I haven't shared this cowl in a while now. Isn't it just fantastic? I love the colors that I put together on a whim when I bought the yarn over the summer months right after the BIG move. I can't stop loving it.

What are you working on this week?

    Oh your co1ors are wonderfu1. I finished a hat and mai1ed it to a friend as a surprise. I can't wait to hear how he 1ikes it. I need to be at the start portion of something I want to make. I'm giving the uneek sock yarn one more chance not to drive me crazy. IT is too beautiful not to try again. I am asking it to be finger1ess, It shou1d comp!y. Sometimes It is just too much caffeine and my hands get jittery.

    I like those soothing colors. I've been slowly working on laundry and cleaning for CNY. I may make pie crust today, but need to figure out lunch.

    oh that cowl is one of my favorite patterns! I LOVE your colors!! I wore mine on repeat last week and realized it was the perfect gauge swatch for the yarn I used ... I even switched needle sizes halfway through so it works for size 4 and size 3 needles. (sometimes current me is most delighted with things past me did without even thinking about them)

    That cowl pattern is a tried and true favorite of mine also. I love your color combinations. I'm working on a cardigan and a shawl. Just because I like three projects on the needles, I cast on a pair of socks - for the third time.

    Wow that is gorgeous! I found a yarn shop in a local town, I fear it is going to be rather dangerous knowing it is there......I was very restrained yesterday partly because I had so little time but I can't unknow that it is there 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! 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).
