Knitting News

 


I am so close to finishing my granddaughter's holiday sweater. I had every intention to finish it yesterday but I didn't knit at all. I have high hopes and pipe dreams that today I will finish that sweet tiny sleeve. Also, I was so busy that I forgot to take a photo in natural light, hence the above early morning photo.

What are you working on this week?

    Does it feel funny to have a day when you don't knit at all? I don't think I knit as much as you do, but a day without even a few rows is rare. You'll soon be done with that sweet sweater, and ready to start more holiday knitting!

      We have a strawberry hat that was a gift for the child before the one who is now 1 month old! It's in the bin with all the hats, which I haven't unpacked yet for this year, but need to soon!

    Hi Karen! What a beautiful sweater! You are such a good grandmother. I'm sure the gift will be treasured. I'm currently working on crocheting a baby afghan...actually, trying to use up an insane amount of white yarn that I purchased earlier in the year.

    What a sweet little sweater. I like the color as well as the pattern. I agree with Bonny, a day without knitting feels very strange to me. Let's see I'm working on a Christmas present for my DIL that won't be blog material and the LYS KAL wrap. I'm also swatching for a shawl from handspun.

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...
