Thoughts on Fall

I'm really excited for fall. Fall means wool, wool means knitting! Yesterday my yarn came in for some gnome gloves I am going to knit Deanna. (although, I'm knitting these in cotton so that she can wash them and so they aren't itchy) I'm making a sample swatch right now. It is probably the hardest thing I've ever knit, because it feels like I'm using toothpicks to knit with (size 2) and my yarn is fingering weight. However, it is so much fun to knit and watch little gnomes appear! 

I'm not giving up on my story. I will finish it, even if it sucks. But I think like everything, it has good and bad parts. A blogging lady I have been getting to know through e-mail did a quick review of it and pointed out some things to work on. She was right--and I will keep going. I want to be a published author almost more then I want anything else. Even through I have written an e-book for sewing--I still want to write fiction.

How are you guys doing? Today my husband figured out that I've never before seen the X-files. And he owns the discography. So today we started with episode one. What have I gotten myself into?

i used to have the biggest crush on david ducovney (sp?) from x files when i was younger. i never even paid attention to the episodes. i just looked at him.

I've never seen the X-files, but it plays a big role in my family history, because when my 4th sibling was going to be born, my Mom told my Dad to get ready and call a babysitter so that they could leave for the hospital....and she left to get everything packed, and when she came back he was still watching the X-files and hadn't moved. :P
