I am slowly trying to get back into the swing of things, but I must admit that it is very hard to do. Losing Precious has been a terrible ordeal. I have not been doing as much knitting these last 2 weeks. I just haven't felt like doing much of anything. It doesn't help matters that the temperatures have soared back into the 90's again. The first day of fall was 86 degrees! Certainly not very fall like.
The knitting I have done during the past 2 weeks has been on the Red Hat Lady scarf that I am knitting for Jackie P., a lady at work. She is big into the Red Hat Society, and she has an absolute ball everytime they meet. Their next big outing is the end of next week, so I plan to finish her scarf this weekend and get it to her so that she can wear it then. I will take a picture of it before I give it to her.
I have been trying to perk myself up by looking through some fall fashion magazines and I have seen lots of things that can be knitted that will fit right in with the trends. I have bought several knitting magazines and now there are so many things that I want to knit that I don't even know where to start! But my first priority is Jackie's scarf, and I really want to finish the Beach Vacation scarf that I started a few weeks ago. It got put aside when I started another (actually several) other projects. I need to get myself organized and get a grip on those knitting needles before the Christmas Knitting Rush arrives in full force!!!! Maybe doing so will help me to move forward again. Knitting has always helped me during difficult times in the past, and it will help me to overcome this heartache, too. So, without further ado, I am headed off to work on that Red Hat Lady Scarf. Nothing like a bit of bright color to liven up the day, and you can't get much brighter than red and purple together!
