Knitting News

 


I added that pop of blue yarn for the nearly finished hitchhiker shawl. I am so close to being finished! I did not knit in the car on the way to and from Cambridge, MA last weekend. I just didn't feel like it. Sometimes I do knit and sometimes I just talk to my husband and look out the window. 

What are you working on this week?

    I love that nice blue color you added! My husband always jokes about my car knitting. I hate to waste time sitting in the car, but I often end up ripping out my many mistakes.

    Love the Robin's Egg Blue that you've added to your Hitchhiker - a lovely touch. I never knit in the car. I'm too busy either looking at the scenery or telling Fletcher how to drive (or I'm the one driving). LOL

    Ooo! I really like that blue on your Hitchhiker! Sometimes observing new surroundings is more compelling than my head buried in my knitting! Good choice you!

    The blue gives a wonderful pop of color to the shawl. Watching the scenery while on a road trip is so nice. Being in a close space with a loved one is also a good time to really talk about things. Makes a long road trip so memorable.

    A very happy pop of color.

    How fun! I need to do that pattern some day, but am trying to work on all of my many unfinished projects. Wish me luck!

    that blue really pops! I'm working on church stuff this week ... and if I can get it wrapped up, planning to treat myself to time getting a 2nd quilt started!

    The blue is a perfect color! I am like you sometimes knit in the car and sometimes not.

    The blue and brown compliment each other nicely. I'm getting ready for company so my knitting time has been limited. I'm plugging away on a shawl of leftovers and thinking about Norah's sweater.

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
