Neiman's says COZY KNITS are in for FALL.......

wow, just found this Neiman note in my inbox this morning......so get out your sticks and string.....
and click here




for some inspiration......
this is a knitted dress from diane von furstenberg.....Love the gauloshes, too!


Fall is just around the corner, time to take your knitting into high gear....


I am working on the rib tunic from Vogue Knitting Fall 2007, and using annie
blatt angor anny....in a pale gray green.

Have not made much headway....am still working on my aunt's estate paperwork......What a mess?


Which brings me to my next point......get thee to an attorney, find a form online, but organize your effects so those near and dear don't have to do it....At the minimum get a three ring binder and put your important papers in one place....all bank records together, stock records together, deeds to property, titles to cars, boats and other vehicles......Write down what you would like for your funeral, so your loved ones are not guessing or arguing over what to do..........it is hard to make these decisions for someone else, when you are so sad.


If you told someone they could have something after you die, then write it down....so they get what you want them to have........or put a note taped under the item.......it helps. Otherwise let's face it, anyone can say anything......which is worth nothing.........after you are gone and can't verify it....oh well. These are just some of the things that have run through my mind, during this process.


I am buried in papers, and now buried in my aunt's papers as well.....and wondering, if I have a tree's worth here in my home.....and I have clutter issues of my own.......LOL! It is sort of upsetting to be organizing her things, when I do not have time to organize my own........but, it has sure been a wake up call for me......as I know, if I croaked in the middle of the night, my family would be cursing me out........and hey, who could blame them.....because, I am not organized for life, let alone upon my death. LOL!


Here's hoping you are all knitting, while I am sorting through papers....papers, papers.......and more papers!
SMILES TO YOU.......
