Purple Hitofude Complete


The cardigan is done!  Now all I need is some cold air to wear it :)


I wish that the body of the sweater was longer but I haven't the heart to redo and add some length, maybe sometime in the winter but for now this sweater is complete.


Ravelry notes are here

    It's beautiful and I think the length is great--sort of 'young' and hip looking. Longer might look more matronly. Just a thought. That color is so yummy!

    If I lived next door to you I would raid your chest for that cardigan and since I'm short you wouldn't even have to lengthen it. ;) I love it Karen and it's in purple!

    I am so impressed your knitting needles must be on fire you knit so quickly. The colours and the style are wonderful, perfect for the cooler weather.

    So beautiful! And I love the color - it looks great on you. I always fear my sweaters will be too short but then I end up making them too long!

Weekends

My weekend happily contained: -wearing the above woolens all at the same time without being hot -so many walks and taking in the changing leaves. -a leaf shower on Saturday-the wind swirled the leaves off the trees up in the air to float down -changing screen savers to autumn themes! -a craft fair where my husband and I say "we could make that", but we don't. -french fries at the craft fair -scrambled eggs and toast for dinner because we were lazy. -football season has descended in my house. he was in the front room watching whatever is on today -I sat in the family room and watched A Tree Grows in Brooklyn .   Now I want to read it again. -Oh!

So I wound up about six skeins of yarn and have three projects ready -started a cowl for me in fall colors (I hope to finish before fall ends) -enjoying Spirits of Joy .  Hannah graciously had a one day free sign up for her birthday at the end of September which I luckily saw on Twitter.  Than...

  Good morning to you! How are you? I'm excited about my hat that I've been knitting enjoying the sea of stockinette stitches. When I first started the hat I thought it would be too small, now I wonder if it will be too big. Gah. I will find out soon I guess. I wish the photo about showed how beautiful the colors are in real life, you'll have to trust me on this! Below is my next knitting project, the habitation throw . I will definitely use the pink and gray, I'm still not sure about that purple, I might have a look-see in my stash and do another ponder about that color. I chose this pattern because I can use up some of my stash and I adore Helen Stewart's patterns. What are you working on this week? Also: I will probably not be posting this Friday and the following Monday because of my family visiting. I hope to be back next Wednesday (unless I change my mind).
