Hello Needle Notes Pals,
Is it time to think of cool weather knitting?
I think we are all getting ready for a change of season and many are doing fall yard work, getting set for indoor chores and fun knitting.
[Bob has gotten all the tree trimming/clipping, blowing, sweeping and raking taken care of...what a great yard maintenance guy...and he vacuums and does laundry! Now he is ready for tennis and bowling to begin.]
I really appreciate the comments you gals have sent in.
There are more today.
Here in The Valley of the Sun, we are still sweltering, with just a small respite,
so heavy yarned items are still sort of scary/sweaty!
Done:
...blue/white scarves, two finished, which now need the fringe.
[thanks to Patti for the yarn!]
I am still working on the chenille and ribbon scarf.
Have a great start to your week!

I have been raking up leaves like crazy and putting them in my home made bucket sled.
I've got a whole basket full of neck warmers made for the kids at North Pole Elementary. Some of them are pretty wild. I have about 20 more to make before delivering them this fall.
I want to make a couple of knit dish clothes and crocheted pot holders for the Senior Center. I finally got the ones done for Butch and his family. I also made some crocheted grain heating pads like the ones that people sew, for Butch's Mom and Dad.

I finally tried the new self-striping yarn - very pretty indeed.
This was the ClothoftheWeek pattern (I think Sept 9). Maile has a lot of wonderful free cloth patterns at: http://freepatterns.k1p1keepingyouinstitchesstudio.com/

I have yet to find the right venue [blog/website?] for my scarves, necklaces and other items to sell for making money for donations to the critters. I will also sell gently used glitzy cruise clothes. If anyone has suggestions, send them to me. Thanks!
FYI
Dear Friends,Did you know that for the sake of human profit, dogs are trained for dog fighting by being beaten, chained and fed gunpowder, illegal drugs and even live animals -- and sometimes they are not fed at all for long periods of time? In the end, dogs that do not win are either killed or left to die horrific and painful deaths. I can't even imagine what these dogs must go through. Every animal deserves the right to live a cruelty-free life.
I just signed a petition to end this horrific practice, and I hope you'll join me in urging the U.S. Congress to support the Federal Dog Protection Act: http://go.care2.com/helpdogs
Thanks! B.
PS: I also believe that the lives of the children who are around fighting of dogs can be completely ruined, as they are hardened to the sadness that aninmals go through. In turn they themselves are completely altered for the rest of their lives. It is a crime aginst them as well as the animals.
