I am addicted to knitting this hat. I want to enjoy and savor the knitting and not rush through it. But then on the other hand, we are heading towards a severe cold snap and another hat in my rotation would be delightful to wear. 

Not in the photo is a pair of socks for my husband that I'm trying to finish by Christmas Day. I think I can! I knit them right in front of him and he hasn't a single clue. I finished the first sock and nearing the heel flap of the second sock.

What are you working on this week?

    I'm working on an 1898 hat and am finding it intriguing to knit. It's for my husband, so hopefully, I can finish it by Christmas (and if not, he'll just get it after Christmas)!

      Your paintings are really lovely, especially the tree trunk in the snow!

    Hahaha - your husband sounds like mine - can be completely oblivious at times. I love the hat. Have a very Merry Christmas.

    Your husband and mine have something in common. That new hat is very pretty but I do think you are going to need it if the cold snap here travels east. I'm working on a Guernsey Scarf and a cowl. Merry Christmas.

    I'm working on a couple of hats, but yours looks more fun. What's the pattern? Merry Christmas!

    That hat looks lovely ! I hope you have it finished by now ? On the news I heard that the US is facing some extremely cold days ! Not sure if it's also in your area, but in case it is: take care and stay warm !

    May you have a lovely Christmas! 🌲 The cold snap is here, rain yesterday morning, 40s then snow when it dropped to the 20s in a couple hours. That HAT is SO pretty. Will you share the pattern?

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).
