Knitting News

 


My knitting news is minimal! The arthritis flare in my wrists has greatly improved but it's because I've significantly decreased the amount of time I've been knitting. I started these pair of socks over the weekend but then switched my limited knitting attention to some simple dishcloths for Easter gifts. I keep my knitting time to about one hour a day, sometimes a little more with lots of stretches and breaks.

I am grateful that I am getting better each and every single day!

What are you working on this week?

    That's nice looking yarn for a sock. I hope you continue to improve.

    I have always wanted to learn to make socks! I too am just making some simple dish clothes to get back into knitting. I have yarn on the way to start a sweater that will take me a long time to finish as my wrists can't take much either. I'm glad you are feeling a bit better each day! :)

    I hope your flare settles down soon! Those socks are fun though! Today we have wild winds that made my morning walk with Sherman fun! :)

    Just finished up my RCR socks for myself. Dishcloths make such a nice gift. Not to mention they are a quick knit.

    Hope your wrists feel better! I've had carpal tunnel issues, had to take a break with crocheting + even chopping veggies for a couple months...thankfully it's better now.

    I hope this flare is short lived. You have the best sock yarns.

Weekends

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).
