A Little Bit of This and A Little Bit of That

As I told you in my last post Debbi and Mary surprised me with tickets to go see Barry Manilow Sunday night. I have to tell you even though it was up in the heavens, it was sooooo exciting to be there and hear him in person. I absolutely loved it, and my sister had a good time as well. That is me on the left and Debbi on the right.Don't we look like we are having a good time. I tried to get some pictures of Barry but they didn't come out as well as I was hoping. But at least I got to see him. In knitting news I finally finished my first sock of my second pair and here it is. I think I did an awesome job on this and it seemed to take forever to do. But it is done and now I need to start on the other one this weekend. If you go and read my sisters blog http://www.adayinthelifeofdebbi.typepad.com/ you will see how busy the postlady has been coming to our house. Well yesterday it was my turn for surprises in the mail. I got my swap from swap-bot. It was from Suzie at http://purlygates.blogspot.com/. It is this awesome yarn called Trekking and a beautiful pattern. You should go check her site out she is doing a Knit With Love. What it is, is she is looking for knitted hats to give to the elderly in nursing homes. She is working with the Little Brothers of San Francisco. Oh ya this is what see sent me. I can't wait to get started on these. Now for my Fall Into Autumn topic of the week. Topic
Now that in some geographic locations the weather is starting to turn cooler, do you change the type of yarn(s) you knit/crochet with? If so, what do you now knit/crochet with instead and why? If not, why do you not switch and what do you knit/crochet with? Well seeing as I just started knitting again I probably won't change yarns because I like making socks. I may do some other things but basically stick with socks. Ok that is all until next time Happy Knitting!!!!
