I have three projects going at the same time and I am mostly working on the baby blanket which for me is addictive to keep adding repeats.

The poncho for my daughter in law is coming along, I give this project at least one hour of knitting time a day. 


This shawl have been on the needles forever, well it feels like forever. I give this project about an hour every day as well. I love how it's turning out!

What are you working on this week?

    I'm glad you are back to having time for knitting, especially because you are working on projects for yourself and others!

    All lovely projects! I'm working on socks (of course) and I realize that I am not really good at having multiple projects going. I work on socks and ignore everything else. Once I finish the current pair of socks I'm going to make myself work on something else! LOL

    Lovely projects, I knitted my DIL the poncho several years ago and she loved it. Glad you have your afternoons back for your knitting time.

    Working on a shawl for my daughter. I normally have several projects going but right now only 2 and only working on 1. The color of your baby blanket is so cheerful. The texture on it makes it looks so cozy and cuddly.

    Such peaceful beautiful knitting Karen. It sounds as if you have some knitting time available. Let's see, I'm working on a slipper, a cardi for my granddaughter, and a swatch for a sweater.

    I did some knitting last week two days in a two but had to stop as the tension was affecting my tendonitis again. I did start my PT exercises again so hopefully my elbows and wrists will strengthen up.

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).
