Good morning!

After a crazy weekend, I am fully restored to my default settings. I have been mainly knitting on two projects. The first is my lovely pullover, working slowly on the body of the sweater, this is my TV knitting later in the evenings because I cannot make a mistake.

I've also been steadily working on the baby blanket as well. I enjoy this pattern because I've knit it so much (this is the eighth time) and it is memorized. 

What are you working on this week?

    Such pretty colors. I need to take a trip to sleeve island on my current sweater but I am stalling and knitting socks and my habitation throw.

    With two big projects on the needles you might need a small hat or socks for a break!

    Such pretty yarns! I pulled out an old, neglected project with the thought of unraveling it...but decided I will carry on!

    Both of your projects are beautiful, Karen. I especially like the baby blanket that you are working on. I have 26 more rows to put on the baby blanket I am working on and then the edging.

    The blanket has a warm color. This week I plan to finish a book I'm reading.

    I very rarely find knitting easy. I love the baby blanket pattern. I like the yarn for your sweater.

    These are such nice projects for a winter week. I'm valiantly trying to finish a shawl that's been languishing for quite some time. I'm ready to be finished with it.

    Nice projects! I am working on some socks; I am much better at starting than finishing though. I also have a sweater that's on Sleeve Island along with me.

    Such relaxing greens, heaven. After finishing the shawl, I'm going to be back working on my jumper. I tend to knit dishcloths/washcloths at knit & natter as I can't concentrate on more complicated patterns there.

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).
