I always have mixed feelings at the start of the school year. I love having Mary home over the summer, but she always likes to get back to all her friends. The routine will begin and then we will be looking forward to leaves turning, Halloween, Thanksgiving and of course the holiday season in December. In Australia, Halloween was only observed by a few and it was the signal that the school year was coming to a close as the school year starts in February and ends in early December. But as the weather cools down here in New York, many knitters resurface and the knitting “season” begins in earnest.
I wish everyone going back to school a happy and productive year. And to all of you who have taken a break this summer, welcome back.
