Knitting News

 


I have been religiously working on this project and only this project for a few days now. I have high hopes of finishing this by next week. I need space in my knitting bag for some serious holiday knitting. I perused my knitted gift box and there aren't many gifts to give that I've knit throughout the year - I'll blame the move.

I'm happy to report that my knitting mojo is back and I'm thoroughly enjoying sitting down with wool in my hands and on my lap. I'm sure the change in the weather has helped me along the way.

What are you working on this week?

    I was hoping that the arrival of real fall weather would herald the return of your knitting mojo, and I'm glad to hear that you're on your way to finishing the shawl soon. You are an inspirational holiday knitter, so I'm looking forward to seeing what you cast on.

    Woohoo for the return of knitting mojo. The color if the shawl is perfect. It will go with anything being worn. I am still working on 3 projects; Roe cardigan, giant granny square blankets and rose city roller socks. The cardi is getting most of my attention since our weather is starting to cool down.

    I am so happy to hear your knitting mojo is back. I am doing the finishing work on Norah's cardigan and working on some socks. I did cast on a Christmas gift for my DIL. I don't do lots of Christmas knitting but do knit a few things. One down, this one and another to go.

    Your move was HUGE in both downsizing, packing, moving and unpacking. It's huge any way you look at it. God bless you ❤🙏

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! How are you? How was your weekend? I had a great weekend but I didn't take any great photos. I've been wrapping presents a little bit each day instead of doing it all in one massive long day. This has made a difference in my joy as I wrap. Do you wrap all at once? Or do you do a little bit at a time? Miss Holly has been finding the sun spots and getting her 'tan' going. She is a sweetie. I have no idea what she is watching outside that window. She does that every day. My guess is probably birds or chipmunks but chipmunks should be resting now that it's super cold outside. Sadly I did not take any photos of my knitting, but I have been knitting! I continue to work on my husband's hat and I ripped out a pair of mitts I started (couldn't see the dark yarn with cabling) and started a much simpler pattern instead. Sunday was church then the laundry. I am getting excited for the upcoming holidays. The kids are coming back with the grandchildren and...
