It's the last week of October. The clocks go back on Halloween. I'm busy with my teaching and I have started knitting for Christmas. So many ideas, from hats to mitts to scarves and even sweaters! I'm also knitting for my great nieces in Calgary. Time is ticking and when Halloween is over, Christmas will be here. I'm looking forward to my daughter being home from University. The weather has been wonderful these last few days before Halloween. Maybe you won't have to dress the kids, with winter coats etc. on this haunting night.My daughters birthday is in November along with Remembrance Day. So lets take a moment on this day to remember our fallen heroes and all the people who are still fighting for our country. Happy Halloween and Happy Knitting.

What a beautiful day! It's Thanksgiving Day this weekend, so lets take a moment to be thankful for everything in our lives. This month everyone will be preparing for Thanksgiving and also Halloween. My kids are all grown up now. I miss the days when they were young, making home-made costumes. I am busy knitting ghosts and goblins for decor of my home. Kids love to knit them with glow in the dark wool!! Come and join my circle Wednesday nights, only $5.00 for the evening. It's the beginning of the week, so have fun preparing food for family and friends! Happy Knitting! and Happy Thanksgiving!
