Busy Hands


I am on chart C of the periwinkle frost shawl!  Why am I so excited to announce this?  Well it is because this is the last chart of the pattern.  Yep.  I am almost done with this shawl.


That means that I can wear this shawl within the next two weeks.  Unless I get sidetracked by another project. (who me?  sidetracked?)


I could knit this pattern again and again and again.  But not soon.  I have some other ideas swirling in my head of what to knit next.  Of course there are many shawl patterns just waiting to be casted on.  However for now I will keep diligently knitting on this one.

    I can't wait to see it done. As soon as I finish some of my WIP's, I'd like to start a shawl. Blessings.

    Wow - keep focused! Only a little bit more to go. Glad that you liked the pattern - your enthusiasm for it had me download the pattern! I know you'll block this, but I really like the undulations in it right now.

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).
