Rationale

Time to pack up the old
kit bag and move on.

You see, I'm leaving
for Florida. And I need to
take a fair supply of stash
to get me through the winter.

And I was so good
at the Wool and Sheep festival.
275 dealers and I only spent...
Sparingly, let's say.

Florida, of course, has
yarn stores but one just
couldn't get caught mid-trip
or mid-stream with less than
a full sack of yarn and all the
correct size needles.

Add to that rationale:
Christmas is coming.

I know,
I'm always griping
and complaining
about the ads that ask:
"Have you begun your Christmas
shopping?" Or worse yet, "Have
you finished your Christmas shopping?'

Put me down as one of those folks
who has not bought Halloween candy
yet.

But knitters need to look ahead.
Allow a decent amount of time
to start and finish holiday projects.

And take into consideration
that I woke up this morning
relatively brain dead.
Couldn't think of one single thing
to write for the blog.

And I just took myself to
B&N and bought a knitting magazine.
And would you know it had the most
marvelous jumper recipe- have
never been able to discern the
difference between recipe and pattern-
and it would be perfect for Frances.
Poor child, she is so lacking in
hand knitted attire.

Solved two problems at once.
Found the perfect new knitting project
and produced a blog entry.
How good is that?

Started my Christmas gifting...
And now I only need to time
the Halloween candy purchase
so that I don't consume all that chocolate
before the big day.
