Dragonfly Cardigan

 




Good morning! Today is going to be a beautiful day and hopefully I will be sitting outside this afternoon on the back patio making the most of it before the rain returns once more. Sigh. 

I finished the baby sweater! It's the same pattern I knit over and over again. I am starting another one for another friend's baby to be. After that I will be taking a break from baby making things until mid to late summer when I start knitting for my grandson.

What are you working on this week?

    That sweater is so sweet! Beautiful, Karen! And it will be adorable on that baby to be!

    I am knitting away on a summer sweater for me!

    That is a very sweet baby cardigan! I just learned that a family member is having a baby in the fall and I've been wondering what to knit. I don't like to knit booties or blankets very much so I just might try this sweater.

    What a darling sweater! I'm still knitting on the Hiking Trail socks and the Guernsey Wrap. Both are fun projects and are keeping me occupied.

    Such a sweet wee sweater. Baby knits are the best.

    That is such a sweet little cardigan. I love the colour, years ago (UK) baby clothes were pastel or white. Then people went for bold plain colours. I remember my cousin wearing this colour with cream and lemon shades. She looked great.

    What a darling little cardigan. Let's see, I'm working on a scarf of textured stitches out of Advent Yarn and a sock that's been languishing for awhile.

    Oh boy, I've been trying to get my knit on but success is a distant pinprick of a view. My brioche vest was a teary fail and now my bow ascot isn't working out with the pretty yarn I wanted it in. Would you like gappy areas from fiddly cabling in tight areas? I don't and no matter what I've tried, I'm just not feelin it all; that's what I get from trying to join a KAL; I suck at those.

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).
