Good morning!

I started this scarf at the beginning of April and it is a Christmas gift. I had a spare skein of malabrigo yarn lace and according to the directions I should have enough yarn. We shall see! I have to concentrate while knitting this so I only work on it a few times a week while I still have non-credit classes to attend. I will be having a few weeks off before the summer sessions start so hopefully I will have more time to knit!

What are you working on this week?

    Beautiful shade of lavender and what a gorgeous and delicate pattern! Just lovely. I'm knitting socks (of course) and thinking of other things I have on the needles.

    That is really lovely. Lace is always a special treat for the recipient. I finished a prayer shawl last night and will finish up clue 3 today of the MKAL gnome. My needles will then be empty. Choices will need to be made as to what is nexr.

    What an elegant lace scarf you are making. I'm knitting on the Sophie Shawl and doing a little embroidery too.

    I started a just knit stitch corner to corner baby blanket....mindless knitting and easy on my hands. I can take it in the car or watch tv without concentrating. I also am looking for (and think I found) a sweater pattern for my granddaughter!

    That's really pretty! You should have plenty of yarn to complete it. And what a lovely gift.

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).
