Through the Forest Socks

 


I finally finished these pair of socks for my husband. I used a memorized pattern from long ago before ravelry days, for me it's mindless and the ultimate comfort knitting. I'm seriously contemplating knitting another pair for him because he keeps putting holes in previous pairs of socks I've knit for him. In his defense they are many years old...

Since Monday I've been knitting exclusively for me and the plan is to continue knit for me the whole week long!

What are you working on this week?

    I'm also working on socks but I went to be early yesterday before the toe decrease and kitchenering. I think my next pair of socks might be waffle socks as I love their squishiness!

    I love those socks. Very handsome! The color is great (and one Fletch would like). I, too, am knitting on socks and dreaming of other projects. I may start a MAJOR cowl soon!!

    Those look like great gentlemanly socks. I'm knitting on some mittens for a grandson and dreaming about knitting for myself. Soon.

    Really nice socks! I should knit my husband a pair too. I haven't knitted for him in awhile now. Good to have a pattern like this memorized to knit up! Enjoy knitting for yourself this week! :)

    Still working on the Miss May shawl. Sadly I was almost done but had to rip out my recent work because I somehow acquired 2 extra stitches. Sigh.

    I love that pattern, I have knit some similar socks. I do love a pattern that you can memorise.

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...
