Yarn Along

 

 

 

 

Well, the fall is here. My house is full of flowers and knitting projects. Somehow when temperature outside is going down, wooly knitting projects seem more appropriate. I have request for a winter hat(for my husband) and for a southwest poncho (for my son). Oh! How happy I am!!
Just finished my vest. It is light, free fitting and goes very well with most of my lovely scarves.
I am reading and trying to practice Breathing Exercises by Yogi Zoli. Love it! Hopefully I will stick to it and keep it as a daily routine.
Have a wonderful knitting and reading!

Fall

Fall in New Mexico means cooler temperatures. We still have 90th during the day, but mornings are around 50th, which are pleasant and refreshing.

Mums!

When we were driving to Tooley's trees to pick up our grape seedlings we found fruit stand by the side of the road. Two boxes for $12! It 's a deal!
By the way, anybody who is living in New Mexico and want to buy some fruit trees should look up Tooley's trees and nobody is paying me to say that. The owners are very friendly and big advocates for local agriculture. Their trees are adopted to New Mexico's poor soil and are drought resistant. We bought from them two cherry trees and two black currant bushes and they are doing great in our backyard!

Well, It is not balloon fiesta yet, but here in NM you can expect hot air balloons any time.

It is couple of days after the event, but I am leaving you with pictures of lunar eclipse. My husband made them just holding our regular camera. Isn't it amazing?

Yarn Along

It all started when my husband bought me a Kindle. Tell you the truth, I love paper books, I love the smell, the feel of them. My favorite stores are used books stores. In every place we lived I can name you quite a few. AND that is without online used books stores like " the Better word books", which I love very much.
BUT lately I found myself in situations where my books are available only electronically or significantly more expensive as paper books, so I agreed to buy Kindle.
My husband asked if I want case for Kindle or not. " No case"- I said. They all end up in the "no use" pile.  Keeping Kindle in my purse means that it will be scratched, so what does a real knitter do? Knit a cover of course. I used Sasha Kagan's Country Inspiration book for flower pattern.
I love my new cover! It is so comfortable! Very light, not fussy and it has flower on it.
I started reading The Second Deadly Sin by Asa Larson on my new Kindle and so far am enjoying it!
Have a great knitting and reading!

What we did this Summer part 1

Summer went so quickly! Just yesterday school was over and today is already 4th week of school! I do not know where the middle disappeared. We were quite busy this Summer: swimming classes, guitar lessons B-Day parties, camping and , of course, fencing. This was our first year of fencing: so much fun!!! Of course we have to apply all knowledge in fencing while playing with older brother!
Thank you D.!
Have a great day!

Yarn Along

I started cute little vest from DROP design : Nagomi A-line Tanktop.

Suggested yarn for it is cotton, but cold time is coming. So I thought light wool will do the trick.

I am reading The breath of life by Kozo Nishino. Lately I became interested in different breathing methods and this book was recommended for Ki method.

I hope you have great knitting and interesting reading!
