Knitting News

 

Good morning!

This week I've been focusing on two knitting projects. I have halfheartedly put in a few rows on my new cardigan. I enjoy this project but I am trying to finish up the pink shawl.

The pink shawl is almost done. I have one more row then I'm casting off. I've been toting this back and forth when I visit my dad in the hospital (still in ICU, still improving). Maybe today is the day it's off the needles! Fingers are crossed.

What are you working on this week?

    I'm looking forward to seeing that lovely shawl off the needles and blocked, and also looking forward to your father getting well enough to get out of ICU!

    Oh, maybe together - pink shawl off the needles and your Dad out of ICU. Hoping and fingers crossed for both of these things! I'm knitting Pi Socks.

    I have happily finished both of the baby blankets that I was working on. I have to find something else to knit or crochet. I love the color of the yarn in your shawl. I hope you can bind off soon. Glad to hear that your dad is still improving.

    Good news about your Dad. I'm working on a KAL Lent Scarf (knit-a-long). Each section is knitted in a different pattern. I must take some photos soon. Take care, Cathy x

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! How are you? How was your weekend? I had a great weekend but I didn't take any great photos. I've been wrapping presents a little bit each day instead of doing it all in one massive long day. This has made a difference in my joy as I wrap. Do you wrap all at once? Or do you do a little bit at a time? Miss Holly has been finding the sun spots and getting her 'tan' going. She is a sweetie. I have no idea what she is watching outside that window. She does that every day. My guess is probably birds or chipmunks but chipmunks should be resting now that it's super cold outside. Sadly I did not take any photos of my knitting, but I have been knitting! I continue to work on my husband's hat and I ripped out a pair of mitts I started (couldn't see the dark yarn with cabling) and started a much simpler pattern instead. Sunday was church then the laundry. I am getting excited for the upcoming holidays. The kids are coming back with the grandchildren and...
