 Well, look at that! I am on the second sock. We had a lovely getaway and I came back home Monday. I am still playing the great catch up game that I always do when I arrive home. On Friday I will post about our long weekend.

For now I am focusing on this second sock and this will probably be the last pair of socks for my husband for quite a while. (unless I change my mind!). These will not match and I have come to peace with that.

What are you working on this week?

    I did see on IG that you were in Hocking Hills (I think) - we were there several years ago and loved the area. Yay for sock #2. I wonder what will be next on your needles....

    I think fraternal socks are as delightful as identical twins! Welcome home ( I hear you on easing back into the "normal" routine! )

    You've knit quite a few socks for your husband, so it might be time to knit something for yourself!

    I chuckle every time you say the socks won't match and your ok with that! LOL! I imagine that is a hard thing! I am still looking for an easy adult sock pattern to make a pair with the yarn I have that will probably not match either! Hope you get caught up soon and looking forward to hearing about your weekend!

    Well look at that second sock cuff. I agree with Bonny, maybe it's time to knit something for yourself. I'm working on a shawl and a hat. I'm also doing a little hand stitching.

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).
