the 3 things i'm grateful for this week are:
1) it's october! i get to celebrate my favorite holiday for the next month!
2) a very productive weekend of craft projects, baking, football, and halloween decorating and movie watching!
3) with the help of my lovely friend c, i got back into knitting and actually have a project to do now (which i hope will keep me going and get me beyond the hopeless-beginner level!). pretty excited about it. do any of you knit?! it's such a calming activity...
here's to another grateful week.

Aw, how lovely! Hocus Pocus is definitely my favorite Halloween film. I quote it all the time. And the word "amok" will never ever be the same!
ReplyDeleteI've been inspired to take up knitting lately - it seems like such a calming, autumnal sort of activity. I used to crochet but was never very good at it, unfortunately!
lol "amok" - top 5 moments in the movie.
ReplyDeleteknitting IS so calming. it's a little tricky at first, but then you ease into it. i am far from an expert, but i still really enjoy it nonetheless!
Yay knitting! Welcome back! This October marks my 6th year of knitting and I can't imagine life without it. I highly, highly recommend a visit to Loopy Yarns at Dearborn and Polk. It is easily the best yarn store in the city. I would also recommend visiting Ravelry.com if you haven't already. It is incredibly inspiring to see what other knitters are creating. It's also a really good place to turn for help.
ReplyDeletethanks, megan! i will absolutely check both of those out, thanks for the advice (and the comment!!!)
