Viridian Cardigan

 


Well I finished yet another baby cardigan this week. This one is another gift for a friend's baby-to-be. I believe I'm done with the baby gift knitting for now! The yarn is greener in real life and I'm pleased with the way this cardigan turned out.

What have you been working on this week?

    What a sweet little baby cardigan! Babies always need a sweater and this one is lovely. I'm also working on a cardigan but mine isn't nearly as complete as yours.

    Wonderful, I do love a baby knit. They are a lovely quick knit although you can have too much baby knitting too. Looking forward to seeing what you next cast on.

    Another sweet baby knit for a lucky baby. I'm working on a shawl and a sock.

    Nice work! I am working on a baby sweater, too, called One Plus and am hoping to get a copy soon of Zimmerman's book with your pattern in it. Yours looks like such a sweet pattern! (And a really nice gift.)

    Such a sweet little cardigan. At the moment I'm working on my blanket, I need to knuckle down and get on with it as it's taking far too long to finish... too many distractions and things to do, to be honest. Take care Cx

    I already told you my knitting woes. I'm trying to decide should I dig out my stash and find another worsted weight yarn to knit up that bow tie ascot or maybe just finish that shawl. Oh I did finish a colorwork sweater but I won't be posting about it anywhere.

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).
