Pumpkin Sunrise

Saturday was spent watching   I Love Lucy  reruns and lots and lots of knitting.  My mother loved to watch this show and it seems my daughter finds it quite hilarious.  Could this be genetic?  Who knows, but it was funny to watch.  Ethyl was wearing a lovely shrug that happens to be back in style. Some time ago (sorry cannot remember when) my husband and I watched Act I of Fiddler on the Roof   but never finished the musical.  You can guess what we viewed Saturday night.  For some reason I do not recall the musical being so sad.  Keep in mind, I got the pleasure of hearing "Tradition" being sung by my husband the rest of the evening.  Always entertaining and a mood lifter! Sunday was church then the never ending laundry chores.  In a couple of weeks (gasp!) I will only be washing clothes for two.  It boggles my mind and I wonder if I will adjust to less laundering. Time will tell, I guess.  Joining Amanda at Habit of Being

A few of you have asked what my daughter is knitting.  So I snapped some photos to show everyone.  The cowl she just finished this weekend she started last October.  It was hibernating for quite some time in her dorm room then her room. I think it was half way done.  This is the pattern  and she used some of my left over Malabrigo Worsted doubled up.   She just started the hat (above) three days ago.  The yarn is Galway and here is the pattern .  This is her first time using circulars and also doing K2tog and SSK.  So far, so good.  Once she gets to the crown of the hat she will have to use double pointed needles.  She is planning on taking some (I hope a lot) of my unwanted yarn stash and knit stuff. I have about three inches done on the body of the featherweight cardigan .  I am just chugging along on my sweater.  I am very pleased with being on size four needles (I think the pattern calls for six!).  It has a nice crisp look. I still have no idea what the buttonband design wil
