Update
Well, the calendar posts keep coming, and I can’t tell you how thrilled that makes me. And, here I was afraid that I’d only get about three entries, but no! Lots of them! From bloggers I’ve never had the good fortune to “meet” before, which is even better. There are almost 100 comments telling me about the posts, and I’ve seen some around that I DON’T have comments from . . . Please, if you want to be in the contest, be sure to leave me a comment on the Contest post! Otherwise I can’t guarantee that you’ll be entered in the actual contest drawing.
Speaking of calendars, I’m trying to decide which one to get for myself this year. I already have my Peter Simon Martha’s Vineyard calendar for the office, without which life would be incomplete. (I’ve had them hanging on my walls since I was in a dorm room in the late 1980s.) But, for my bedroom? Over the years I’ve had the Deborah Dewit Marchant Reader’s Calendar, which I love. Or a Carl Larsson calendar, because both of them are so cozy and homely. This year’s Sierra Club is certainly beautiful. Anselm Adams is never exactly hard on the eyes, either. Norman Rockwell is sweet. Of course, it’s hard to go wrong with Georgia O’Keefe….
I wouldn’t want you to think that I haven’t been knitting, though. I showed you my finished Clapotis last night. Well, here’s a status shot of the back of my sweater. I tweaked the color a bit, to get it closer, but it gives a good look at the oh-so-pretty cable. Yum!
Do you know what else occurred to me? It’s November and I haven’t started my Christmas shopping yet. This may not sound surprising to many of you, but I give myself a deadline of Thanksgiving every year, and . . . it’s only two weeks away! Uh-oh!

Mary wants to know…
- Do you keep a list of books to read? No.
- Where do you keep your list (computer, PDA, paper, etc.)? Well, I keep it, um, no, it’s over . . . oh, wait! I don’t have one!
- How often do you refer to your list? Every time you go for a new book to read? When book shopping? Or? Since I can’t seem to locate it, clearly, I don’t reference it much at all . . . Seriously, I don’t keep a list of books to read. I do have a couple waiting in my Amazon shopping cart, but otherwise, when I’m shopping, I browse; and when I’m looking for a new book to read, I browse my own shelves. No TBR pile to speak of.

Just get a calender for every room, that way you won’t have to pick just one!
Oh my… I never thought that a Carl Larsson calendar might exist (something looks wrong with that word)!!! I checked amazon.de and they do have it too… of course the european/german version has a different cover LOL.
Guess I’ll order myself one
Cheers Eva
Oooh, pretty Clapotis. I still haven’t knit one… I must surely be the last. I have some Four Play, though — hm. LOVE LOVE LOVE the sweater (did I say LOVE?)!
Clapotis is purdy. I also am madly in love with your cabled sweater. It’s gorgeous and the cables stand out beautifully. OOOOH.
I love the teapot calendars. Each month, a beautiful usually antique teapot in a lovely setting. A nice background for reading and knitting!
The cable on that sweater is fantastic!
Do what I do, buy one, lose it, buy another one, lose that, buy yet another one and find the other two. THEN lose all three again. Voila – three calendars and yet you get to pick a fourth. Frustrating, yet fun at the same time! ;o)
That sweater is gorgeous. It’s making want to cast on another project. (Like I don’t usually.)
You don’t keep lists and yet you know you have 27 unread books in your library? Well, 27. I guess that’s not that hard to track. Don’t mind me, I was bitter with jealousy for a moment. My unread books are getting out of hand and yet…..and yet….I bought two on Tuesday.
Just to throw another suggestion out there to you… look at http://brushdance.stores.yahoo.net/pegrwiofnawo.html
i can guarantee the november image is lovely…
and wow, some great cables!
I already have my calendar for work – it’s a little calendar of vintage cat posters. Why, yes, many of them ARE black cats. How did you guess???
By Thanksgiving? Wow. Actually, I got my dad and stepmom out of the way in August at an art fair – they’re the hard ones to shop for.
