Knitting News



To be honest I haven't worked on my sweater for over two weeks, but to keep the blog info current, I'm throwing in a photo.  Let's pretend I've knitted a stitch or two, okay?  If you remember, I ripped out the first try and now I'm down a garment size and starting over.  I'm nearly caught up on the big rip out though.



This is hat number THREE out of four!  Yes, I'm over half way over and I work on the hats every single night.  I predict that I will be done with all four hats by the end of November.  Phew!  They will be ready for tags and wrapping and stuffed into a Christmas stocking for my adult children.


This sweet cowl has seen a row or two, but not much.  I'm saving this for holiday visiting coming up because I can knit and talk at the same time and not make a mistake.  That is valuable during the holiday season.

I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving tomorrow if you are celebrating!!

What are you working on this week?

    You're going so fast on those hats! The rest of the knitting will get done after you finished the hats. It will be great to have your Christmas knitting all done so early! Great thinking on the holiday visiting project.
    I just finished a beret for my mom, made a little doily with some scraps and I'm thinking about what to make next.

    So fast with the hats! Christmas knitting is so much fun. Too bad I already finished all of mine. I am working on a blanket. It is Fair Isle, and very complicated. I choose it because it looks really nice when finished, but it is also quite difficult.

    I'm also working on knitting hats for Christmas gifts; you are my inspiration! Plus a whole lot of time in the kitchen working on Thanksgiving preparation, but I hope to finish up early today and fit in some more hat knitting!

    I'm still trying to knit more on my three WIP's but have been focused on prepping for turkey day.

    Truth be told I have not knit in days. I need to start the sleeves on a bottom up sweater and I am not confident. Hopefully I can do this on Friday hen the celebrations are over.

    I got a few rows in on my sweater yesterday before the family showed up. It was lovely. Hope you had a wonderful day.

    Lots of knitting going on at your house. Certainly I'll pretend you knitted stitches on that sweater. I finished my sweater the evening of Thanksgiving. Today I gave it a bath and it is blocking. I have a sock going but cast on a toddler/young child hat from some yarn left over from another project. I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving.

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

Hopefulness

Image
  Good morning! This week has been busy with classes and routine doctor appointments. The arthritis doctor has a few tricks up her sleeve for some of my dry mouth issues (from my autoimmune disease - Sjorgren's Syndrome) that make me feel hopeful. What was the most important thing during that doctor visit is that I felt seen and heard. I am thankful for her and her team. Speaking of hopefulness, look at my daffodils sprouting up! Some of the daffodils are just starting and some already have a head start. I love winter, but I'm looking forward to spring. The crocuses seem to be taking their time this year, as well as the snowdrops (unless those pesky deer have eaten them, grr). Even though I am still knitting my baby blanket, I have gathered four skeins of potential socks to be and am dreaming of a wonderful sock frenzy cast on.

New Year

  Good morning! How are you? Happy New Year, may this year be full of blessings to all of you. Well now, I finally have an empty home after having our son, daughter in law, grandson and granddaughter here for six nights.  I am still experiencing fatigue and symptoms from the virus even though I am feeling better. It was a challenge hosting family while recovering. Also we babysat the kids overnight (!!) while my son and daughter in law went for little getaway. I am thankful and grateful my Aunt came over both days to help out with the granddaughter who never sleeps during the day. (snack-naps do not count!). They all left early in the morning, and while I was tired, sleep deprived and fatigued, I put away Christmas plus all the toys and doodads you need for babies. Today I am looking at a squeaky clean house. I am planning on reading books and falling asleep while doing so! My exercise routine is on hold as I slowly get better. Maybe next week I can muster up some energy for some yoga
