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.

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...
