Knitting News

 


The title of this post should be the 'non-knitting news'. Ha. I'm working on the same two projects (Gray Matter Shawl and Moon River Shawl) and my free time to knit has been quite limited this week due to all the socializing we are doing before the move. If I'm not socializing, I'm packing boxes. I want to continue showing up in this space as long as possible even if I've only added one or two rows. 

What have you been working on this week?

    I've been slowly working on one or two rows of my Hitchhiker. It's still knitting and it still counts (and I don't even have packing as a reason for my slow progress)!

    Working on a shawl for my daughter's birthday. Luckily it is in October so should be able to get it done by then. Even if you are not getting a lot of knitting done, I still enjoy reading what you have been doing. So please, keep on blogging.

    No knitting. Working on online classes. I hope the packing and moving is going well. Have a good and productive week.

    Sounds like a busy time, but glad you are able to socialize before your move. The knitting never ceases to amaze, both beautiful projects.

    I have been kniiting a baby blanket to help my shoulder and arm muscles. From struggling to knit just one row at the beginning, I can now knit 4 or more. Yay!

    I knit a washcloth, and added a few rounds to a sock. Most of my crafting time this week has gone to sewing quilt squares!

    I finished my bear yesterday. I have been working on the boring feather and fan because I had to wait for dr. appointments. Its a good thing for waiting and not having to think too hard

    We are all here waiting for you even if you can't post for a bit, moving is so hard and makes you so busy. Good luck.

    We've had a busy week - well a road trip to see my siblings - in one place and very soon our son and grandson from Texas should be ringing the doorbell for a Father's Day celebration. I did finish a pair of socks during our travels this week otherwise my knitting is like yours - the same with not so much progress.

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).
