Ditto is done!

It is finished! The ditto is done. I love it! The picture does not do it justice.
I used Seduce from Berroco yarns. It was wonderful to work with. It is a yarn, that needs to be by itself. You must put it in its own little baggie and not allow it near other yarns.
It tangles like crazy!

So where have I been you ask...... Facebook. I fell totally in love with its offerings and games. Caught up with some old friends and reconnected with distant cousins. I
have slowed down and returned to my normal self.
Also school has started and that in its self is time consuming. Open house is in a few days and I have been home today with a cold. But all is well, and I am on the mend. So I will be ready for open house.

The first day of fall is tomorrow and I look forward to the
cooler temps and color changes outside. This is my absolute
favorite time of the year. It so inspires to start new projects, take long walks and just enjoy the smells and sights of this time of year.
And speaking of weather, this has been the very worst year for my allergies! And speaking with many others, it seems its in the air(no pun intended). I decided to seek holistic help. I found a wonderful doctor, who is hopefully going to help me with all my issues. I am on a elimination diet this week. I have stopped all caffeine, sugar,dairy and wheat products. WOW, what a fun time that is! I am drinking almond and coconut milk. I don't care for the texture. And I found a drink that tastes just like instant coffee!!! Love it! Hubby and I went to Whole Foods on Saturday, to find many of the crazy things I have to eat. We enjoyed the visit and I amazed at what other food is out there! And It was so nice to go to the fish department and they knew where the fish came from and the amounts of mercury each piece may contain.
Now its back to knitting a new project. And there are many. I need to finish up my nephews skull sweater and mittens. And one of my sister in laws called and requested a scarf and mittens for a fund raiser at my nephews school. I took a picture but dropped the camera and think I may have broken it. So no pictures to share of the above projects. Also I found a sweater to make the hubby. We will see about that one. And the new baby in the family is due very soon, and I need to finish a blanket. Gee, not to many demands! I better get busy. Stop typing and Facebooking and start knitting!!!
