Knitting News

 


Hello! Believe it or not  I have started a new project this past week. I have a few friends that in their family they are expecting some babies.  As you know I like to knit new babies a simple cardigan. (According to Ravelry this sweater is number thirteen!) I've knit this pattern so much it's sort of memorized and my print out is tattered. 

What are you working on this week?

    That is such a sweet pattern. You will have that knit in no time! I'm plugging away on a pair of socks and the Guernsey Wrap (high squish factor!!).

    Every new baby needs a sweater to keep them warm, and this is a lovely pattern!

    It looks lovely Karen, I followed the link to Ravelry and found lots of your makes. I've purchased 2 patterns from Ravelry before but other than that, I never use the account. I did request to friend /follow you but not sure if anything happened. I sound like a dinosaur ha ha! Enjoy your knitting x

    A baby knit is a good one to have on the needles, always a quick project and a delight to knit up. I love that you have found a favourite and know the pattern off by heart.

    I love this pattern! I may have to make this for my future granddaughter someday, but right now I am leaving the knitting to her MIL.

    I love to use those go-to patterns. Baby knits are so much fun. I'm working on a pair of socks and some fingerless mitts.

    Lucky babies! I have frogged again a pattern for like the third or fourth time: the first was I think a long time ago (I think I wasn't sure I was brioche knitting correctly), yesterday maybe twice (for the first reason and had changed the stitch count), and then again today (I dropped a stitch and didn't know how to fix it). I am debating on whether to start again tonight...sigh.

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...
