Hello! How are you doing?

My knitting progress has been fantastic. I'll admit the cool weather helps motivate me immensely. First off, I finished those socks and am now done with sock holiday knitting. I like the way they turned out and will probably not knit socks until mid December for my husband, but never say never.

Below is the progress of my grandson's holiday sweater. I am thoroughly enjoying this project, the yarn is divine and the pattern is easy-peasy. I hope to finish the first sleeve today.

What are you working on this week?

    Wow! You are really going at it! I wish I were that fast, my blanket wouldn't be taking me so long. LOL! it is supposed to measure 60 x 60 and I am only 17 inches done. Trying to stay focused on it and not start anything new but it is so hard not to! LOL! Happy Wednesday and Happy knitting!

    Very pretty colors on the socks. Someone is going to love them. Your Grandson's sweater looks nice and warm. Working with a yarn that is divine makes a project go so much easier.

    Sweaters for our little people are so fun! I am knitting sleeves this week - so close to a new sweater!

    Oh, those socks look great! I love the color. And that little sweater looks so nice!
    I'm not making anything at the moment, but I am hoping to get back at it soon and knit or crochet something for my grandson.

    look at you with holiday knitting so well in hand!! I'm still working on the cardigan test knit (seeded rib isn't fast) and enjoying murder mysteries on audio.

    I just got out my crochet this week. A friend (a nun) invited me to go to Rhinebeck for the wool fest! It will be my 1st and I'm SO excited. I have a handwriting sweater with wood buttons I'll wear.

    I like how Flax is working out for you. It's a lovely sweater. I've thought about making one for my grandson (1 yo). I'm currently knitting a hoody that zips up the back for him. Until I looked for the link, I didn't realize that I haven't updated the project in a few weeks. I am currently playing yarn chicken as I try to finish the arms. I invite you to visit me at my blog, Harvest Lane Cottage.
    Be blessed!

    Flax is such a classic pattern. Yours is so handsome. I'm working on socks and mittens this week. I hope to get to a small quilting project this weekend.

    The socks are great...lucky person who will receive them. I have cut down my holiday knitting. I used to make presents for 10 people, and now just a couple. The little sweater is moving right along. Love the color.

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).
