Knitting environmental magazines with witches
I'm up early today. I decided to knit instead of going back to sleep after Fake Child arrived at 6 a.m. this morning. I am now over half way done on an orange dishcloth with a pumpkin picture on it. I started it the other night when my hands had nothing to do during a movie and I couldn't stand fidgeting anymore. I paused the movie and went upstairs to paw through my bales of yarn for something--ANYTHING--to knit. Purse? Don't have the right needles. Socks? Can't find the other ball of yarn (side note: found the yarn later. It turns out I already knitted one sock out of that particular yarn and had TOTALLY FORGOTTEN!!!) I found some orange dishcloth yarn and googled up a pumpkin pattern and--VOILA!--no more fidgeting! PS to this paragraph--I bought the needles for the purse and have started that too. Now I have a project for upstairs and one for downstairs. (The pumpkin dishcloth will be done soon)
Yesterday I bought two weird magazines: Mother Jones and The Futurist. I've never heard of either one, but I was on a hunt for a publication that featured several articles on environmental issues. Other Jim is taking AP Environmental Science this year and needs 40+ articles on environmental issues and most of them have to be articles culled from non-internet sources. We do subscribe to National Geographic, so that is a good source, but it won't fulfill the quota in even three months. So I checked out Barnes and Noble's extensive magazine display and came up with two. I'm rather interested in The Futurist. Maybe it'll spawn some sci-fi novel ideas (not that I would ever actually sit down and write a whole novel--see fidgeting above).
Today's Halloween Decoration Special Feature is a tribute to after-holiday clearance sales.
I snagged these beauties at 75% off at Target one year. Jim commented the other day that he likes the polka dot stem on the tall pumpkin. I'm glad that he did NOT say, "How did you get pictures of yourself on those pumpkins?" Har.
