Holiday Round-Up

2 For 1

The Dillon sweater is done . . .

 . . . and so is the Right Right Now cowl . . . 

We'll see what shows up on the needles next !

Right Right Now !

Sometimes, patients say things that crack me up !

Like one day a few months ago, when an elderly man was late for his appointment . . . 

we were able to get ahold of his twenty-ish year old grandson, who told us that his

grandfather had gotten confused about the appointment time.  Our schedule had a little

leeway that day, so we said that if he came right over to the office, we could still see him.

The grandson says:  "Grandpa, if you leave right now, they can still see you.  

But you have to leave right now . . . RIGHT RIGHT NOW !"

It just made me laugh . . . and the phrase has made its way into my rotation !!

So when I was pumping gas the other night, in the freezing cold, I thought:

"Man, I could really use that cowl right now !"

And the Right Right Now Cowl was born !!!

A quick and easy knit, it should be off the needles & around my neck in no time !!

So I got my third tattoo . . . !

It's the word "Joy" in Arabic, on my wrist . . .

and I love it !

I guess it's true what they say:

you can't get just one !!!

Leafy Loveliness

"Delicious Autumn !

My very soul is wedded to it.

And if I was a bird I would fly about the earth

seeking successive autumns."

Wool & Football

I got me some new wool !!

It feels so great to work with it again !  

I've got a new sweater on the needles, too . . . 

getting ready for cooler weather !!! 

(my new yarn is perched on our new Adirondack chairs 

that Jack's grandfather made . . . aren't they gorgeous ?!?!!)

I've dubbed this my Dillon sweater.  

It has nothing to do with the color, the design, or anything like that . . . 

just an ode to our new favorite TV show, "Friday Night Lights" !

It's set in the fictional town of Dillon, Texas, and follows the story 

of a high school football coach, his family, his team, and the town.

We completely fell in love with this show !!!

Even though it lasted 5 seasons, it wasn't enough . . . I miss them !

So, we make a Dillon sweater !

  If I liked football & actually went to a game, 

I might need a sweater like this one . . . !!!  Until then,

I'll just keep knitting and replaying the show !!!
