Good morning! How are you and how are your projects this week?

We are in a deep freeze and so I knit. It's one of the best things about being a knitter. I am almost done with the raglan increases of this sweater and hopefully by next week will be sailing through the body of the sweater! I've been enjoying this project immensely!

What are you working on?

    I need to get going on my cowl and mitts so I can wear them in this frigid weather!

    That yarn color is fabulous!! I'm knitting a sock...doing more stitching and reading than knitting these days. But, my intentions are good! LOL

    I'm working on a baby blanket...white because that's the yarn in my stash that will complete the project. :)

    I just frogged a hat I was almost halfway through because I finally noticed I'd done half of the cables wrong :-(. I'm back on track and it's looking better the second time. Sigh...

    At the moment I'm knitting a shawl for a lady. It should've been her Christmas present, oops! It's slightly fitted with a nice drape. Today she asked me to knit a washcloth, so I took that to Knit & Natter today x

    Don't you love it when a knitting project hits just the right creative spot? I'm so glad you are enjoying your sweater. I'm back to finishing up a Christmas themed sock.

    It's pretty chilly here, too, but not as cold as elsewhere. I am working on socks. Stay warm!

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...
