Good morning! How are you?

I'm excited to share with you that the first sleeve of my sister's sweater is almost done. Last night I arrived a within a row or two of the cuff. I have romantic visions of finishing this sweater by New Year's Day but that might be a knitter's pipe dream. Still, it's exciting to know that the end is very near and I can get this large project out of my knitting bag and make room for 'me me me' knitting!

What are you working on this week?

    What a beautiful sweater Karen. The colors are amazing. And, I bet you do finish it quickly! I'm knitting (slowly) some holiday socks (for next year I guess) for me, me, me!!

    How exciting. It is such a pretty sweater top. I am on the last sleeve of my sweater, Vixynn, and then I just need to add a couple more inches to the bottom to complete it. My hope is to have it done before the end of next week.

    I love this sweater. I have to get back to knitting one I started a couple of years ago. This week is visiting with family and hoping my son-in-law didn't catch covid from a aunt who just tested postive. Ugh! Wishing you a Happy New Year!

    That sweater is amazing. I'm charity knitting for awhile yet. Right now it is a hot pink skinny scarf that is going to be one to wrap around and around

    Your sister is one lucky gal! That sweater is just beautiful, and I am so impressed with your stranded work. Any advice in that regard?

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...
