It took all summer to get some roses but they were worth the wait. Only two of my bushes really produced because it's been so dry. And I don't think I cut them back in time this spring. I should have done it in the fall but I forgot.
I couldn't believe it but I found a pair of UFO socks hanging up on the coat rack (in a bag, of course.) I think the pattern is Moonstruck in Woolease. Unfortunately one of the needles has pulled out and I had some ladders on the heel flap which is where the intarsia pattern is so that will have to be re-knitted. I have no idea why they got put there but I'm the only one who could have done it.
I also have a hooded sweater from Lion Brand's site that I need to finish. I deliberately put it away for the summer because it was too hot to work on it. I'm almost ready to bring it out. When I finish Jesse's Flames I will.
One of my sils stopped by today and was drooling over the Monkeys. She knits but for her it's not a passion so she doesn't do it much. I may have to make her some Monkeys. But not the ones I just finished. Those are my Monkeys. *grin*
She didn't understand the spinning though. She asked why on earth I was going to all that trouble. It's as I suspected. There are people who knit and people who are knitters.
I have a dream that someday I can knit some of those really gorgeous patterns from the major magazines in yarns that are luscious and soft. In the meantime, I knit what I can afford and what I need. But someday I will knit what I want.

Are you loving the Pullman CDs? I sent them to my daughter after I was through (I read the books twice before listening - and I love his narration). I went to the movies last week and saw a long trailer for The Golden Compass. I can't wait!
