It's November!

Last night we carved a jack o lantern and lit candles throughout the house. We watched Halloween and passed out candy. We actually had more than one group of kids this year! Neighbors had a party.

Anyway, It was a nice way to spend Halloween. Off the streets, away from Downtown crazy-ness.





I also finished my pair of TTL Mystery Socks!



Yay. I love them. I had been thinking that I would give them away since I went with the bigger size, but they fit me just fine and probably won't fit my friend's feet. I think I will be giving her another pair I made that are too big for me:

Beatrix



Hope you all had a wonderful Halloween.

stage 8 & 9 updates

Stage 8

Columbia once again with a terrific stage win by Cavendish yesterday. His lead out man, Ciolek, made it across in second place. Once again Kirchen ended the day in yellow.

I did manage to get some much needed knitting done on the clapotis despite a slight mechanical problem. Tangled yarn. I had to do some cutting and splicing. It has about a foot in length now. Not bad, but not good.



Stage 9

Today's stage was the first in the Pyrenees. It is time for the climbers and the overall GC contenders to make their moves. It was actually a quiet day for the favorites. None of them made a move, probably saving their legs for tomorrow's stage. There were a lot of attacks by others, however, and in the end the stage win went to Ricco. His second in this year's Tour. GC standings stayed about the same except for American, Christian Vandevelde of team Garmin-Chipotle moving into third.

Just like the sprinters in this stage, I fell back into the "autobus". I really need to get some knitting done on this scarf or it will never get finished by the end of the tour. I was distracted by a pretty sock. I started the second of my Beatrix socks for the SPEW KAL.
