Clearly I need to be bringing more turrets to the table and I am so on it.
Not today, however. Or, tomorrow.
Actually the whole week is out for turrets, I’m afraid.
Tomorrow I board a plane at 6am. Destination: beach.
With any luck I will have some photographs to share, but in case I don’t– here’s some of what I would’ve posted on Friday for top 10 had I been thinking to do such a thing, which I wasn’t– but Tuesday could use some good loving, don’t you think?
TGIT, kids– t.g.i.t.

4. “Service rests on the basic premise that the nature of life is sacred, that life is a holy mystery which has an unknown purpose. When we serve, we know that we belong to life and to that purpose. Fundamentally, helping, fixing and service are ways of seeing life. When you help you see life as weak, when you fix, you see life as broken. When you serve, you see life as whole. From the perspective of service, we are all connected: All suffering is like my suffering and all joy is like my joy. The impulse to serve emerges naturally and inevitably from this way of seeing.” (Link takes you to the full essay, In the Service of Life by Rachel Naomi Remen via Andrea)

So yeah, I still lust after crazy gorgeous knitting and am in awe of the beautiful stuff people create, Gudrun (most especially) and YES– my HAT. IS. DONE. with a bit of emergency finishing by the fabulous Jen Elliot (Forrest’s mom) and I have cast on a second hat, people– I have CAST ON. Both my finished hat and the one on the needles are coming with me to OBX so chances are they may get some time in front of the camera– oh the excitement– I know, I know! I can FEEL your excitement from here . .
6. Why do I knit, you may wonder?
Because some day– SOME DAY — I will knit a pair of these:
Perambulation by Natalie Selles
And then? I will spontaneously burst into flames of happiness, die and be buried in them, red shoes and all.

Bisous, E
Oh, that sweater…I am jealous that you get some time to knit this weekend. Have a great time at the BEACH!
We miss you too, Mommy.
I so want to knit, as well, so I can create cozy things. Still, knitting eludes me, so I want to try for that red-headed stepchild, crochet! In the meantime, I've whipped up a gorgeous new autumn/winter scarf on my knitting loom – super easy.
Yes, I love the turrents! Maybe you'll catch a ghostly face peeking out a window…
Have so much fun in paradise, I mean, the lovely Nags Head! I wish I could click my heels and be there with some of the most magical women I know…so glad you'll be having fun and recharging and DANCING! xoxo
Recharge, relax, return!
ah, knitting…after much determination, many unravelled stitches and restarts I've finally managed the perl stitch. so what if my little sections of ribbing interspersed with long stretches of knitting make my scarf edges curl. I meant for it to look that way…enjoy OBX and your much deserved recharge on the beach… if only you get a little back from the tremendous amount of art, love and creative energy you give to us at Squam each year. xoxo
