Hello! How has your knitting been this week? Or should I say how has your craftiness been this week? I know some of you do not knit but are creative in many areas. My knitting has been minimal during the past week and will be for the next few days. It seems each day I have a stray appointment here or there and then  -poof- the day is ending, I'm tired and I manage an hour of knitting if that.

The above photo is the feather and fan blanket in Lion Brand wool ease from deep stash. I have no idea how long this will be but when the yarn ends after ten or eleven skeins, this blanket will be done. I toyed with adding some more stripes but decided against it. 

What are you working on this week?

    Such lovely knitting as always. I hear you on the one appointment in the day and poof it is gone. That is how my days are panning out at the moment too. I am not managing much knitting at all at the moment my evenings seem to evaporate too. I picked up my knitting yesterday evening and spent as much time undoing stitches as I did knitting as I kept making/finding mistakes. I think I was too tired or distracted.

    The blanket grows row by row. Some weeks the days do get away. I'm working on the same sweater but I do like the yarn.

    That is a beautiful pattern! I keep forgetting to update my Ravelry but I am working as much as possible on the sweater for my daughter. A couple hours each day and many hours on the weekend. Her birthday is the 27th and I hope to be done by then. I can always put off giving her my gifts for a couple days.

    I can't even tell that the yarn is in the bulky wool ease. That is a good amount of skeins you have for this project. It looks great. I hope to finish up my dress today and then I'm going to knit and maybe cross stitch. I have the first season of The Discovery of Witches that I want to start watching; the DVD is from the library.

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).
