Knitting News



Good morning!  How are you doing and how have your projects been coming along?  I feel like I'm knitting the same stuff, well actually I am knitting the same projects.  My zoom socks are only a few rows ahead than what they were last week.  During zoom meetings I talk more than I knit.

My golden wheat shawl is slowly getting bigger - I work on this in the afternoons for an hour or so. There might be one more repeat before I cast off. I don't think I'll be adding additional contrasting colors because the shawl might be big enough on its own once I block the daylights out of it.

What have you been working on this week?

    The Golden Wheat Shawl , I want to touch it, looks soft and squishy
    . The color is perfect as well.
    I feel too, that I am working on the same stuff. With all this time on my hands shouldn't I be completing shawls and socks daily? The Ashling shawl is going to be a really looong knit for me, lace weight, oy vey.

    Both of your projects look soft and squishy! I'm working on a baby blanket and have reached that time in the project where it doesn't seem to grow at all. The only thing to do is to keep knitting!

    That golden wheat shawl is luscious! So pretty. I really like your socks too. I'm plugging away on the Hawk second sock.

    The shawl is divine, what a stunning make. A few sewing projects but not a lot of knitting/crochet getting done.

    I adore the color of the yarn that you have used for that beautiful shawl.

    Your projects are lovely as ever. That shawl is going to be so pretty this fall. I am also working on the same knitting projects. I pulled a shawl out that has been waiting all summer to be finished and worked on some socks from a pattern called Downpour. If it ever rains again, I want to be ready.

    Oooh those socks are so lovely, I just love the colours. I am wondering what pattern your are using? My shawl is now off the needles and blocked, just need to sew 30 buttons on now!!

    Your shawl is gorgeous. I can't seem to settle down to create anything. Hoping that goes away soon. Stay safe.

    I think during this time I was addicted to starting off my Free Your Fade. I still am now.

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).
