Now connected to my knitting world...

 

Hello there!

 

 

Did you miss me? I am sure some of you are thinking, "Why, were you gone?". I was! My love, my connection to my knitting community was broken. My laptop broke but is now back in my life and better then ever. Can I just say even though it was only a week and a half, I miss you all to bits?

 

 

One would think that with all the non-computer time that I would have loads to show you, but that is not the case. Then again it was only a week and a half. ;) Some new sock got started because...well because they are sock and I am a sock knitting addict.

 

 

Some lovely things came in the mail from a dear friend Sara in the U.K. All if these loves came in handy when I was seriously throwing an adult fit about not being able to visit with all of you.

 

I mean really could she have been more generous? She even included a skein of her own hand-dyed yarn (pink, blue and white) which she named Andi's Arizona Afternoon Tea. So many wonderful things, right? Sara if you are reading this- thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Now on to the rest of you. Again, I realize it has only been a week but I have not been able to catch up with all of you. How are you? Are you excited over Fall being here? Is your knitting hoping on the needles? Do tell.

 

 

As for me the desire to knit is increasing. I would like to cast on all the things, just not sure where to start. In the coming weeks I have a wonderful giveaway happening- think tea my friends. There is also a yarn review as well as general chit-chat. Oh and a new KAL is starting in the My Sister's Knitter group and it is all about Fall!

Enjoy a song and have the most wonderful of days!

 

 

XO,

Andi

Happy Sunday Sweet Andi! Lovely post today and I'm so happy that your computer has been fixed. Love those socks you are knitting! Opal yarn is so awesome. Happy knitting 😀

[MamaSue]

Missed seeing your post last week! Glad to see you are back. Love the sock yarn...self-striping yarn is so motivational!

[Jacqueline Webb]

So glad you are back I've missed you. Wasn't sure if you were unwell so sent get well vibes out. Then thought you may be on a little holiday so sent you happy holiday vibes. Didn't think about computer break downs. Any hoo glad you're back. The song is lovely I really enjoyed it. Gosh the shawl colour yarn is fabulous. Take careen joy the rest of the week.

One of the first things I do on Sunday mornings when I log-in to my computer, is to check your blog. I enjoy the musings, the pictures, the suggestions, the patterns, the yarn, the teas, the music, the suggested blogs, and the quotes in the top right corner! In other words, I love everything about your blog.

I appreciate your dedication to your blog. Thank you!

[DIane]

I was one of those worried about you. I'm so glad it was computer problems and not health issues.
I love the shawl you're working on -- the colour too.
You are so dedicated to your readers. I sure hope it isn't too much with all the things you need to buy for everyone.
Wishing you a really lovely week ahead in this delightful autumn!

Life without a laptop is unimaginable! I live in fear of mine breaking. Although, I do have a laptop at work, so I suppose I'd survive!
Of course you had to cast on those socks. Such perfect colors for fall.

[Dee]

I'm so glad you are back. I missed seeing your post last week. Glad it was nothing more serious keeping you away from blogland.

[Linda]

I was gobsmacked, I'll tell ya - when I went to your blog last week and there was no post! I was like - oh, hope she is okay - and that it is something simple - or you were on a lovely vacation!!

My question - where do you purchase that Opal yarn from? I want some and can't seem to find any online sources!! And what shawl is that in the photo?

I would have died if my computer was gone for 1 1/2 weeks!! so so glad all is right in your world. Welcome back!!

[steph]

as much as i love to travel (and actually DO it rather a lot), not having access to my computer and blog friends sort of messes up the rhythm of my life! So glad you have your rhythm back!!!

[Jane]

I missed you Andi. I am just glad the computer had difficulties and not you! The socks look like fun. I just cast on a pair of socks out of Opal - the skein I won from your blog. Both yarns are making me smile. Have a good week.

[Lisa]

I did wonder where your blog was last week! Glad you are ok!

What lovely friends you have for giving such great gifts. OH! I forgot to tell you I got your tea and it's amazing :)

Life is stressful over here, but settling down. I am glad the weather is cooling off a bit cuz I'm sick of the humid heat of Texas.

[Stefanie]

Aw, dang computer, but yay on dang, you got hooked up! Cute boxes of tea. I covet that Opal yarn; I love it. I love Fall; today we had a sporadic moment of rain; it was so weird. I just put together some buttermilk waffles batter; GTG check on it. TTYL darlin'.

[Sanja]

I missed your post last week. I am glad you are back! Technology is a pain I am always having issues with my laptop. Yay for the new KAL. Hopefully I will find some time to join this one:).

[Kat]

Welcome back! It looks like you got some lovely mail packages this week, and your socks are looking delightful, as always :) That's such a great fall-colored yarn, I know the socks are going to be fantastic!

[Shannon]

I hope to join the ranks of sock-knitting-addict soon as I'm getting ready to cast on my very first pair this week:) Going to go and check out your KAL now!!

[Julie]

I did miss you last week Andi, and I'm so glad you are back!

[Gail L.]

I don't comment often but wanted to tell you that I missed you last week. Your blog is the one I always check on a Sunday morning - I wondered if you were okay. Love your posts - always so calming ...... knitting and tea, 2 of my favourite things.

[Kiwiyarns]

Glad you got your computer fixed. Isn't it awful without access to the online knitting world! Your new projects look lovely as always.

[Julie]

So glad that your laptop got fixed and you are back to the swing of things! Your shawl and sock are looking lovely, and what an amazing package- so generous of Sarah! And I haven't heard of Dresses before- so good!!

[Tahnee]

So happy to have you back! <3 The KAL sounds wonderful, as ever, I'll join!

[Cimorine]

I know what you mean. When i dont keep up with the blogs or podcasts I feel out of it. Christmas knitting is in full swing, and I've been working on a giant griffendor hoodie and a lace shawl. I'm also involved in swaps again. Sonething about fall just makes me want to knit like crazy!
