Not much new to report with my knitting. I wasn't feeling well this week because of blood pressure issues (found a new to me doctor and my meds are being adjusted). So I haven't been knitting. However, I am half way done with this baby blanket! I love this project and adding a repeat whenever I sit down and pick it up to work on.

What are you working on this week?

    The blanket is growing and I'm very glad to hear that your meds have been adjusted. That's got to be an awful feeling and I hope you are on the mend and able to knit!

    Sorry you have not been feeling well. Hopefully the med adjustments will work out and you will be back to normal soon! It is getting so hot here (another heat wave), that knitting and stitching are not all that comfortable to me. Your blanket is just hte sweetest though.

    I hope your new doctor can get things under control for you.
    That blanket is just lovely. The next time I knit a baby blanket, it's going to be that color.
    I've restarted the Forever Sweater. It still feels like it will take forever to finish.

    I hope your new meds have you feeling better already. The blanket is so sweet. That little person is going to love that blanket and also the grandmother who made if for him/her. It's been so hot I'm working on small projects that don't fill my lap with wool - a slipper, a pair of fingerless mitts, and a preemie hat for a donation.

    Hope the medication issues have been resolved and that you are feeling much better now.

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!

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).
