Boy, working has certainly made September fly by. Lets hope October slows down. I’ll have to make more effort to make the time to enjoy. I have a list of things to do before winter, but having fun has to move further up the list.
Joining Ginny this week for Yarn Along, I have some shawl progress to share.
I’m on the final third of my shawl, starting the lace pattern. I’ll have to change the name of this shawl when I do the pattern. It’s going to be Danish in shape but with a traditional Shetland lace border. I love the soft scallop of the old shale pattern (a good example is here) I think I’m going to have to take it outside to get a good picture, we just don’t have enough light.
After the election, I’m going to start to read (and review) The Hour That Matters Most. It’s about the importance of having supper with the family. Should be a good read.
At Home With Us 
interesting read. i will check if the library has it…i LOVED The Family Dinner, but yet still cannot find time to make our dinners as lovely as she did. we eat. but it is sometimes hurried and take-out. sigh. i will check it out, and the shawl looks lovely.

Your shawl looks lovely, what an interesting colour! And the book sounds interesting, too. I’ve been meaning to have more proper dinners but so often we eat in front of the computer or we watch DVD. But in my defense we don’t have kids yet, so we’re only neglecting ourselves…still, not good.
I usually make our supper, but it’s in front of the tv more than I like. Right now my table is a mess because I haven’t been home and everyone’s been using it for a dumping ground. Once I find the table again 🙂 we’ll be eating there.
Thank you for reminding me of the importance of family dinners. We tend to eat in stages, and very seldom at the table… time to get back to basics. Your shawl is beautiful, can’t wait to see it finished!
Your shawl is coming along nicely! We need to do better about eating at the table and not in front of the TV.
Sounds like a good book, and the shawl is lovely!
