Knitting News



I keep working on this gradient shawl each and every single night.  It grows and grows and still have oodles of yarn yet to knit up! I am thoroughly enjoying every stitch.


The golden wheat shawl also gets some knitting time every now and then.  The pattern is easy to follow but I cannot read and knit at the same time because most rows have something going on.  I love how this is knitting up!


What are you working on this week?

    Both of your shawls are so pretty. I love the colors in your gradient one. I'm still working on Tomfoolery socks and the Hellebore Hitchhiker.

    The gradient and winter wheat shawls are both lovely! I'm still working on the endless Hitchhiker and getting ready to cast on some fingerless mitts.

    I really enjoy gradient yarn. Each row is like another potato chip.
    The Golden Wheat shawl is gorgeous. It looks really hard. I love how large the finished shawl is.

    Socks. Socks and more socks. No pattern per se. The ones for my husband seem endless (he likes a long shank and has a long foot.). :)

    Such pretty shawls you knit. That Golden Wheat is a pattern I've never looked at. I think your solid color is a very good choice. I'm finishing up some fingerless mitts and knitting on a shawl this week.

    I have a shawl and a sweater that don’t need my attention so ok it those in the evenings. Then there is some color work that needs good light and focus so that happens in smaller spurts. Good to have variety.

    Karen, I love the second one. The intricacy and the roundness appeal to my eye! It looks hard to do! I'm sock knitting. The sock bug had not bit in a long time.....and then! BITE! I'm thrilled to be knitting them again. One crazy skein makes me happy for the next pair.

    Your golden wheat shawl is exquisite, it is going to look so beautiful when it is knit up. I love your other shawl too, the colours are so lovely.

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).
