They are just what I'm looking for style-wise. Not too heavy or thick, not too dull or shiny. I am also very interested in the manufacturer of those boots.

I was just about to start a Chistmas-present-scarf using the Here and There Cables from Scarf Style, but your cables look much more relaxed and happy. Of course, I have the first Harmony Guide to Knitting Stitches but not the second one ... I suppose I'll just have to buy another knitting book, sigh. That cable scarf is lovely.

It's actually motivation, right? I was in school in Davis, and boy did I spend most of the day in the lab during summer. Got to get indoors before it gets really hot (7am?) and stay there until it cools off (9pm?). You could resort to hanging out in the T station for heat - don't worry, no one will think you're homeless with your fabulous handknits!

They make them now that don't use huge amounts of electricity - I'm thinking of getting one, only because getting fire wood has become the be-all and end-all of my existance, and I'm rebelling! I'll probably end up using the fireplace again this year, but only if I can find some resonably priced firewood (see, it's a never-ending thing in my life!) I have tons of recipes for fingerless gloves - it's my current obsession. What about a small electric heater?

Traditionally, from what I hear, vodka should be kept in the freezer anyway, so you're ahead of the game there. 2. I vote for the Jungle colorway for Alex, it does sound more exciting. Especially if you're trying to find him in someplace with tropical folia-- Uh, wait, that won't work... Oh well, you can find him easily in snow! 3. The scarf is *gorgeous*. 4. Cables? Couldn't that feel a little bumpy?? [g] Conversely, I suppose it could equally provide an eggcrate foam pad effect. 5. Love the boots!! And Shelley in the scarf. 6. Ditto the additional fall leaves pic. ;) 7. After reading AOL news article on the NE windstorm late this evening, I'm hoping all is well, you still have power, and aren't having to use any of these tactics out of immediate necessity! (OR weathercasters are frantically warning all of us we're going to get 'cold'. As in, it'll hit 30 some nights in the coming week in PDX. I'm sitting here going, "And this never happens in the Willamette Valley? Grief, people, where were you during the ice storm last winter when the airport froze in for 3 days? Duh, it's almost November.") (I'm *so* mature.) 1. Traditionally, from what I hear, vodka should be kept in the freezer anyway, so you’re ahead of the game there.

I am wearing my knitted sweater and socks - thinking about making fingerless gloves and have developed an unnatural love for a fleece lap robe. And if it gets really bad off I go to sit on the water bed and knit, do some cruzin around the web or watch tv. We aren't graduate students but believe me retirement income is just as bad - and when you live in a tourist area YIKES. DH keeps cranking up the heat - every time I walk by I turn it down - can you tell who pays the bills in this house ;) Next week we will be getting some split wood even if we have to buy some to hold us over. arrgghhh Of course that means that when it is 10 degree weather I will be opening the doors because the living room is too hot LOL We have a wood stove along with a huge pile of wood - that isn’t split because nephew broke the log splitter and didn’t say anything to anyone so now we wait for repairs.

I must say, I love my woodstove and I really, really love my DH who brings in piles of wood for me to burn! I vote for the feral jungle colorway…it sounds warmer.
