As I sit here knitting way past my bed time, and think about the days events .
I am amazed at how fast the fun stuff goes by,
I had and amazing time with my grandson at a pumpkin patch we took a hay ride, wandered the grounds taking pictures being silly and just watching the twinkle in my grandsons02* eyes as he wandered over under and around pumpkins wondering what he was thinking at almost two years of age about this great orange ball like thing adventure, if he wondered why mommy was taking pictures and nana was just happy to walk holding his little hand,

I saw lots of beautiful colors today in the punkin patch that would make beautiful socks and scarves, many different colored pumpkins than I’ve seen in the past, even some stripped ones. Before I knew it  it was time to head home from our adventure.

  Children and grandchildren cause you to look at things we take for granted and see the magic and the fun in things like we used to, reminding us of  times with our parents and grandparents when we would go to the pumpkin patch and how we could hardly believe our eyes at all the pumpkins every where big and small and what a magical time it was for us back then.
And now I sit back still knitting and thinking  about all the colors I saw in a whole new way and how I can bring those colors to yarn and then magically turn them into scarves or socks or fingerless gloves.

When I think about this blog and you knitters out there who read it I would like to know what inspires you, what causes you to see something you see every day in a whole new lite?, what makes you want to start a new knit project or a amigurumi project?.   Why you chose the color you did or why the project.? Was it for some one special?, or did you just fall in love with a color or a pattern? why do you knit or do amigurumi?
 I want to know really

  Hi ho fiber friends it’s Been 7 months and 4 days since my last post I have been relatively busy and no excuses . I last posted Feb, in March I went to Vermont for 7 days and upon my return we were amidst a pandemic . I have been trying to play catch-up ever since. I, like most of the rest of the United States could hardly believe what was going on let alone try and adjust our lives to such a drastic change that seemed to happen over night. Even though forced to stay home a lot more than normal I never seemed to have the time to write let alone gather any thoughts that would make sense to any one other than myself. My editor / daughter probably would have thrown I the towel if I had written all the things running through my head at the time.                So now here it is, the beginning of September and I am able write with a little clearer mind and possible light at the end of the tunnel . All though many events this year in Califor...

This shop is called Rumpelstiltskin it’s a great little shop a mile away from old town Sacramento right next door   to a lovely tea shop and a wonderful restaurant called the Fox and Goose . All three places are amazing .  The yarn shop boasts a wide array of fibers including roving for spinning or dying.                                                                                                                         They also carry a few spinning supplies and a lot of pattern...
