If you haven’t stumbled upon Regina Spektor, I’d recommend you do so! Her music is sooo good. My favorite song of hers is “Hotel Song.” I’ve been listening to her a lot lately while knitting up a storm!!! Realizing that it’s already the end of October has sent me into the fury that I often find myself in this time of year. Around the beginning of September, I gingerly think ‘I’m going to make Christmas presents for everyone this year.’ Around Halloween, I start to panic… Every… Year. Anyway, here are some of the things I’ve been working on…

Other than knitting, I’ve been traveling a lot! I went to Bedford, PA to visit my sister. I was surprisingly impressed by all the shops in the town. It’s filled with antiques, country crafts, and consignment shops. We ate at a little cafe that totally reminded me of Alto Cinco in Syracuse, NY. I ate the best Pumpkin soup I’ve ever had there! I’ve also been going to West Virginia a lot lately which makes me all too happy! And somehow, I’ve gotten myself addicted to collecting antique hardware. I love the look of old hooks and knobs. My favorite place to get them is Anthropologie. More to come on what I’ve been doing with these knobs…!

Stay happy
