Would you Like to Meet for Coffee?

Fall is in the air.  It is so nice to feel that autumn is here.  The nights are cooler and the air is so fresh without the heat of summer.  I really enjoyed yesterday with the overcast clouds.  It reminds of of those wonderful years I spent in Gig Harbor on the Puget Sound.  I love the rain.

I am still working on my knitted afghan and I finished my moebius scarf but I ran out of time and energy to show the picture of it.  So, instead here is a quick, fun project that you can do.  It's knitted stars and they are so much fun to make.  They are made on DPN (double pointed needles) and you can use sports weight or DK weight yarn.  You only need a little amount so it's a good project to use up odds and ends.

Stars are popular at Christmas time but you can also use them anytime of the year in different color schemes.  Here is the pattern:  

Supplies:
1 set DPN size 3
small ball of sport weight or DK weight yarn
darning needle

And the finished product!

I hope you enjoy this project.

Now for my invitation to you.  I will be in England the latter part of October.  I am so excited for this trip.  My daughter is taking me on a three week journey through England and France.  We will be staying with some dear family friends while in England.  I know I have a lot of blog friends in the UK, so, if you are close to the West Midlands (Bromsgrove, Rubery, etc), I would love to meet you for coffee.  My treat!  Just comment or e-mail me.

There's lots of more news about this adventure that I can share with you at a later time.

I hope you each have a great week and I would love to hear from you if you have the time.

blessings to all of you,
Pat
