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.

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).
