While I was visiting my grandchildren last week, I did not knit one blessed stitch! (and interestingly the residual wrist pain is gone....) So all the progress you see on this first sock is from Sunday evening til now. So far, I am not loving the color-way of this skein but maybe I'll change my mind. I do love the way it feels in my hand though. Also, I'm not sure if there is a repeat in the color-way so these will probably not be matchy-matchy socks. That will be hard for me to accept, I do thrive on socks matching.

What are you working on this week?

    But the waffle pattern makes warm, cushy socks!

    I can totally understand how you thrive on socks matching. I am the same way...but this sock is very nice.

    The colorway is such a subtle gradient. I like it. No one notice the pair is not 100% matching unless it is pointed out to them.

    The colorways we enjoy are interesting. I think it looks like a warm soft sock. Sometimes I like my socks to match but it doesn't bother me if they don't.

    Match-matchy is not important to me, but I know it is to some. I'm glad your wrist pain has diminished and I hope that continues. Better to spend time with the grandchildren than to knit.

    I personally love the color of the yarn and agree with Bonny, the waffle pattern makes a cozy sock.

    I have to have my socks match, it would really annoy me if they didn't!

    So glad your hand pain is gone; I hope it stays that way. I don't think anyone would be able to tell whether those socks match or not. What pattern are you using? I am being tortured by a shawl pattern this week, and it's in time out at the moment!

      it's a personal pattern recipe with a simple waffle pattern (knit four rows) (k2p2 four rows).

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).
