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! :-)

    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.

      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.

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! How are you? How was your weekend? I had a great weekend but I didn't take any great photos. I've been wrapping presents a little bit each day instead of doing it all in one massive long day. This has made a difference in my joy as I wrap. Do you wrap all at once? Or do you do a little bit at a time? Miss Holly has been finding the sun spots and getting her 'tan' going. She is a sweetie. I have no idea what she is watching outside that window. She does that every day. My guess is probably birds or chipmunks but chipmunks should be resting now that it's super cold outside. Sadly I did not take any photos of my knitting, but I have been knitting! I continue to work on my husband's hat and I ripped out a pair of mitts I started (couldn't see the dark yarn with cabling) and started a much simpler pattern instead. Sunday was church then the laundry. I am getting excited for the upcoming holidays. The kids are coming back with the grandchildren and...
