Good morning! 

I have been working daily on this baby blanket making steady progress in the hopes of finishing it by the weekend. Having said that, I'm sure I've jinxed myself and will not finish it. But that is okay, the baby shower for my grand-nephew-to-be isn't for a few weeks. I'd also like to knit a little sweater as well which I haven't started yet.

What have you been working on this week?

    Such a pretty blanket. What pattern are you using? I'm knitting socks (naturally).

    A Scatterby Sock on the needles over here. I am sure both the blanket and sweater will be accomplished before the baby shower. You've got this, Karen.

    That is a sweet blanket and I bet you'll be done by this weekend. I'm still plodding along on a Hitchhiker.

    The knitting has taken a back seat to the stitching this week (and cleaning out the Yarn Cupboard... sigh)

    That's one lucky baby and such a pretty blanket-to-be! I just finished a huge pair of socks (13") for my grandson's friend and am homing in on a sweater finish. And of course there are lots of other things to finish, too.

    What a warm cozy pretty blanket. I am working on a shawl, a sweater, and a cowl. Most often three is the magic number of projects - for me.

    That baby blanket is gorgeous, Karen! It almost makes me want to learn to knit. You have really been making good progress on it!

    The blanket is coming along nicely! Not much knitting at my end … it’s been a crazy 🤪 week.

    Beautiful! Will you make a baby cardigan? So much easier to put on compared to a pullover. I have a few for cardigans our little guy! I also have a knit vest that is great, just a warm layer around his middle.

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).
