I am starting to get excited about this Secret Pal event. I wanted to be in the Secret Pal 5, but my knowledge of blogging was not as advanced as it is now and I didn't get everything done in time. So, I started working on this very early so that I would be able to participate in SP6. I had a couple of friends that were in SP5 and they really had fun. So, I expect it will be really interesting and fun to meet new knitters. The last couple of weeks have kind of been a blur. My Aunt and Cousin from St. Louis came to visit for a week and we were out traveling most of the time. We went to the Pacific Ocean and put our feet in it. My Aunt (87) wanted to see the Pacific Ocean once again. It was rather cold, but the sand was nice and warm. We had some great meals and managed to get some shopping in. My Aunt wanted a pair of cowboy boots! We tried several pair on and eventually I ended up buying a pair. I really needed them. Well, not really, but they are kind of pretty and there will be an occasion or two when I will enjoy wearing them. I spent the summer helping to get my parents new house in order. I was the executor of an estate and had the responsibility of getting the house ready to sell and have all of the necessary repair work done to it. My parents bought the house, it is directly across the street from where we live and I am so grateful that they moved here. I am able to keep a close eye on them and they are the greatest so I am enjoying them. If you would have told me at age 20 that I would have enjoyed having my parents live next to me I would have denied this. However when you add a few years on to that 20 many things change.
I finished my first pair of clogs however I have not felted them yet. I need to get them felted so that I can start the next ones. This pair will be for our youngest daughter if they turn out. I made a moebius scarf for my aunt when she was here using some Noro silk. It is nice to work with. I am actually going to teach a class on Moebius knitting on October 1st so have to get a couple of samples made for the class. There are three ladies signed up so far. I am looking forward to a class on a cable scarf. I'm really burned out on scarves but there will be several new stitches in this and so that is why I am doing it. I do like the cable look. I think this is enough for now. I will keep you all posted on my new secret pal!
