Well here is a project that is a blast from the past. According to my notes, I started this shawl on May 26th last year. I have repeatedly pushed this project aside for more important knitting. Once my scarf is completed which will be within 48 hours, I am focusing on this shawl.

Of course there will be some newly cast on projects as well, I am a knitter and that is what knitters do!! 

What are you working on this week?

    Such a pretty shade of pink. I do not remember this one. The color reminds me of the inside of a conch shell (which is appropriate given the name of the pattern). I have not knit much this past week...need to remedy that!

    Oh, but it is a lovely shawl! I'm currently searching for my knitting mojo (or crochet mojo - I'd be fine with that too?). I haven't felt like making something for a while...

    Oh, I remember that shawl. It is going to be so pretty when completed. I just finished a prayer shawl for our church's cancer ministry. Now working on hubby's socks. No plans to cast on anything new right this minute. But that can change at any given moment.

    Can't wait to see the end result of that pretty project! It's way too easy to ignore a project and cast on a new one instead, isn't it? I am very good at that!

    I love the color of your shawl. This is a good time of year for you to work on it, because maybe you will have a finished for cool spring weather. I hope you are having a good week! See you again soon!

    Isn't it fun to pull out an "old blast from the past" project? This one looks lovely. Enjoy all of your knitting. I'm working on a sweater and a small child's hat as a charity donation.

    I've just started another experiment with stripes and intarsia in the round. I'm trying to work through some of my stash, but as usual more stash keeps coming to live with me! Oh well...

    You are so organised that you know when you cast it on, I am terrible for keeping Ravelry up to date, I have probably knitted twice the projects I have recorded on there.

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!

  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).
