Knitting News

 


My knitting news is minuscule.  However, progress no matter how tiny is progress. I've been mainly working on my blue sweater. I haven't been knitting during the day and only knit for an hour or two at night. I tend to do this in the summer time as other activities become my focus. Also that dastardly cold really set me back. I am feeling better though!

Even though my knitting is minimal, I am dreaming of new knitting projects I want to knit for my grandson and some other family members. 

What are you working on this week?

    Another row counts as progress, and there is just something about summer heat that saps my desire to knit. I finished a bunch of washcloths and will start a Baby Surprise Jacket (if I'm clever enough to figure it out)!

    I'm so glad to hear that you are feeling so much better from that nasty cold you had. Our kids in Maine had the same thing and it really set my daughter-in-law back a whole week before she started feeling better.

    So glad you are feeling better. I find I knit much slower in the summer...warmth and yarn don't always go together! I'm slowly working on some socks and also on my stitching.

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).
