Those berries look absolutely delicious! I really had to watch that I didn’t start drooling on the keyboard. 🙂

I think you have a great plan for your holiday knitting! I have in-laws that do the same thing.

Wow, the socks look great, but OMG blackberries!

I must make my favorite blackberry cake today. It is settled. 🙂

Oh, that’s good, starting your Christmas knitting already.

OK, now I have to go and google “star toe of three points”. Heh, I can’t even properly graft a toe… Oh, and Marion berries. They look yummy…

Good news about Maxine. Despite the fall-colored pines, the cross-stitch is lovely. I used to do lots of cross-stitch and am planning to have one framed very soon for RJ’s room.

I really like the light-colored sock yarn. It seems more unusual compared to other sock yarns. Beautiful Stanfield 27 socks, too.

I am jealous that you are reading. I hope to get some fun reading in this summer too. I just got “Cheaper by the Dozen” from the library (the Gilbreth’s lived in Rhode Island for a time and my good friend studied Lillian as an important female historical figure).

I’m really glad that the bunny found a good home.

I’m so glad to read that everything has worked out better for Maxine. There have been a couple of news articles on how the mortgage crisis is really hurting the domestic animal population…. Of course, I don’t know if this was Maxine’s former owner’s issue or if she was just a bad pet parent.

I don’t comment often on your blog but I just want to say that I think you do beautiful work.

I love your Bit of Random!

Here’s hoping Maxine gets a better deal (like a loving home) out of her foster situation. Dig out from an enclosed patio. As The Church Lady used to say, “How convenient!”

Good on you for getting a jump on the holiday knitting “orders.” I have lily pond and will be keeping an eye on how yours knits up.

Oh yeah, I get the cross-stitch bug every couple of years too! Usually when it’s too hot to hold wool in my lap. 😉

And I for one think that your multi-colored “evergreens” are completely charming. Call it artistic license. 😉

Wow, I hope that Maxine ends up in a home that’s better for her than her first owners.

Maybe you’re depicting dead pine trees in your cross stitch? They sometimes turn red then….

Bravo for getting a jump on Christmas knitting. I’ve been considering that recently myself 🙂

Brenda- I used to do alot of holiday knitting for other people, then I realized I wasn’t getting the things done that were important to me, so I don’t knit for ANYONE any more.

I have a number of x-stitches, most are an autumn theme, I love yours.
