Knitting News


My knitting news feels like non-knitting news but this is all I have this week.  First off, I am nearly done with the body of my Felix sweater - I started the ribbing at babysitting yesterday and soon I'll be casting off and picking up a sleeve.  Delightful!

This cardigan has been my babysitting project so I'm working on it once a week. 


Ah, the purple sweater.  I'm half way through the second sleeve (yay!).  I'm sure the sleeve will be finished by the end of the week.  Maybe.  I do love this project and I'm excited to finish it and block it.  I know it will 'grow' a wee bit because of the super-wash wool.  I hope the results match my expectations.


What are you working on this week?

    You'll be finished with two great sweaters soon, and plenty of winter left to wear them!

    No knitting here... -smile- None of the usual crafts. At this time, my "Artistic" needs, are satisfied, by the fun of changing (big-and-little) things, about my "Blog Look." -smile-

    And for now, this is satisfying. To each, their own. -smile-

    I'm impressed with your sweater progress. I'm knitting on the ever-loving, ever-lasting shawl and a scrappy hitchhiker. As soon as my back tolerates, I need to get back to the baby sweater. I'd sure like to finish in time to give it to the baby's parents at a baby shower in March.

    Your sweaters look great! I just finished a large cowl and I'm about to give in to a severe case of startitis ;-)

    Wow, two sweaters at once that would be a years worth of knitting for me. Like you I have two projects nearing completion, I am on the final few rows of a second sock and my daughters tunic is growing too.

    Two beautiful sweaters almost finished! I'm curious about what color your Felix is. On my screen, Felix is purple while the "purple" sweater is a dark charcoal gray. Perhaps thats a sign I need to clean my screen! 😳

    I am nearly finish with a cowl for myself! It seems I can't get away from them! Today I visited Purl Soho for the first time and came back to the apartment with gorgeous soft wool for a hat. I had to drag myself away from the store, all of the yarn was just divine!

    I really the tones of your sweater yarn. I'm blocking a shawl! Moved it to our bedroom because I don't trust Mortie and Minnie. They both tried to attack the blocking wires when I was weaving them in. Mortie tried to paw a shawl end too!

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).
