My knitting has been minimal since I traveled to see the kids in Indiana last weekend. I did do some sock knitting on the way there but then the AC in the car went intermittent. The car was too hot for me to knit and I ached so I didn't do anything but grumble. Of course being with wiggly little ones made it impossible to knit!! (I was happy with the wigglers).

I pulled out my sweater yesterday and worked on the body edge ribbing. I have two more rows and then I get to do sleeves!! 

What are you working on this week?

    The sock looks good and you're really moving along with your sweater. You'll soon be wearing it!

    Your sock knitting makes me want to start a new sock! But I am staying true to my sweater which is so very close to being done..

    Your sweater is really coming along, Karen! I am on Sleeve Island myself and will be watching some Paralympics this week to make some progress!

    Nice progress on your sweater! Of course, playing with wiggly ones is a far better use of one's time than knitting!

    Both projects look great! I'm dying to start a sweater but I've got to get through all the craft shows I signed up for first. What was I thinking signing up for so many?? HOpe you can get your a/c fixed quickly and cheaply. This week is going to be brutal!

    I'm so glad you got to see the littles! and I love the pattern in that sock. I'm working on my first "fall" sweater this week - a wool vest - it was 95 today and I wonder when it might be cool enough to wear it?!

    That sweater is such a beautiful fall color. It's flying off your needles.

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

  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).
