Wine Gardening

This past weekend my friend Peter recruited a few of us to work in the Wine Garden at the county fair:


PS... I knit my hat.

Lots of fun. I think I was born to pour wine. And as always after I do something like this, I have a renewed respect for bartenders.



We didn't really venture out of the Wine Garden area, just to get a couple fair tacos (my husband thinks I am NUTS but I love those things, and if you are from the Fresno Area you KNOW what I am talking about) and a gyro that I cut in half with a giant carving knife.

As for Socktoberfest, I've decided that since I work well under deadlines, I am going to attempt to knit 3 pairs of socks this month: Finish my Merlot socks, Something thick and warm for my husband, and some Noro socks. I might be crazy, but don't tell me and let me try anyway.



PS - Have you seen this? It's 5 seconds to a better day, I promise.

Edited to add: This post reminded me that I still have a wine post-in-progress. That's coming soon.

Who's with me??

Spectacles

I got new glasses yesterday. My Dr. also confirmed that I am pretty much blind.


Horrible ancient webcam photo.

Also, I know how to strike one hell of a pose on a whim.

I finally started knitting again last night. Plus, it's actually below 90 degrees today so I'm starting to dream about fires in the fireplace and pumpkins on my doorstep.


My husband might kill me, but we will have lace pumpkins on our doorstep, oh yes we will.



PS - I am officially DONE with Bloglines. So over it and it's fantastic way of crapping out at all the wrong times. HELLO GOOGLE READER!
