Knitting News


I have to confess that all of my waking hours are spent knitting my yoke sweater.  Last night I finished the color-work and now I'm on the plain old stockinette knitting.  You know what that means,  I can read and knit at the same time.  Knitting bliss!

What have you been working on this week?

    Just beautiful! I've been working on taxes this week, so my knitting time is way down!

    I really, really love the colours in this one. The complementary contrasts look fantastic, and it reminds me so much of autumn - pumpkin, blue skies, white clouds ... it's gonna be so beautiful when it's finished.

    This sweater is simply gorgeous. I am working on shawls until I figure out which sweater pattern to use for a gray sweater. I should get going before the warm weather arrives.

    Lots of knitting and ripping here, to, since we are kinda home bound thanks to the corona virus in our area. Love that sweater and its cheery colors!

    Wow that looks fantastic! I can see why you would want to work on that. I am knitting another pair of socks, a dishcloth and a shawl. I have found a pattern for a cardigan for my daughter using some yarn I found in a charity shop. I shall be casting that on soon I think.

    I love the colors in your sweater. Those blues play so well with the orange. I've been doing nothing but knitting and reading too.

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! How are you? How was your weekend? I had a great weekend but I didn't take any great photos. I've been wrapping presents a little bit each day instead of doing it all in one massive long day. This has made a difference in my joy as I wrap. Do you wrap all at once? Or do you do a little bit at a time? Miss Holly has been finding the sun spots and getting her 'tan' going. She is a sweetie. I have no idea what she is watching outside that window. She does that every day. My guess is probably birds or chipmunks but chipmunks should be resting now that it's super cold outside. Sadly I did not take any photos of my knitting, but I have been knitting! I continue to work on my husband's hat and I ripped out a pair of mitts I started (couldn't see the dark yarn with cabling) and started a much simpler pattern instead. Sunday was church then the laundry. I am getting excited for the upcoming holidays. The kids are coming back with the grandchildren and...
