Good morning! How are you?

My knitting has been on fantastic. I continue to limit how much time I spend on my knitting so I avoid and prevent a wrist flare coming back. I have been quite successful. Since I'm limiting the amount of time I knit, my progress is slow.

The socks are coming along nicely. Today I should be at the heel flap and once I turn a heel the rest is down hill for me. I swore these were the last pair of socks but I will be making more just not for my husband. I a few people I could knit socks for the holidays. I'm still thinking about it.

The lace scarf (which is a holiday gift) is growing! I love to sit and do a few repeats each day mid morning. I cannot do anything else since it's lacework so it's meditative for me.

What are you working on this week?

    Even though neither me or my husband really "need" more socks, I keep knitting them! Your lace scarf is so pretty. What a lovely shade of yarn.

    Love those socks! I too am working on a scarf. Not very lacy but it's a 4 row repeat vine lace. Easily memorized. I do a couple repeats a day on it. It's just for me so I have until winter to get it done. Hope you have a wonderful Memorial weekend!

    The lace scarf is just beautiful. I love the color of the yarn with the lace pattern. When I'm in the right frame of mind, I love knitting lace. I agree with you - it is meditative.

    Lovely knitting, the scarf is beautiful. I've not been knitting lately, I've been reading whilst getting over a cold. Must get back to it x

    Your knitting is just lovely. The person that receives the scarf is going to be very lucky...and stylish!

    I am working on a bit more balance with knitting and stitching and paying attention to my joints. I have been fortunate to avoid most of the common over-knitting issues but my aging body appreciates it when I take breaks. That scarf is really pretty.

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).
