I'm happy to report that I am half way through knitting this blanket that I started in January, I love the way it is turning out. My challenge will be deciding to keep it for myself or to gift the blanket. I'm leaning towards gifting but then again I do like it. I love these kinds of decisions.

What are you working on this week?

    I had forgotten you were knitting that blanket. Feather and fan is my favorite pattern to knit, and I love gifting it as baby blankets. Yours is lovely!

    I was just thinking of my aunt the other day and wondering how many Feather & Fan blankets she made in her life time. It seemed as though she always had a baby blanket on the needles and it was always a Feather & Fan pattern. I really like yours...I'd be tempted to keep it - nice to cult up with while reading or watching TV. I've restarted the Guernsey Wrap as well as the Hiking Trail socks.

    As for me... I am knitting socks (and sewing all.the.things!)

    Love your blanket. I like the color a lot - makes it very regal looking.

    Such a pretty blanket. The decision to gift or keep is going to be a tough one. I am working on socks, sweater and cross stitch.

    That blanket is so pretty it would be hard to give away. I think you should keep it!

    The feather and fan is a beautiful pattern and fun to knit. Good luck with your decision. I am reknitting a sleeve but it's a sleeve not the body of the sweater!

    Ohhhh, I love that so much! Looks like a perfect nap blanket. I love gray as well.

    I'm using up scrap yarn for a log cabin blanket. First time I've tried this technique, so we'll see how it turns out. :)

    Your blanket looks wonderful Karen, such a delicate pattern. I am continuing to knit rows on my jumper, slow and steady knitting round and round.

Weekends

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).
