Ruby and Sage Mitts


 I know, I know you all are just stunned that I am finishing so many holiday knits. I've finished two pairs of mitts for my daughter and son in law for Christmas. This mitt pattern (peekaboo mitts) is a very fast knit and I've already started the third pair as I type this post up this morning. After the manic mitt knitting I intend to switch to hat knitting (also speedy knitting).

What are you working on this week?

    Nice mitts!! Fingerless mitts are a super fun and fast knit I think. I am working on a scarf for a Christmas gift and then debating about a cowl or fingerless mitts (FAST) as another Christmas gift.

    Nice mitts. They will be loved. I finished a prayer shawl and am now working on the coordinating chemo hat to go with it.

    Those are very nice mitts and I'm going to take a look at that pattern. I'm still enjoying my sleeve knitting and getting ready to cast on for the body of the sweater.

    I have to bookmark those mitts. They look quick and easy. I might be able to make some for Christmas also.

    I sure hope some of your Christmas enthusiasm is catching ... I need a dose right now (a Big Dose)! It might be helpful to see ALL the gifts in one photo - could you share?!

    The mitts turned out well. I think they make such nice gifts. I'm quilting a little nine patch quilt that has been in progress for years. I have a cardigan and a long boomerang type scarf on the needles and am itching to cast on something else.

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).
