A Picture Says a Thousand Words

Sweater Squirrel

I laughed to myself when I posted this cute squirrel last night on Facebook.  I am always looking for clever things and poof there it was.  I posted it late so the views didn’t start coming in till this morning.  When I saw Mom this morning,  I said “hey, what did you think of my squirrel?” she just laughed and said “you and those squirrels.”  As I write, I believe the Knitting Squirrel has been viewed 865 times.  Only to be beaten by the first squirrel I posted in the early fall with 1,184 views.  Even my cute Brad Pitt picture only got 574 views!

So I have pondered this a good bit today.  Why does everyone love the squirrels?  Yes, they are a sign of Fall.  But think about it, they are busy little buggers.  Always working.  Have you ever seen a lazy squirrel? It seems  there is never enough acorns, and likewise, there is never enough time for knitting. Maybe that’s what we have in common.

Why do I think I  am always knitting but nothing is getting done?  That can’t be true because I have gotten the wreaths and the garland done for the shop window.  I have completed 3 stockings….(ok 2 1/2),  a pair of cute fingerless gloves, slippers that I frogged because I ran out of yarn, and I am sure there is something else I am forgetting.  Not to mention getting thru our 1st Black Friday weekend!  I bought yarn for two projects last night.  Mom didn’t say anything when she rang me up but I knew what she was thinking….  But I am headed out-of-town again so I need it.

When I think about our customers and what they have done over the past couple of weeks it’s amazing too.  I think everyone finished the sweater from the Kelbourne Woolens  Winthrop class.  June finished 3 large stockings (although I told her she would never get them done) with NO pattern..and they were all the same!  Wish I would have taken a picture of those.  A group of 5 or 6 finished the Nantucket Throw last Saturday.  I have no clue how many GAP-tastics are complete.   And the list goes on.

I guess my point is, and yes, I have one.  Sometimes when our eyes are bulging out of our head we need to stop and check the acorn pile.  We ARE getting things/knitting done!

Now 892!

Oh did I mention that I got the class schedule up for January?  Done!
