Swizzle Socks

 


Good morning!

I finished another pair of socks for my husband and promptly cast on another pair. I enjoyed this colorway but, gosh, it was a challenge to match the two socks up (but I did a good job!). Once I am done filling his sock drawer, I will be thrilled to be knitting other projects that are on my mind. I should write down my ideas so I do not forget.

What are you working on this week?

    OH! I love them! I am getting ready to start my second "test" sock. Hopefully I won't have the hole in the gusset this time. Everything else worked out great! I have my yarn for my "real" pair of socks after this test pair. I too have been saving ideas on Ravelry. So many projects, so little time! LOL!

    You did mighty fine matching the stripes up. My husband doesn't understand why matching up stripes is important. He says they are under his slacks and no one sees them. Well of course there are those times you sit down or cross your legs! He didn't think of that. This is why he is not a knitter lol.

    Very stylish socks. I always try to get them to match too! I'm knitting a helicopter atm for the WI charity request from - Air Ambulance (local counties) x

    Great pair of socks! I’m actually working on my sweater and finally working on the bottom band.

    your husband has a wonderful sock drawer full of socks! I'm knitting a white cotton/linen pullover for myself - which fills a much-needed gap in my Spring wardrobe, and it feels like Summer might be here before I finish it.

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).
