Sienna and Silver Mitts

 

Well now, I finished two pairs of fingerless mitts for us! For weeks, I've been knitting hitchhiker shawls as gifts for the holiday season and still have the third but last one on the needles. I enjoyed switching my attention to knitting for me and my husband instead. I've knit this mitt pattern numerous times and the pattern is just one of my all time favorites to knit.

What are you working on this week?

    I am nodding with Bonny... I hope we don't need mitts for a good bit of time yet! :)

    How lovely!! It was in the 50's here this morning - not quite mitt weather, but delightfully coolish. Nice that you two are prepared for the upcoming winter weather!! I'm still plugging away on my Shakerag Skirt and my Allsorts sock #2.

    I am working on emptying my needles before I launch into my Fall knitting list which is growing.

    The mitts look warm and toasty. I am envious of the cool weather in the eastern part of the country. We have had a string of very hot days as in 100+ degrees. I'm working on Norah's rainbow sweater and a pair of socks that are a Christmas gift for my daughter.

    What a treat to look forward to a chilly morning and his 'n' her mitts! I'm trying to finish up a last summer sweater ... and dreaming of fall knits!

    Your mitts are lovely, I bought some 4 ply yarn (fingering weight?) to knit my husband some fingerless mitts to warm his wrists. I've yet to find a plain pattern.

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).
