Still No New Pictures

I've not had much time to do any knitting recently.  I am still working on Neal's scarf and still ignoring Bella (though not intentionally).  Hopefully I can get the scarf done this weekend (wishful thinking!) and allow myself to start another fun

This weekend, DH and I went to Berkeley Springs, WV, to visit friends of ours.  Carrie (recipient of the "Carrie Bag" in August) suggested that I bring some of my baubles with me to show to shop owners in that tourist town, so I packed fiv

We had been scheduled to visit a friend in Virginia yesterday afternoon, but Neal's having issues with the brakes on his car and didn't want to risk the journey, and Stacey wasn't feeling well. The thought of having the entire weekend free led me to
