Knitting News


My stormy cardigan continues to make progress, I can go on and on and on about how I wonder if I have enough yarn but I won't do that to you.  Let's just say I'm still on the fence and it's going to be close.  It is what it is! 

I had to be at work super early (up at 4:30 a.m.) and I had close to three hours before the preschooler was up.  That is three hours of knitting time! 

This is my exclusive knit so that I can get to the sleeves.

What are you working on this week?

    Oh Karen...up at 4:30 A.M.? Bless your heart. But I know you enjoyed the extra knitting time. :) That was the silver lining in that cloud. :) I just finished up shawl #5 and will begin #6 today. And I know all too well that, "will I have enough yarn?" syndrome. Happens to me with every project I do. :)

    Hoping you win the yarn chicken game. 4:30 is EARLY, but I'm sure the extra knitting time was enjoyable. Maybe a nap is in order!!

    Very pretty cardigan. You can't go wrong with that color. I'm hoping you have enough yarn also.

    I love the color of this sweater! I continue to work on a baby blanket for a friend's first grandchild. I'm super happy with how it is looking!

    I hope the yarn holds out. Such a gorgeous color.
    4:30 is early -- even for me.

    That's such a lovely color! I always think I won't have enough yarn and I always have. Hope it works the same way for you.

    I'll cheer for enough yarn in your "will I have enough yarn-game?" The color of that sweater is so pretty - calming and soft. I hope you made it through the day after being up at 4:30 a.m. Whew! That is early.

    I love the colour, it's very pretty. I'm crocheting a virus shawl at the moment but like many crafters, I've a few other things on the go at once. One of those is a pair of knitted socks, which were working up too wide, so I've started again in a smaller size. Cathy x

    Wowza, 4:30 am?! I guess you have a commute to get to the toddler's house or her parents have one which is why you have to be there so early? You are a trooper and a blessing for that family. I gripe about having to do Safety Patrol for 15 minutes every fourth week, LOL.

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

Hopefulness

Image
  Good morning! This week has been busy with classes and routine doctor appointments. The arthritis doctor has a few tricks up her sleeve for some of my dry mouth issues (from my autoimmune disease - Sjorgren's Syndrome) that make me feel hopeful. What was the most important thing during that doctor visit is that I felt seen and heard. I am thankful for her and her team. Speaking of hopefulness, look at my daffodils sprouting up! Some of the daffodils are just starting and some already have a head start. I love winter, but I'm looking forward to spring. The crocuses seem to be taking their time this year, as well as the snowdrops (unless those pesky deer have eaten them, grr). Even though I am still knitting my baby blanket, I have gathered four skeins of potential socks to be and am dreaming of a wonderful sock frenzy cast on.

New Year

  Good morning! How are you? Happy New Year, may this year be full of blessings to all of you. Well now, I finally have an empty home after having our son, daughter in law, grandson and granddaughter here for six nights.  I am still experiencing fatigue and symptoms from the virus even though I am feeling better. It was a challenge hosting family while recovering. Also we babysat the kids overnight (!!) while my son and daughter in law went for little getaway. I am thankful and grateful my Aunt came over both days to help out with the granddaughter who never sleeps during the day. (snack-naps do not count!). They all left early in the morning, and while I was tired, sleep deprived and fatigued, I put away Christmas plus all the toys and doodads you need for babies. Today I am looking at a squeaky clean house. I am planning on reading books and falling asleep while doing so! My exercise routine is on hold as I slowly get better. Maybe next week I can muster up some energy for some yoga
