Good morning!

I love knitting this sweater so much. I only had to undo one row two nights ago because I messed up which row I was on (eep!) but otherwise so far I am knitting the chart correctly. I'm about 5-7 rows away from completing the yoke chart then I get to do short row shaping.

What are you working on this week?

    That is a beautiful sweater and knitting that you love to work on always goes quickly. I'm working on a few Christmas hats and wondering if I have yarn (and time) for a few hats for others.

    That is really pretty. I can understand why you are enjoying it so much. I just finished a shawl and pulled out my languishing cardigan to work on. I really want to complete it before winter ends here. That being said, our winter usually ends by February so I need to hussle.

    Gorgeous!! I do love the colors that you are working with and that is going to be a beautiful sweater. I'm working on Christmas knitting! I hope I get it done in time.

    Your colorwork looks awesome. The designer has so many wonderful, colorwork designs.

    Beautiful sweater! I’m working on a baby blanket and socks. The baby blanket is taking the lead as the baby is due soon!

    It is beautiful, love the pattern. I am working on a crochet shawl, which for some reason is not going well.

    I am working on more socks and getting ready to start a new sweater. Your beautiful yoke reminds me that I went down a little Jenn Steingass rabbit hole yesterday. I love every single one of her designs and they are so much fun to knit!

    That's a beautiful sweater. I so admire colorwork but for some reason it is not my favorite kind of knitting. It's interesting because my sister loves to knit colorwork and I prefer texture of lace or cables.

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).
