Creative Chaos

 

Yesterday I started another hat for little old me (as knitters do). Last Christmas, I received the pattern and yarn from my husband from Quince and Co. I am a huge fan of their wools. I worked on this hat exclusively for the whole afternoon!

I decided that my knitting bag needed a clean out and a refresh. So I reorganized the project bags, refiled patterns that I no longer need and tucked away scrap yarns in my yarn closet.

Through the chaos there's organization! After a rainy day yesterday, I'm looking forward to walking Frodo and getting some much needed exercise to release my wiggles. Also the 'master list of Christmas tasks' is being drawn up and analyzed. I have yet to decide if I am baking and what I am baking if I am baking.

    Frodo is resting up for all of his tasks!

    Oh, a good reorganization does wonders for a person. Sounds like the perfect activity for a rainy day. I kind of slacked off baking last year but have picked it back up this year. It takes quite a bit of time to complete it all. Yet, the faces on those who consume my endeavors is worth every minute.

    Organizing yarn goodies always feels good! I love that hat - will be so cute. I'm going to bake New Year Cookies this year - meaning no baking until we are back from TX. That's a relief!! Still raining here...or rather misty outside. I ran to the post office to ship off one last box (this one to TX as I didn't want to take up precious space in my carry-on bag - LOL). Enjoy the weekend!

    It feels so good to reorganize things. Frodo looks like he has the right idea for these winter days! Have a good weekend. See you again soon!

    Maybe you could come here and help me organize my stashes? (Knitting, Stitching and quilting)

    What a pretty color! I have only got Quince and Co yarn once, it was years ago at a yarn shop called Fibrege in Cincinnati.

    Frodo napping is so adorable! I am contemplating some holiday baking as well... although I am not feeling it at all this year. I am hoping that looking at some recipes will inspire me!

    I love organizing and tidying up and especially my knitting. It feels so good to have things back where they belong. I have a basket of patterns and notion bags to sort through. I will also do a thorough toss of the stash the first part of January.

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).
