Meanwhile, I've been looking all over the place for this Knitting Calendar. I've checked out the local Barnes & Nobles, and Borders - not there. Looked at Annapolis Borders when I went to the knitting group meeting - not there. Sigh. I want to be sure to grab this before it gets all sold out.

And, I've been working hard on the cardigan. Got both sleeves worked up and almost finished with the 2nd sleeve - this is record time for me. Would it be too much to hope that I'll get it all completed by end of today? Just as weather is turning cold . . .

This weekend there will be a bazaar. It's a great opportunity to try out the food, get some of the nesting dolls and other items that are good for Christmas presents, hear Russian poetry recited, and hear folk and sacred music (by Carmina at 8pm, Saturday.
