Good morning! How are you? Right now, early this morning it is snowing! gah.

Yesterday, I took a much needed break from my second sleeve (not finished but nearly finished) and started a baby sweater for a family member. I found out there is yet another baby coming in the family and I will be knitting more blankets and sweaters in my future. According to Ravelry this is the seventeenth time I have knit this baby sweater pattern! 

I have already bought more yarn for another blanket this time going for a forest green and moving out of muted colors. I am happy to be knitting for babies to be.

What are you working on this week?

    I am wrangling some doctor appointments this week and dipping my "fingers" back into the color work pool and having fun!

    It really must be The Best Baby Sweater if you're knitting it for the 17th time!

    Wow! 17 times to knit a sweater is a lot!! Must be a good one. How exciting to have another baby in the family. I'm trying to stay steady with Semplice and not start anything new....

    How wonderful to have 17 babies to welcome with sweaters! A friend is expecting her first granddaughter next month and I'll be knitting another Lillie Rose Dress; I've made a few, but no where near 17!

    Holy cow! Seventeen baby sweaters is a wonderful record. I love those old familiar patterns.

    Snowed here in upstate NY also, almost looked like a blizzard for a bit, but nothing stuck. 17th one?!

    It sounds like a favourite sweater. I'm following along on the Lent Kal and reading. Things tend to slip if I don't keep at it.

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).
