Knitting News


My knitting news is the same projects on the needles as last week with some progress. 

The True Colors shawl is the project that I work on in the evenings while watching TV.  I'm close to the color switch (main color becomes the contrasting color).  I'll be sad when I'm done with the pattern.  The fun of adding colors and watching the gradients is fulfilling as a knitter.


Of course I'm already thinking of another one, maybe to use up scraps....or maybe not.


The clover leaf shawl gains an inch or two per week.  I love having a lace weight pattern in the summer, in a project bag that is ready to go.  This is my babysitting knitting and my car knitting project.


The skein of fingering weight wool from my daughter and son in law in the photo below continues to wonder what I will make of it.  I'm leaning towards a cowl for me but haven't quite settled on THE pattern. 


What are you knitting or crafting these days?

    Your True Colors is GORGEOUS!!! I love it. I also love the delicacy of your clover leaf shawl. That is going to be an awesome summer wrap. I had hoped to finish the leg on my second sock last night...but my eyes were tired and I started zoning out and not paying attention...never a good idea when knitting.

    Love your True Colors colors! Would you share your clover leaf pattern? At the moment I'm working on a cardi and a pair of socks.

      If I write it up I will definitely share it. The stitch pattern is from a Barbara Walker book. The shawl is of my own inventions :)

    A shawl and a sweater are taking most of my time. I really should pay attention to the socks, too.

    I am knitting scraps into a cowl but making plans for - what else? - another shawl. I love to read how you enjoy your knitting.

    beautiful beautiful projects! Since we seem to so often gravitate to the same patterns....and your mojo is obviously alive and well and on overdrive, I'm seriously wondering if mine hasn't gone your way for a visit. Would you mind sending him home if you find him lurking somewhere?

    I'm loving your True Colors shawl. The colors you've chosen are 'my' colors plus I like the simple to remember/execute pattern with frequent color changes to keep it interesting. Definitely 'my' kind of pattern!

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! 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).
