Passion Socks

 

Good morning to you!! How has your week been? Have you been crafting away? There's been a ton of knitting here but it's behind the scenes knitting - you know hush hush knitting. 

So I finished my husband's socks just in time for Christmas Day! I tucked them into his stocking and he loves them so. I usually pick a green color way since it's his favorite color but his back up favorite is purple. I could knit socks every day if given a chance.

My knitting goals are to knit for me (us) until February or March then go back to knitting for others.

What are you working on this week?

    I love waffle socks and that is a great color! I hope they are keeping your husband's feet warm and you are enjoying your knitting.

    The socks are great. Bet hubby's feet appreciate them too. Been working on a "poncho" type covering for my DIL. Super chunky yarn and huge needles makes it go fast but my hands slow it down. Go figure lol.

    Your hubby's purple socks are wonderful! Great pattern, great color and isn't it wonderful to knit for someone who appreciates it? I'm still working on my Turning Leaves socks - I didn't knit much in TX.

    What a handsome pair of socks. I hope your husband enjoys wearing them. I planned to finish my Advent Scarf/Wrap but Norah lost her pink and white mittens with hearts.So I knit a pair of mittens for her. The scarf can wait.

    Those socks are great! My favorite color. I really wish I could figure out how to knit socks. My first two tries haven't been successful.

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).
