Sunrises and Surprises

Seeing as how it is Monday morning, I thought I would share last Thursday's sunrise with you. It's the dawning of a new week. School, work, play, knitting and spinning all need to have their beginnings, just as the day has to have it's beginning. I like sunrises and enjoy watching them. Walking Cleo in the mornings makes for a perfect time to watch the morning colors. I don't get to see the evening colors very often as I am at work. It's not very often that I remember to take my camera with me on these morning walks, but on Thursday I did remember it and the colors were all so pretty.

On Friday night, when I got home from work, ES asked me to close my eyes and hold out my hands. He did this four times, each time he handed me something different: twice it was a book on the constellations, once a cd of Bob Marley which promptly went to "C" (he has already listened to it), the last time he handed me these two skeins of Malabrigo. One in the colorway Coral and the other in the Caribeno color. I asked where he had gotten everything and he said the Smithsonian was having a "garage" sale and he had picked the things up there. He wondered if he had gotten a good deal on the yarn and I told him he definitely did.

BTW doesn't the Coral color match the Thursday sunrise?

Now just to figure out what to do with these two skeins of silk/merino blend. I'm thinking a cowl. It would be nice and warm and soft up against my neck on those cold morning walks. So glad ES thought of this fun surprise!

Happy knitting and spinning.

Sunrise from the Sun-room


One of the things I will miss about my house is the views I have of the sunrises. This is yesterday's sunrise. Isn't it pretty?

The boys and I are busy packing, getting ready to leave tomorrow night for SLC. We will then fly out to DC Thursday morning, early. I am excited and I think the boys are too. ES has set us up to look at some houses, go to lunch with co-workers and do some sight-seeing. We'll see what else we can squeeze in there in the few days we'll be back there. It would be nice to visit one of the local yarn stores though. We will also have the opportunity to meet a couple J-b got to know on his mission, that will be fun.

I haven't done any knitting in the last two days. I have been spinning fiber to put with my silk for the challenge though. And it is almost done. I would kind of like to have it all spun before we leave tomorrow, but I don't think that will happen. Tomorrow is a busy day.

Happy knitting & spinning.
