Knitting News

 

Good morning! How are all of you? The weather has been snowy and so I've been knitting up a storm. First off is my fair isle hat that I have not worked on lately. I wanted to document with a photo and maybe it will spur me on to picking it up and working on it.

Next project is my lovely cowl. I love working on this because the wool is squishy and soft. The color is one of my favorites to wear and I'm eager to get this done. However, I am enjoying the savoring of each delightful stitch.

Last but not least is my new fair isle sweater that took four cast ons to get right. I am loving how the colors play together and every evening I am knitting away thinking 'just one more row'. It's a delightful headspace to be in.

What are you working on?

    Your projects always inspire me. I so want to learn fair isle knitting this year. Your is always so pretty. The colors of you sweater are so pretty. Do you choose all the colors yourself or are they ones used in the pattern?

    Such pretty projects. You and your knitting are an inspiration. I am working on my purple sweater, a sock, and now and again a scrap blanket.

    Your projects are always so pretty! At the moment I am working on a X-stitch project because my thumbs have been hurting ever since I knitted that baby blanket with big needles and big yarn. I'm also trying to remember how to piece a quilt!

    You are one talented lady all three projects are a delight. I am working on some crochet roses to make some hair bows for the grand daughters. It is a joy to get little messages from them showing me things that they like.

    I love when intricate patterns are done in one tone of yarn. Your cowl looks impressive.
    And your sweater...wow! Im loving working the needles again.

    I am jealous of your knitting. Seeing everyone's progress makes me kind of sad as my elbows ache. I plan to switch to sewing hopefully tomorrow since I'm not working out for the first day of new year (can't wash my hair) and I do have new supplies to practice calligraphy. I'm determined to learn brush lettering also.

    I am knitting the body of a sweater ... top down, around and around ... I am loving the yoke on your sweater (sent me down a fun rabbit hole when I saw the latest photo on IG yesterday :-)

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
