Ho ho ho!

I have been knitting exclusively on the husband's socks.  Steady progress is being made and I have turned the second heel and started the gusset.  I have high hopes that the second sock will be done today and then I can get back to focusing on me.

 What are you working on this week?

    Very nice socks! And green!!! I'm knitting green socks too, but slowly as I've been doing more baking. I need to clean, but I'm not too interested in that - lol.

    Selfish Knitting Season is always sweeter after a period of gift knitting! May those socks go quickly!

    I’m working on keeping one foot in front of the other and making it to Friday afternoon! Wish me luck.

    That sock patterns looks very similar to one I have used, a lovely quick knit from memory. I expect you have finished it now the speed you are knitting at! I have been making some more needle felted decorations and have made a hat. Now I need to get offline and start making a pizza for my son to take to his Explorer Scout Christmas Party this evening.

    Soooo sorry you only have snow flurries! I'd send you some snow if I could. -smile- Snow wishes will have to do.

    But you wouldn't want our rather frigid, to me anyway, temps. We are looking at night lows of 2 degrees, 5, and 7... That's cold to me! Not to people in other parts though I know.

    Perhaps your flurries will really develop into something else.

    Or if not, guess your best bet, is to watch Christmas Movies, with snow of course.

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).
