A Bright Sunny Day

    A bright sunny day but our refrigerator has a small problem...needs a refill of coolant.  It's an under counter model, small but big enough for us especially since we do have a separate freezer.  Jeff finally found the parts for it yesterday and will attempt to change the line today.  Glad it's not a 90+ day outside so things are holding on pretty good.
   Friends who live in Florida made it thru Irma without major damage.  Those that evacuated are headed home to check out the damage (mainly lost roof tiles and water around the house) and those who stayed are living on temporary 'islands'.  I hope somebody sends some photos so I can post them here.  (Here that, Tim?)  Glad they made it OK. A friend in South Carolina also got hit, with trees down and water damage.  All these lucky folks have great Guardian Angels around them protecting them from harm, don't they?  But I'll still stick with the snow.  At least you can move it!
    With summer over, sweaters have started selling in the shop again.  My red, white and blue V-neck cardigan(Braves or Red Sox, depending on where you live)  got a lot of compliments before selling so I've got another one growing on the needles.  And most of the Flowers and Lace cardigans have sold so one of them will have to be next.  I finally finished a Pin-stripe V-neck cardigan (Yankee) with lots of 'help' from the puppy, Zoey.  Seems she loves the yarn and needles that it was on.  She tried to chew the tips of the US7's but the Rainbow wood interchangeable needles (from KnitPicks) were too hard for her to damage.  Unfortunately, the tips of the bamboo US5's got chewed up pretty badly.  I had to sand them down before I could finish the sweater.  I've also got a project bag on bamboo US 11's with cotton Sugar and Crème yarn that Zoey seems to have a crush on.  She's stolen the yarn a couple of times and since it's worked with 2 skeins at a time and she only takes 1, she's managed to make a mess!  Took a lot of time yesterday to detangle the yarn.  I was not happy!  Jeff just caught her with my old 6" wooden ruler!  She managed to pick it up off of the end-table.  Luckily, she just got started chewing one end...and she started at the beginning of it!
  Time to get back to knitting!
