Well, at least there’s something cheery about this dreary, wet Monday–4 oz of Falkland fiber in color "Pie for Everyone," inspired by peach, pumpkin, blueberry, pecan, and all the other pies that people seem to love in November.

In knitting news, I have, sadly, very little to show you. I haven’t touched Autumn Rose in a week because I need to decide whether I can fix it or if I need to tear out the neckband (again) and I just haven’t had the mental stamina for it.

I haven’t worked on my lace in the last few nights either because, well, I’m just a little bored with it (or, maybe more than a little), and again . . . no mental stamina.

I HAVE worked on my socks, which are now officially socks, even if they’re not finished socks. They do, however, have a complete foot, a heel, and about an inch and a half of the leg, which means that they’re nearing completion at some point or other.

I haven’t spun anything, either, since I finished plying my STR "Carbon" yarn. That, incidentally, is still languishing safely on its bobbin while I try to decide how to get it off . . . because, again, there’s that mental stamina problem.

On the plus side, I am feeling marginally better. My throat’s not as sore and I’m not quite so tired, even if I am still feeling a little light-headed. But I felt well enough to cancel the doctor’s appointment I had made–I called on Friday when I felt lousy and today was the earliest they could have fit me in, but since there are signs of improvement, I’d rather save the money at this point, you know?

But, the biggest plus?

This smiling face which can brighten the dreariest of Mondays. (And, trust me, behind the squeaky sneaker, his face is definitely smiling.)

And now, speaking of pie, I think I hear the pumpkin pie in the fridge calling my name….
