Knitting News

 


Good morning! How are you all doing today and most of all, how are your projects coming along? 

Well I thought I'd have this hat done by now. You see, I took this project to my sister's neighborhood stitching group Monday night and every blessed stitch I knitted had to be undone. That's approximately five rows. I had to un-knit each stitch because of the twisted stitches that occur every single row. I've learned my lesson and will take simple socks from now on.

I'm thrilled to report I've fixed the mistake and I've knit back those five rows yesterday!

What are you working on this week?

    It's always a thrill (and quite a relief) to get beyond our mistakes after un-knitting them. I hope your hat stays on track!

    Oh dear! Sorry about that. How nice, though, to have a neighborhood stitch group - I would love that. I'm knitting plain vanilla socks (2 different ones), so hopefully there will be no negative knitting here. Happy Thanksgiving!

    Oh dear. It is so sad to need to unknit several rows. Yet, once they are corrected, don't you feel accomplished? I m working on a baby sweater and loving it.

    Lesson learnt! Glad you could fix it! I am just back on my feet, dreaming of baking my favourite cranberry orange muffins

    Ha, talking and knitting... They say it can be done, but I messed up a really simple project that way, so I can imagine this going wrong. Glad you managed to fix it though!

    Oh darn. It's always good to regain the lost knitting rows. That hat is certainly worth reknitting. It's a beautiful color in a pretty pattern. I most often take mindless projects to a social knitting situation. The group sounds fun though. Happy Thanksgiving.

    Oh man, it is is so frustrating when you have to un-knit. This is looking great now.

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

Hopefulness

Image
  Good morning! This week has been busy with classes and routine doctor appointments. The arthritis doctor has a few tricks up her sleeve for some of my dry mouth issues (from my autoimmune disease - Sjorgren's Syndrome) that make me feel hopeful. What was the most important thing during that doctor visit is that I felt seen and heard. I am thankful for her and her team. Speaking of hopefulness, look at my daffodils sprouting up! Some of the daffodils are just starting and some already have a head start. I love winter, but I'm looking forward to spring. The crocuses seem to be taking their time this year, as well as the snowdrops (unless those pesky deer have eaten them, grr). Even though I am still knitting my baby blanket, I have gathered four skeins of potential socks to be and am dreaming of a wonderful sock frenzy cast on.

New Year

  Good morning! How are you? Happy New Year, may this year be full of blessings to all of you. Well now, I finally have an empty home after having our son, daughter in law, grandson and granddaughter here for six nights.  I am still experiencing fatigue and symptoms from the virus even though I am feeling better. It was a challenge hosting family while recovering. Also we babysat the kids overnight (!!) while my son and daughter in law went for little getaway. I am thankful and grateful my Aunt came over both days to help out with the granddaughter who never sleeps during the day. (snack-naps do not count!). They all left early in the morning, and while I was tired, sleep deprived and fatigued, I put away Christmas plus all the toys and doodads you need for babies. Today I am looking at a squeaky clean house. I am planning on reading books and falling asleep while doing so! My exercise routine is on hold as I slowly get better. Maybe next week I can muster up some energy for some yoga
