My Bag
September and October are golden.
My favorite months, my favorite time of year! May is a close second, and I consider it very fortuitous that my mom, my daughter and myself were born in May, Oct and Sept respectively.
I've been doing some bits and pieces for the past few weeks - nothing too big - finishing up things for History on Two Needles and doing some small stuff (like my Chicken Hat? It's worked up in - no kidding - Rooster yarn!)
But today I started a whole new project for the book and I'm VERY excited. It's a pullover based on an anonymous portrait of Anne Boleyn, and so far, so good!
So when you look in my knitting bag today, you'll see the yarn for the Bolyen Bodice (Tilli Tomas Milan and Beaded Milan) and yarn for a scarf (blueface leister superwash by HW Hammand)
Today I biked. Hannah forgot her English assignment (The Most Powerful Person I Know) so I rode it over to her school.
I had to print it off of the computer, so of course I read it, and for a brief moment I was afraid she'd say I was the most powerful person she knew, and not in a good way (we had a not-terrific hair cutting incident, but her friends at school like her new "too short" cut so all is forgiven...)
The most powerful person she knows? Little Oliver. My friend's baby is Hannah's Most Powerful Person.
It was such a clever essay relating how the world jumps through hoops for him, that I had to smile.
And now I must return to the knitting, to the hat book, and the the pattern writing that always seems to be lurking in some dark corridor of my brain.

And, of course, the power isn't in the baby, but in the LOVE we have for the baby (who is a doll!)

My life is a bizarre all-knit version of "Wait Until Dark"

What a precious little one!
Your chicken hat cracks me up.
I think any new mom would agree with Hannah. What a wise young lady!
Do we get pics of Hannah's new 'do? Or did I miss them? :-)
Adorable baby! We have a brand new baby in our extended family - she brought our string of September birthdays to 4 - mine is the 5th, my brother's the 6th, my grandson's is the 7th & little Anya (great niece) was worn on the 8th. And then there is her aunt (my niece) who just celebrated her birthday on the 15th. This seems to be the last baby for the foreseeable future so not much chance of filling in that week! That looks like lovely yarn; is it available in the states?

Stefanie Japel discovered a web resource called ning ... which she is using to teach knitting classes on line ...she charges and then teaches via video clips, a forum and weekly chats ... it is a successful model I think [I am one of the students] that you could use to increase both your exposure and your income !
Just a thought ...
I was thrilled to find Anne of Cleves lurking in the Louvre on my visit there this summer. I have always admired her knack for making the best out of a very bad situation! That, and the lovely, calm look on her face in that famous Holbein portrait.
I like how Hannah thinks, right out of the box! Would love to see photos of her hair cut and read her essay.
FINALLY had time and sense to click through and find your blog and follow you on Twitter. Now (as a Brit living in New Zealand) I am having to go back and read and look at all the things you did in the U.K.
Also, I LOVE the extravagance of an hat in your newsletter. Awesome and worth knitting for the looks you would get walking down our local main street. Mind you as as a WSK (World's Slowest Knitter) I might be knitting it as a retirement present for me!!!
Better go add you to my RSS feed, I don't want to miss a day of you now I found you! Se you on Twitter!
