I've been mainly working exclusively on two projects this past week. First up is the Good Things Scarf that is easy to knit and fun to knit. I'm using some mini-skeins as well as a gray sock yarn in between the mini-skeins.

The other project is the purple socks for my husband - I love to have socks on the needles because I can talk and knit without many mistakes, never say never though. 

Then in my imagination is a soon to be hat for me. I haven't started it, but I have been thinking about it!!

What are you working on this week?

    That scarf is simply so lovely Karen! And your husband's socks are moving right along. Love both projects. I'm trying to finish a Christmas sock before we leave next week.

    Love your projects! That is such an interesting scarf; I need to check out the pattern. I just finished my last two Christmas projects and can get back to work on some other things. Hurrah!

    I love the scarf! Beautiful! The purple socks remind me of watching the Donnie and Marie (Osmond) show back in the day. I think Donnie always wore purple socks on the show. It was a running joke. I hope you enjoy what's left of the week and that you have a good weekend. :-)

    You have two nice projects on the needles. I'm working on an advent scart/wrap.

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

  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).
