I added that pop of blue yarn for the nearly finished hitchhiker shawl. I am so close to being finished! I did not knit in the car on the way to and from Cambridge, MA last weekend. I just didn't feel like it. Sometimes I do knit and sometimes I just talk to my husband and look out the window. 

What are you working on this week?

    I love that nice blue color you added! My husband always jokes about my car knitting. I hate to waste time sitting in the car, but I often end up ripping out my many mistakes.

    Love the Robin's Egg Blue that you've added to your Hitchhiker - a lovely touch. I never knit in the car. I'm too busy either looking at the scenery or telling Fletcher how to drive (or I'm the one driving). LOL

    Ooo! I really like that blue on your Hitchhiker! Sometimes observing new surroundings is more compelling than my head buried in my knitting! Good choice you!

    The blue gives a wonderful pop of color to the shawl. Watching the scenery while on a road trip is so nice. Being in a close space with a loved one is also a good time to really talk about things. Makes a long road trip so memorable.

    How fun! I need to do that pattern some day, but am trying to work on all of my many unfinished projects. Wish me luck!

    that blue really pops! I'm working on church stuff this week ... and if I can get it wrapped up, planning to treat myself to time getting a 2nd quilt started!

    The blue is a perfect color! I am like you sometimes knit in the car and sometimes not.

    The blue and brown compliment each other nicely. I'm getting ready for company so my knitting time has been limited. I'm plugging away on a shawl of leftovers and thinking about Norah's sweater.

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).
