As some of you know, I am a software engineer by profession. Spending 10 to 12 hours a day staring at computer screens at work does not make me want to hop on the computer again once I get home. Hop into bed? Yes. Hop on the computer? No. So that has kind of put a crimp in my having time to update my blog, as well as access and comment on your blogs. I will catch up. I promise.<\/p>\n<p>The yardwork? Well&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/backyard-1.jpg\" title=\"Backyard 1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/backyard-1.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"Backyard 1\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/backyard-2.jpg\" title=\"Backyard 2\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/backyard-2.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"Backyard 2\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Now, from looking at these pictures, you may find it hard to believe that this is the accumulation of leaves we have in our backyard in less than 24 hours. But it is. Mr. Penney and I spent quite a bit a time on Saturday getting the leaves away from the house and making everything nice and clean, to wake up to this. It is not a surprise to us, just a big time sink. All of the time saved the rest of the year by having\u00a0a wooded lot is spent during this time of year. Sure you don&#8217;t want any leaves, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/akamaiknitter.com\/\">Opal<\/a>?<\/p>\n<p>As you can see from Roseann&#8217;s prize, I am still doing some weaving. I am also doing some knitting.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/basketweave-rib-sock-1.jpg\" title=\"Basketweave Sock 1 done\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/basketweave-rib-sock-1.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"Basketweave Sock 1 done\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The first of the Basket Weave Rib socks are done, and the second one is well under way.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/tannenbaum-sock-still.jpg\" title=\"Tannenbaum sock still in play\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/tannenbaum-sock-still.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"Tannenbaum sock still in play\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And I am still working on the Tannenbaum sock. Yes, it is my own design. I will write something up about it once I get this first sock finished.<\/p>\n<p>I am also gathering together goodies for the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ravelry.com\/discuss\/sheila-rovelstad-designs\/388469\/1-25\">Winter Wonderland Swap <\/a>\u00a0(Ravelry link) organized by <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.pheelya.blogspot.com\/\">Pheelya<\/a>.
