Good morning, how are you doing? What have you been working on this week?

I've been thoroughly enjoying the endless sea of stockinette knitting of my sweater. When I was young, I didn't like mindless knitting, now I love it! Who am I? The knitting is easy and comforting, just what I need at this moment of time.

I'm also working on the first sock. They will probably not match (again). I fear I might run out of yarn if I try to match them up so I'm going rogue and letting the colors fall where they may!!

    You do like to live on the wild side, letting the colors fall where they may! :-)

    I am in Sock Knitting Camp as well... it is such a delightful place to be! :) But I really need to get cracking on my sweater... I am so close!

    Gosh that is a pretty sweater! I find mindless knitting to be a form of meditation. I don't think I have ever tried to really match up socks...just not important to me.

    I love that color of yarn that you are creating your sweater in! Just gorgeous. Such a beautiful autumn color. xx

      Me, too. Sunflower 🌻 or tumeric, saffron or maybe yellow ochre?

    I'm thinking ALL knitting is good knitting these days! I finished what I thought we be a last summer top over the weekend, and it fits so nicely, I cast on another one! There will be wool on my needles after this. I hope. if the temperature ever drops below 70?!

    That color is just wonderful! I am also in the round and round of a sweater and while I do love it (because it makes it easier to multi-task) I am also thinking about what is next.

    The color in that sweater is just gorgeous. I might have written this before. It reminds me of caramel. I'm just ready to split off the sleeves of the top I'm knitting. I look forward to the mindless stockinette.

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

  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
