Now that it’s officially November, I’ve succumbed to temptation and turned on the heat.  Woolly socks are marvelous things, but they can do only so much once the lows dip into the 30s.  However, the cold weather does provide lovely atmospheric backdrops for photos.  Or at least that’s the excuse reason I’m using for not having raked.  Laziness has nothing to do with it.

The testers have worked their magic, and the pattern for these should be up early next week.  Once these are out, I may be a bit light on the knitting for the next few weeks, as most of my projects are secret at the moment.  Rest assured, the quiet now will lead to a flurry of fuzzy feet come the new year.

Thanks so much to everyone who got in touch and wished me well as I battled the flu.  I really appreciate your good thoughts.  I am feeling much better (knitting now seems curative rather than taxing) and might even be fully human in another few days.
