Socks and a Blanket

 

I finished two projects since I last posted my knitting news update. Sadly I have to guess when I finished these socks! So let's say sometime last week? I have no idea. But they are finished and they turned out great. I'm knitting a pair of socks for each of the kids and their partners. I am half way done!

The baby blanket turned out so nice and because it's all cotton, it's soft and has a cosy feel to it. I'll be wrapping this up for the nephew's baby to be within the next week or so. I have a wee cardigan to go with it, more about that next week.


What are you working on this week?

    Those socks look so warm and squishy and the blanket will be so cozy. Congratulations on two wonderful finishes!

    Hooray for half-way to your knitted socks. They will make very nice gifts. The baby blanket looks so soft and cuddly. Lucky baby to have you for an auntie. Let's see, I'm working on a poncho and a pair of ribbed socks. It's time to cast on one more project.

    You are one fast knitter. Do you work on multiple projects or one at a time?

    Lovely squishy socks. I'm impressed that you are knitting so many socks for gifts. What a lovely gift of a blanket to the new baby in the family.

    You knit so fast! Another pair of socks, oh boy. I think you have knit more socks this past month or so than I have all year, and this was going to a year of socks for me......

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

Knitting News

  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).
