, that when you tell yourself, that you will spend some time knitting, that you (or perhaps just I!!) end up surfing the net!! Well, I can't say that it is non-knitting related, I was checking out some of the knitting sites, and found, what looks to be, a great one skein scarf pattern. It is entitled "Athena". I am attempting to find something to work on, as I will be flying to the US this week, to meet up with my hubby, who will be at a conference. This seems to be just what I need!
Will keep you posted!
It is Thanksgiving Weekend here in Canada, turkey time! Although, my husband will be away, and my sister and her new husband will be working - so I don't see the need to cook a huge dinner for just my son and I - when (as he is 4) would much prefer a peanut butter sandwich to anything at the moment!!!!
The weather is georgeous, sun is shining, and it is expected to get up to about 70 degrees tomorrow -- but I WILL be knitting, most of the chores are already done for the weekend, and my business is closed, so .......just time to relax!!
I hope you have a great weekend, I will try to post before going away, but will be back the week of the 16th, so that will probably be my next entry - I am aiming for pics of my getaway!!!

No fault of my own...

it's not as if I don't have a million things to do, but I did tell myself that if I was going to create a blog, I better ensure that I am dilligent with it, and actually take the time to put stuff in it!! Well, that doesn't seem to have been the case lately, does it??!!
Busy with my business, it seems anything that will go wrong, has gone wrong recently, so it takes about twice as long to get anything properly accomplished!!
But, as for the knitting (the important stuff..hee,hee), I finish the cardigan sweater for my son, Renee, at my class, helped me sew it together properly AND....it is too small for him!! ARRGGG, so very frustrating!! I made him the largest size, that the pattern offered, I think a 4/6 is a huge size range for kids!!!! I had him model it for a few minutes, until he so politely said, "Can I take it off now Mommy!!", in return, I said "No, one more minute, I just want to see what it looks like" - what kind of a mother am I!! Well, my husband and I had a good laugh! Will have to find another wee body for it to accomodate!
Until next time...have a good one!
