Knitting News

 


Good morning! How are you doing? 

My knitting news this week is very little. The baby blanket is almost done which I am excited about. I haven't knitted much this week because of being 'busy'. I've had routine doctor checkups that seem to be bundled all at the end of February and beginning of March (!) and we are looking at houses for our son and daughter in law. When I get home I am just too tired to think straight.

Luckily I've got a few days to catch up with my knitting, reading and thoughts before the next house viewing this weekend. 

What are you working on this week?

    The work on the blanket is so tiny and precise. I really like it!

    What am I working on? Hm...exercise and cleaning, also praying.

    House looking is exciting but also tiring and a bit overwhelming. Good luck!

    that's a fab blanket, love the colour. I've just cast on a Stephen West Garter Marler Sweater to use up all my scraps, so far am loving it.

    That baby blanket sure is pretty! Some little one is going to love it. I'm working on some little hats for the neighbor girls that brought us a surprise Valentine's gift. One done for Mama, and another just about done, so I am getting there!

    I loved house hunting when our son was moving here. But, you are correct, it can wear you out. Looks like the baby blanket is getting near completion. I hope all your Dr appts are filled with good news.

    I would be exhausted with all those doctor appointments and then house hunting on top of that. Good luck!!

    You are getting that blanket done so fast. When I crocheted my grandson a baby blanket it took me months. LOL

    The blanket is a lovely colour, delicate pattern too. I'm knitting a jumper and considering a Lent KAL. It's meant to be a lap blanket size in chunky yarn or a table mat in DK. Also reading a book ready for the book club on Friday. I don't like it, so doubt I'll finish it x

    House hunting is exhausting and exciting. The blanket looks so soft and warm. I am working on a maybe sweater and a scarf from handspun.

    Seeing that baby blanket makes me want to learn to knit! It is beautiful, Karen!

    I think the blanket looks beautiful! And it looks like there's not much left to go.

    The blanket is looking great! I spent a lot of last week knitting (finished a sweater), reading, and meeting up with friends. The weeks I'm here at home are full of coffee dates, knitting, and (yay!) in-person bookgroup meetings!

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).
