Good morning!

How have you been? How are your projects coming along? Even though the warm weather is trying to edge in, in my heart I am knee deep in autumn. No one can stop me!

I'm on the second sleeve of my sweater, making great gains and enjoying the process. I thought the sweater might be a bit off in sizing but I tried it on and I think it's going to be okay. Also blocking does wonders squeezing out a bit of wiggle room. Phew!

    Hooray for fall (even if the thermometer is in the mid 80s) and hooray for a new sweater soon!

    I love the color of your fall sweater. I am almost done with my new hat and my blanket is slow going.

    I LOVE that pattern and the color is perfect for fall AND your coloring. I've been spending a lot of time on the election, and BeSMART, and whole days have gone by where I didn't knit and barely read. At least Lucy makes sure I get out for at least one good walk! Happy FALL!

    That sweater! I love it! And I also like the runner that you have on the coffee table. Brings in that bit of autumn we are so fond of. xx

    I knit the Felix pullover last year and it was quickly a wardrobe favorite. I am working on an Isabell Kraemer sweater with a color work yoke - no surprise there!

    Pretty soon you'll be wearing that lovely sweater.

    I noticed this morning that the trees across from my house are already turning. It's about 3 weeks early.

    What a lovely colour your sweater is. It has definitely cooled here, we have a fire lit this evening.

    You are making such good progress on this beautiful sweater. The pumpkins on the table piece are so sweet too. Hooray for fall.

    Great progress on your sweater. You know I love that color. Even though the days are warm again, the nights and early mornings feel like FALL.

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
