Knitting News

 

That sweater is not as a rosy color in real life. It's a dark maroon hue and lovely, I guess the light was hitting the photo in a certain way. The second Christmas sweater for our grandson is gaining progress. I work on it most evenings while splitting my time with the socks in the below photo. The socks are for my husband who is wearing out previous hand made socks and needs his sock stash boosted.


What are you working on this week?

    I'm still working on a cardigan for myself but dreaming of socks and gnomes - smaller things!

    I have to try to get back to knitting a sweater I started a while ago. I love that maroon sweater and the socks.

    Both the sweater and the socks are beautiful! I'm trying to finish a second sock for Fletch - seems as though we are all knitting socks for our spouses!! I'm dreaming of some other things, but not sure there is time (meaning in time for Christmas)...I'll find out at some point!

    Lovely projects, perfect for the cooler, darker evenings. I cast on a second sock today, I am already half way down the cuff, I do love a quick knit.

    I love the little sweater. The socks look very handsome too. I'm working on some fingerless mitts for a niece and my little autumn quilted piece. I dug out a long lost shawl project last night to think about how I want to finish it.

    Love that sock design. I desperately need to be sock knitting for myself but first I have to survive the Christmas bazaars I signed up for.

    The sweater is coming along nicely. I hope we see a photo of its real colour, although the colour in the photo is pretty nice !

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...
