Good morning! How are you all doing?

I finished the socks on Monday night and already started another pair of socks the same evening. He is proudly wearing these socks which makes me happy. I do not know how much knitting I will be getting done because I'm in the middle of an arthritis flare in my wrists. I wish I could be patient but alas, I am not.  I'm doing my best to knit briefly and then take a rest. 

What are you working on this week?

    The socks look nice and warm and you know your husband appreciates them since he wore them right away!

    The socks are wonderful...and wonderful that he immediately started wearing them! Your husband is extremely knit-worthy! Here's hoping your flare up calms down very, very soon.

    His feet thank you, I am sure. Still working on RCR socks over here. Wrist flare ups are worse than finger flares. At least with finger flares you can reposition the needles and still knit. Not so much with the wrist. Hope it improves soon.

    Those socks look great! Those arthritis flares can really be annoying. I am impatient for them to be over when they occur. Usually, I just find a different craft to work on until they subside.

    Oh friend...I'm so sorry about the arthritis flare. I know how painful they can be. But I love the socks! And just so you know...I am the same way when I have a crocheting project I am working on. I don't want to stop, even though I know it isn't the wise thing to do.

    I'm sorry you're in pain, I hope your wrists feel better soon. Your socks look good, they're obviously loved as they're worn already. Take care, Cathy x

    Terrific job on the socks. It is even better when they are wearer- approved. I hope the flare subsides sooner rather than later. That has to be frustrating.

    Great socks and I imagine your husband is quite happy to have them. I still find your heel interesting and have not seen a heel construction quite like it before. I think what I see as different is the bottom of the heel, it looks padded.

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).
