Spruce Blanket

 

How are you doing on this fine Tuesday? Right now the sun is shining and I already took a first walk and will take a second short walk after dinner.

Well now, I finished the baby blanket! I am excited that I casted off over the weekend. Phew. I love to knit for babies and lucky for me it seems there is always a baby to knit for these days. 

It's been really busy here and that is why I wasn't around on Monday. I don't know why I have a ton of appointments and meetings that all bundle around each other. I'm the one that schedules them! I should know better because I get overwhelmed when there is too much going on. 

How are your projects going these days?

    The blanket is beautiful, Karen. I love that shade of green. And the stitching is exquisite. I was wondering about you when I checked in yesterday and figured you were either ill or busy. I prayed for you. I'm glad to know that you were just busy. I also understand the overwhelm. It can be daunting at times.

    Your baby blankets are the best! I am just working on a sock that has been on my needles for way too long.

    That's a great blanket! I love the color! I sometimes get overwhelmed when I have too many appointments in the same week too. I hope everything is going well and that you can relax and enjoy the rest of the week.

    Hurrah for that blanket finish! Well done you! I am happily knitting a vest... it has ingenious construction and brilliant instructions! I have completed all the "puzzle-y" bits and am on the "straight way" down the body! I will be done soon... Yay! I hope our spring provides lots of opportunities to wear it!

    What a super blanket. Love the color. Love the design. Now...what will be on your needles? I took a walk yesterday and again this morning...slowly building strength back up in my back. Slow going, but at least I'm going! LOL

    The baby blanket looks so cozy. What a lucky baby to snuggle into it. I am enjoying knitting a sock after a bit of a sock break.

    I love the baby blanket. Color, stitching and yarn are a great combo. And what I love most is that its an unexpected color for a baby. I think the new parents will really appreciate that!

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).
