I remember last year September I saw the rain? It has been no rain for over a year. Because of hot and dry heat, CA been fighting for the fire, I'm gad to its raining hard tonight!

And I been tagged MEME again by my dearist kntting friends Kyle and Kenny. Seems like a everybody been taged MEME by the knitters, I can not find somebody to tag them! So if youguys what to do Meme go head! If youguys didnt seen my Meme before, I did copy and past the old post so youguys read about me.

Hey, Charles! That cable scarf is fabulous. Those yarns from the dyeing class are very nice too. I was watching an episode of Knitty Gritty that I recorded the other morning and whoa, hey, there's Charles! It was fun to see you sitting on the Knitty Gritty Couch and knitting with Vicki. How much fun was that? Have a great week, I enjoy reading your blog.

I do like the Irish Hiking scarf pattern ; it's a nice quick and flashy gift for people and is fairly gender neutral.
