Knitting News




I'm chucking over my post title 'knitting news' when there is barely any news at all. Since I was ill most of last week, I managed maybe to knit a row or two each day if that. Each day my fatigue is less and my energy improves. I'm hopeful I can finish these socks for my husband by the weekend. 

The first photo is a gift cowl from the generous left overs of my first cowl. I'm pretty sure I have enough yarn but we'll see as I progress. I know I can rejigger the pattern if need be to accommodate the left over yardage.

What are you working on this week?

    Warm socks and gift cowls are always welcome and lovely to knit. I'm trying to finish a Hitchhiker so I can finally finish my Antler cardigan.

    So good to hear that you are feeling better daily. Take it easy and don't do too much. The socks are just so pretty (handsome) - love that yarn. And the gift cowl will be appreciated, I'm sure. I need to start a new knitting project - the problem is choosing what to do!

    OMGosh, I didn't catch you were sick too! I thought it was just your spouse. I'm so sorry you had to deal with bug yourself. Rest is best. Rest is self-care and you deserve it.
    This week is going by fast. I love that it's Hump Day b/c Thursday always feels like Friday since my spouse is home Fridays.

    The gray yarn is such a soft pretty color. I'm still chugging along on a cardigan and a cowl. I have a shawl on the needles but it hasn't had much love lately.

    So glad you're feeling better! And every little bit of knitting counts and adds to the finish. That cowl is going to be pretty; what pattern are you using? And good luck reaching your Friday finish! I'm working on hats for charity lately and a shawl that only gets one small section a day before it makes me crazy! And then there are the socks. Yep, way too many starts, and too few finishes. Sigh.

    Glad you're on the mend! Don't overdo it- but I understand the pull when you have such beautiful projects on the needles! :)

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).
