I love when Frodo gives me that look that says 'you're in my space'. Too funny! How are you? How has your crafting been this week?

Mine has been slow going but I'm enjoying my slow going progress. I'm savoring the knitting process. The above photo is my lavender cowl that I pick up in the afternoons for a few rows sometimes I read my kindle or sometimes I listen to a podcast. 

The bottom photo is the baby blanket that makes steady progress each and every single evening if we are watching a show on TV. I love the repetitive pattern and how easy it is to pick up and knit.

What are you working on this week?

    Both of your projects - the cowl and the baby blanket - are so pretty. They look sweet and soft to me. I'm knitting some crazy socks!

    That cowl is so beautiful! My knitting has been slow too. It's too hot to knit in the day (I'm working with acrylic yarn) and too dark at night. Oh well, it's all about the process....

    Your blanket is growing quickly. I love the cowl.

    Both projects look very enjoyable. It's nice to have one that requires a little more thought and one that is more auto-pilot. Frodo has quite the personality.

    I love that sweet baby blanket. It looks so soft and comfy for a very special little one. :-)

    That pink yarn gets prettier each time I see it. Happy knitting!

    Your knitting is so nice. I love the detail in the cowl and the simple but yet elegant blanket.

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).
