Knitting News


The sweater is off the needles and currently soaking in the sink.  I'll have the finished photos to show you next week.  I'm still in the midst of family in my house and the smallest tasks take me forever to get to because I'm doing something else.

Looks like they will be moving into their new home sometime early next week?  No one's sure if their belongings will be there though!


I was excited to capture the light of October a day or two ago - I love this part best when autumn rolls around.  The shifting light and the shadows that are cast during the day.  Bring it on!!

    I love the many photos that you have shared of your sweater. The color looks a little bit different in each one, and always beautiful. I'll look forward to seeing blocked photos. Hope all goes smoothly with the move and they get to move their belongings in, too!

    Oh that sweater. It is a simple masterpiece. I LOVE it. I do notice the light this time of year. It is spectacular. Even fireman noticed the pre-sunset light the other day. Full moon tomorrow

    How wonderful to have spent some quality time with your daughter and son in law. I hope all goes well with their move and that all their belongings arrive in time for them. It will all work out in the end. Beautiful sweater, a lovely knit.

    I'm not sure what our new home will bring in regards to lighting, but our previous home demanded a change in laying on the couch in the early morning hours because of the way the light streamed into the house. LOL! This house is full on east facing with only a double window in my sewing room, so not a lot of early morning laying down in there!

    Love your sweater. I've been thinking of knitting myself one but... the amount of stockinette it would take to make one my size.... as much as I love the zen of stockinette... I don't know. Can't wait to see yours blocked and buttoned. Love the color! In this post, it looks like 'porch ceiling' blue. Beautiful!

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! I finished the socks!! 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).
