Saturday Surprise
Pumpkinmama was the first to guess that my 'not sock' project was a pair of fingerless gloves so I'm sending her Twinkletoes in what happens to be her favorite colors. I knit the Leaf Lace Shawl with it and I hope she'll like it too. And Rachel guessed EXACTLY what I'm knitting so, she gets a prize (yet to be determined), too. My secret Koigu project is gauntlet's by Sally Melville from the Purl Book. Pictures next week.
You must see Julia’s pictures of her trip to Arches. She traveled through Utah on her way to her new home in California. Thanks so much, Julia, for sharing this uniquely beautiful place with us!
And did you hear!? Melanie is having...well, just head over to her blog and see. It's going to be crazy around her place for years!
If anyone hears from Deb or Carolyn
who were in the path of Hurricane Katrina, please let me know. I'm a bit worried about my Blogland buddies.

















So glad you post on Saturday! Fun links...wheeeee....

Caroline's ok...no power, but lots of fallen trees in her 'hood. Sounds like she had one fall on her car, but luckily no damage.
Do you think Nature is trying to tell us something?

Yay Melanie! Love the U/S picture. Julia's shots of the the red rocks made this East Coaster gasp in amazement.

Thanks for looking out for me and the P-Man!! 48 hours of no power, lots of missing trees and a flooded front hallway are minor worries. I knit thru it all, like any other crisis :)

Just heard from Debi. She's just fine. Got the power back on finally, and Punkin is chowing down on much chicken

here in baton rouge we're hunkering down for miss katrina but i'm hoping the electritcity will stay on long enough for me to dig through the stash and start my river rapids socks. i should be worrying about my neighbor's errant lawn furniture and all i can think about is...gotta find something good to knit while we ride this out. all your fault since i saw your beautiful river rapids--- i love 'em!
