Knitting News

My knitting devotion has been on one project this past week and it's the color work pullover. I cannot gush enough about how delighted I am to pick up this project and add another row, then another, then another. Last night I completed all of the color work chart and am now swimming in good old stockinette.

What are you working on this week?

    I am working on the foot of sock number two, trying to get it finished before the color work knit along begins on Friday. It is amazing what you can finish when you work on just one project at a time.

    What a beautiful yoke. I can see why you are smitten with it. I'm working on three things: cowl, sock and wrap. All are pleasurable knits!

    It's gorgeous! I'm trying to finish up my 1st super simple pullover ever. Chunky yarn. The cold temperatures make me want to wear it now.

    Beautiful sweater! I’m working on a shawl. It’s been on the needles a long time. It’s for me so there’s no rush.

    That is quite complex colorwork. The colors you picked are my favorites. It's going to be gorgeous!

    I love the color work in the yoke, Karen. What a great choice of colors! I just finished a cowl to match a hat I knitted last year and am building up the nerve to return to a poncho I began a year ago but set aside when I found myself making error after error. It's definitely something I cannot do in front of the tv at night, which is one reason I set it aside. Other than that, I'm thinking of learning how to crochet granny squares. : )

    My knitting is on hold thanks to my sore thumbs. However, I am piecing a quilt and doing some counted x-stitch. I do miss the knitting though.

    It's always a plus when you love what you're knitting and are addicted. I've been working on my York Pinafore and sometimes I get sucked into a reading binge.

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).
