"What???????????" asks my mom

I have been outed by my mother. She wrote, "I know you have been doing something since October 17th!!!!!!  Keep us informed." I think she thinks I am a lazy blogger, or maybe that I am keeping something from her, or maybe that I died. Well, two out of the three accusations are true. I have been lazy in posting my new soft-as-silk natural sweater. Soon I will knit the collar and then the button band . . .button, button, who's got the button? I am hoping they will arrive soon so I can wear this sweater over the holidays. Well not in the Caribbean, but when I come home. 

I have little time to knit lately, but I did start the Drops Apricot cardigan that gave some people some confusion--hoping to avoid too much confusion. Then I started swatching for a pair of socks to knit on my trip. Knitting socks on the beach while I listen to "I Feel Bad About My Neck: And Other Thoughts on Being a Woman" by Nora Ephron and then Steve Martin's "Born Standing Up." Good times. Love those audiobooks for knitting and reading. Well, Mom I hope that satisfies your curiosity. No posting in a month. Woo, pretty sorry shape, I am in.  Happy Thanksgiving everyone and yes, Eilene I know I owe a picture of the brown cardi, soon I promise. I just need one good hair day.

I'm glad your mom spurred you into posting. The red cardi is looking nice. Happy Thanksgiving to you too!

Hi Brenda. I found your blog while trying to find info about yarn shops in Lyon as I will be visiting a friend there in the new year. If you have a moment I wonder if you could possibly tell me a bit more about yarn shopping in Lyon. Are there any good yarn shops there? Can you remember the names of any of them? I love visiting local yarn shops when I go to another place! Thanks, Helen
