I am glad October is done

What a month! I am glad I started a christmas vest as Wednesday evening my husband and I received notice that "Granny Varner" was dying and we needed to see her. SO, we started driving thursday and arrived friday mid morning. My husband got to see Granny and tell her good bye and she passed Friday in her sleep. We left Saturday late morning and just arrived home today. Friday we will leave for northern california for the service and burial and drive home so another 26 hours worth of knitting in truck.

Please, post a note or something regarding christmas projects. I am interested in knowing if other people are doing special articles of clothing for the holidays.

Best wishes for a good November

Snow Storms

Wow! Snow this early and so much oh dear. If you need a nice warm scarf and hat check out the Galaxy line at www.scarvesforallreasons.com. We also have nice wool beanies and wool and silk scarves in lovely fall colors. We have nice merino wool cabled scarves and a lovely dark forest green cabled scarf.

Halloween is coming and we have pumpkin faux fur scarves, and several nice brown or black faux fur stoles.

Need warm socks? Try our sock section for a purple, or red socks.

We are at 3900 feet above sea level so we didn't get snow but, it rained here which is a very big deal as we have been in a drought for 7 to 10 years. Hopefully, this year will change that ... but, we haven't need airconditioning for 1 month, and my husband has the heater on already. We live in Arizona....but, not the Phoenix area.

Have a great weekend

Kingman Air Show 2006

What a lot of fun the Kingman Airshow was a kick. about 175 cars were there on Saturday for the show & shine. There was drag racing, jet truck, RC planes and jets, wing walker, precision sky jumpers, WWII airplanes and of course the 1960 Starliner. The car has been modified a lot and was done on the east coast about 20 years ago. We got it in April 2006 from and friend and have taken it on several hot rod runs. I made the fuzzy dice in the car from 100% mohair with crystal beads.

We were at the airshow all weekend so I finished making a pair of socks for My Granddaughter. I also finished at home 5 more colors of Mystical-Creation-Yarns scarves. Peaceful, Turtle, Temple, Bay Breeze, Russian Olive. I will be listing them later today.... I need to get mail and groceries today first.

Have a lovely week

Sunsets in Arizona

Working on another scarf. The sunset last night was so beautiful that I attempted to get a picture to share on blog. The mountain top from our back yard is 13 miles away.

Now, for back to work on scarves, knitting, wrapping yarn, and socks.

Home again Home again jig a jig

It is so nice to be home again. This week should be a little quieter. Getting our 1960 Ford Starliner ready for the Kingman Air Show. I will be attending with my husband and knitting away in the corner. It is nice to be able to do something while he is busy with his cars.

We went to LA last week to view his 1951 Ford four door, and he has put the clip on the 53 kaiser manhattan. Yes, he is really car crazy. I make him making fuzzy dice for each of his vehicles from angora with semi precious gems as the dice spots. Expensive but, he is worth it.

Working still on more great colors from Mystical Creation Yarns. That will keep me busy for another 2 weeks. I hope you all have a nice October karen austin www.scarvesforallreasons.com
