Knitting News

 

I've been mainly working exclusively on two projects this past week. First up is the Good Things Scarf that is easy to knit and fun to knit. I'm using some mini-skeins as well as a gray sock yarn in between the mini-skeins.

The other project is the purple socks for my husband - I love to have socks on the needles because I can talk and knit without many mistakes, never say never though. 

Then in my imagination is a soon to be hat for me. I haven't started it, but I have been thinking about it!!

What are you working on this week?

    That scarf is simply so lovely Karen! And your husband's socks are moving right along. Love both projects. I'm trying to finish a Christmas sock before we leave next week.

    Love your projects! That is such an interesting scarf; I need to check out the pattern. I just finished my last two Christmas projects and can get back to work on some other things. Hurrah!

    I love the scarf! Beautiful! The purple socks remind me of watching the Donnie and Marie (Osmond) show back in the day. I think Donnie always wore purple socks on the show. It was a running joke. I hope you enjoy what's left of the week and that you have a good weekend. :-)

    You have two nice projects on the needles. I'm working on an advent scart/wrap.

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

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

  Good morning! How are all of you doing on this fine Monday morning? I'm back after having family here for nine nights (!). Our little granddaughter went back to ER this past Thursday for some oxygen monitoring and was successfully discharged the same day. She sees her doctor this afternoon in her hometown, so far she is feeling better. The miracle is that no one else came down with the virus. (maybe her dad but it was barely 48 hours of a mild cough). It's all about me and I'm glad that I didn't catch it. Our company left Friday morning. My husband and I blitzed the house like madmen. We put away all the toys, playpens, the highchair and compressed our kitchen table down from seating six to seating four people. I completed four loads of laundry that day. (let me tell you that little baby and grandson generated a load of laundry per day - and both kids generated a bag of garbage daily - I do not remember any of this when my kids were little). We strategically went thro
