Knitting News

 


I continue to work on the hitchhiker shawl, mostly in the evenings while watching some TV shows. I have around 35 teeth already completed. Luckily for me, I have a second skein to get to the 41 teeth goal or maybe beyond? I'm thinking of making yet another one after I did through my yarn stash. This might be the summer of hitchhiker shawls. Something easy and portable. 

What are you working on this week?

    The colors in this one are lovely and Hitchhikers are definitely easy and portable. Enjoy!

    Such pretty colors in this one Karen. UYou've stepped ahead of me - I think I am only at 23 or 25 teeth so far. Slow and steady...

    That sure is going to be a pretty shawl, and I love the yarn which is my very most favorite color! Now I'm inspired to knit this pattern as well. Thanks!

    I'm powering through second sock syndrome and working on the second A Little Hocus Pocus sock. I've had to frog it back to the ribbing TWICE. (This is not a knit with friends pattern, obviously.)

    Reading: Nothing yet. Hoping to dig into a book tonight after chores are done.

    I think a summer of Hitchhikers would be lovely (and I love that our resident Hitchhiker Queen Bonny was first to comment!) ... especially if you can use up some stash in the process. I'm slowly knitting a sweater (body done, sleeve #1 nearly done ... still a ways to go) and more enthralled with my books and a quilting project, so it's likely the sweater will take a while longer.

    A summer of hitchhikers sounds grand. This one is very pretty. Summer is all about the easy and portable.

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
