Knitting News

 


Good morning! It's a steamy hot day today and I'm sitting inside loving the AC, also I am grateful I have AC. My knitting update isn't very exciting. We had company over the weekend and yesterday I spent the whole day recovering from a brief (but painful) stomach virus. I'm fine now but all I did was nap on and off the entire day. I also slept great through the night!

The leg warmers for my mother in law are coming along nicely. I am nearing the end of the stockinette part of the first leg warmer.

What are you working on this week?

    Glad you are feeling better. I love the color of the leg warmers...so fun! Extremely hot at our house too....but better than snow. Have a good week.

    Tummy bugs are not nice. Glad you are better. We saw on the news last night, how hot the east coast is this week. And with y'alls humidity......just horrible. When we lived in the Philly area, we were the only people with central.A/C in our neighborhood. Everyone else had windo units. So guess whose house was the favorite for visiting during hot humid days.

    I'm sorry to hear about the stomach bug you had. It sounds as if it was miserable. I understand about the heat! It's been crazy, but I, like you, am thankful for our air conditioning. Hope you have a good remainder to your week, Karen. xx

    June has been SO HOT ... and those leg warmers remind me it won't be this hot forever (and certainly not in Canada where your MiL lives). I'm still knitting the body of the white summer cardigan ... it's slow going, but perfect for watching TV or listening to an audiobook.

    June has been unseasonably warm in many parts of the country. I worked on a sock during plane flights. I do love the color of those legwarmers. How do you like knitting with Chroma?I'm also wondering if my comments are appearing.

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

Hopefulness

Image
  Good morning! This week has been busy with classes and routine doctor appointments. The arthritis doctor has a few tricks up her sleeve for some of my dry mouth issues (from my autoimmune disease - Sjorgren's Syndrome) that make me feel hopeful. What was the most important thing during that doctor visit is that I felt seen and heard. I am thankful for her and her team. Speaking of hopefulness, look at my daffodils sprouting up! Some of the daffodils are just starting and some already have a head start. I love winter, but I'm looking forward to spring. The crocuses seem to be taking their time this year, as well as the snowdrops (unless those pesky deer have eaten them, grr). Even though I am still knitting my baby blanket, I have gathered four skeins of potential socks to be and am dreaming of a wonderful sock frenzy cast on.

New Year

  Good morning! How are you? Happy New Year, may this year be full of blessings to all of you. Well now, I finally have an empty home after having our son, daughter in law, grandson and granddaughter here for six nights.  I am still experiencing fatigue and symptoms from the virus even though I am feeling better. It was a challenge hosting family while recovering. Also we babysat the kids overnight (!!) while my son and daughter in law went for little getaway. I am thankful and grateful my Aunt came over both days to help out with the granddaughter who never sleeps during the day. (snack-naps do not count!). They all left early in the morning, and while I was tired, sleep deprived and fatigued, I put away Christmas plus all the toys and doodads you need for babies. Today I am looking at a squeaky clean house. I am planning on reading books and falling asleep while doing so! My exercise routine is on hold as I slowly get better. Maybe next week I can muster up some energy for some yoga
