The cutest
I am just about to put more needles to work..
I found the cutest pattern for two of my cousins. I will have just as much fun knitting
it up as they will playing with it.
It will be my first felting project..
here is the sneak peek.
if it works out well, next will be horses for my brother.

as beautiful as a summers day
What a good start to autumn! The weather- strange for October, but I welcomed it very much.
This made alot of learning time outdoors for the first 8 days of October! We took several walks, a different place each day.
The colors are pretty.
The leaves are falling fast.
I got to go to 2 history- re-enactment festivals!
Thinking about it right now, I have done things I never have before.
here is my list:
I took a short elephant ride
I watched medieval combat
I had 2 picnics in one week in October
I saw a sort of Shakespeare play
I pet a buffalo
I watched how a glass marble is made
I watched a (pretend) fencing match in person
In my Shakespeare class we read this sonnet..It was rather humorous, you had to be there!
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date . . . .
the 80 degrees this week made me think of this line.

wooly thoughts
I just wrote a composition about animals getting ready for winter. I remembered the wooly bear caterpillar. I read that depending on how his stripes are it will be either an easy winter or a hard winter.
I saw one last year on a nature walk, so I should go find one again and determine whether old man winter will be gentle or harsh on us. Today, it's time to get out the hot apple cider and cookies. It's only September and 55 degrees. I have to get my socks done!

animals and math
So that I don't forget some of the things I have learned this week, I decided to write about it here.
The other day, we read about a coati. After we read about an animal we don't know, we look on youtube to see if there is one in action. Here is one of the videos we found. You will have to look yourself and see if you can find the video of the coati taking a girl's sandwich away on the beach, that one was quite funny. The coati looks like it has alot of cheek, and you'd either find him annoying or hilarious!
This week, we also read about a bumble bee bat, who's home is in Thailand.
I just cast on 223 stitches to start up my first sweater! I am looking for as many notes I can
find from other people who have tried this pattern.
It seems that some have
made modifications. The pattern I chose is from here, which is from Europe. So translating it may make it hard to understand.
I think I've got it.. but I think I may have to learn more algebra
and pythagoras theorem
for when I get to making my own modifications.
I am excited to learn!

BTW, it is NOT the sweater above.. my mom thought that of that, to post an ugly sweater.
We did have a good laugh, and good time looking at lots of ugly sweaters.. I hope that my
sweater does not turn out ugly.. you'll just have to keep posted.
