Good morning! How are all you lovely people? 

My knitting this week has been slow. I am feeling better and because of that I am knitting once more. On the left is a simple cowl of my own design that I call knit doodling. The pattern is two rows of knit one purl one, one knit row then one purl row. That's it, then I go on repeat. 

To be honest the hat on the right hasn't been touched until I took the project out of my bag for this photograph!

I ended up going to express care on Monday for some modern magical medicine to treat a nasty sinus infection. I would love to tell you all about my resolutions and plans for the new year. Sadly the extended family visit and nearly three weeks of feeling awful have waylaid any intentions. Sitting upright was my goal yesterday, ha ha ha.

I am eager to get back to my regular exercise routine and of course knit something new. Non-credit courses start back up again in a few weeks as well.

What are you working on this week?

    I am making myself some sock mystery bags to inspire me to knit socks this year! (like the Yarn Harlot did... I am not aiming for a dozen though! lol)

    I hope you achieved sitting up and that you're feeling better soon. Knitting something cheerful like the cowl on the left might help. I thought it was crocheted at first, but the knitting needles say otherwise!

    I love the colors in the yarn of the cowl. So pretty.

    Like Bonny said, the cowl almost looks like crochet. The colors are so cheerful and spring-like they will certainly cheer anyone up on a winter's day. I sure hope you are feeling better soon. I'm afraid I may have caught the cold that Fletch had. Yuck! I'm knitting a hat, fingerless mitts and socks!

    Love the yarn that you are using for your cowl and thought at first it was crochet too. I’m working on a sock, a vest and enjoying a little spinning. Glad to hear you are beginning to feel better.

    Hope you feel 100% soon! I finished up a wool hot pad made with leftover yarn!

    I started a colorwork yoke sweater and it's so fun to see the pattern showing up. Take care of yourself and feel better soon!

    I hope you achieved your goal of sitting upright and that the modern medicine is helping you feel better The cowl will be pretty with the spring-like colors. I'm working on a shawl and fingerless mitts but I'm itching to cast on a sweater and a hat. Why is it that the next project is always more enticing?

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).
