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

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
