I know I keep showing the same projects but that is what I'm working on. I'm longing (desperately longing) for a finished project. The shawl is chugging along and the baby blanket is over half way done. I'm also half way through the poncho that is not in the photos.

    It seems like there is a point in almost every project where you can't see any forward progress, and then voila, it's almost done. For me this is especially true for blankets. I bet you'll be done with both the shawl and blanket soon!

    Hi Karen,
    They are both such pretty projects...and once you pass the halfway mark...it's all downhill...
    ~Have a lovely day!

    I love seeing your progress on your shawl and blanket. It helps me realize that not all projects are completed in just a week or two. I think I am close to week 4 or 5 of working on my shawl. And it is the only thing I have worked on where you have 3 items on the needles.

    So much progress on those BIG projects ... I hope you have something smaller planned for a palate cleanser once you get one of these into the FO column!

    Maybe you need to concentrate on one of those projects just to have a finish. Then, of course, you can start something new. I love both of these pieces.

    I recognize that point in a project that you are writing about and wanting to finish something. Both are lovely. On the shawl I just finished and a toddler sweater I ripped out, I clipped a progress keeper to mark the days progress. For now do some dreaming about the next project.

    I am desperate to finish a crochet sweater I am managing to create a disaster with. I love your projects. Stay safe.

    I like the textures of these WIPS.

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).
