Bear Hat and Mittens


I successfully knitted a bear hat and a pair of mittens over the weekend and promptly gifted them to the preschooler.  She was thrilled even though she is battling another cold (preschool!!) and feeling under the weather. I hope I do not catch it.

I did a lot of hand washing and using hand sanitizer but I have a compromised immune system due to my autoimmune disease and the medicines I take.  Fingers are triple crossed I have dodged the germs!



Anyways, I am done with knitting little hats and mittens for now.  I consider these small projects her PRE- birthday gifts. 


What are you working on this week?

    Those are just too sweet! And, my granddaughter has a miserable cold as well (and I am just slightly glad that I am in PA and she is in MI this week!) Stay well!

    I love that bear hat (and wonder if I would look ridiculous wearing one as an adult)? It would probably be better to knit one for a child!

    That was so quick and adorable knitting, I am glad they were well received. I do hope that you don't catch her cold, that would not be a good gift back to you!

    Such a sweet hat and mittens. I see why she loves them. I always considered wee one "walking petrie dishes". Stay healthy, my friend.

    Oh those little garments turned out so cute! I'm with Bonny and wondering how I would look in a bear hat - lol. I'm plugging away on my Odyssey Shawl and loving it.

    Mmmmmmm... Why do you take care of her, since you have a compromised immune system due to your autoimmune disease and the medicines you take?????

    The hat and mittens are so sweet. I bet she looks adorable in the hat. I hope you can steer clear of the germs. There seem to be a lot of nasty viruses around. Sometimes I feel like I just about wash the skin right off of my hands. I've got two garter stitch projects going - easy knitting - a scrappy hitchhiker and (no surprise) a shawl.

    Oh dear. Lots of folks are sick around here. The barn kids have been missing classes the last two weeks. They are very fragile anyhow. Hope you look that child virus straight in the eye and scare it off. Im knitting the fingerless for Al, but I need more yarn tomorrow to keep on.

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
