 I'm excited to share with you the contrasting color added on my moon river shawl. I just love it! I'm hoping I have enough yarn to finish the shawl as it is written (I think so..). I'm managing about an hour of knitting each night while we finish packing up the house and it's a blissful one hour!

What are you working on this week?

    Really nice contrast. This is dishcloth knitting weather. To darn hot to have anything laying in my lap.

    I LOVE that 2nd color ... and all the boxes in your Weekend post. I'm working on an easy sweater and a long to-do list this week.

    I have a two color shawl on my needles too. So exciting to get to the color change rows.

    I love your shawl. They gray color looks super with the first color. So many of my blog pals are moving. I remember telling myself I would not go crazy and would enjoy the process. Ha ! HA! I recall a very intense summer and relief when it was over.

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).
