Flax Pullover

 

I finished our grandson's Christmas sweater last Thursday but only just photoed it yesterday. I am quite pleased with how it turned out. I made the 2-4T size and since he already is wearing 2T as I type this up. He's only going to grow!

What are you working on this week?

    That is a lovely pullover, especially with the autumn sunlight shining on it! I think it's a good thing you knit a slightly larger size so maybe it will fit him throughout this winter.

    What a lovely sweater! Knitting for toddlers is so satisfying (and quick!!).

    I love your sweater and I think I will have to make one for my granddaughter! My son and his family live in Vermont and they love hikes and camping....so a warm pullover would be great for her!

    Also, Happy World Arthritis Day.....I hope you are doing well. I am just (I hope) over a flare that stole my sleep everynight with leg and hip pains.....it is quite a balancing act between making sure I get enough activity in a day and making sure I don't over do it. I can go for weeks without even noticing and then I wonder if I really need the meds I take....then BAM.....I notice it.

      I am very lucky that I can manage my flares with adjustments to my day and over the counter medicines. My hips have been crazy from the long driving!!

      I am taking meloxicam, prednisone, and plaquinel. I am not sure on the spelling. I want to get off of some of them. I am hoping when I go in two weeks, he will let me start weaning off....but I have yet to have a perfect day...so we will see.......it is funny how for a day or two it is my shins and ankles, then it could be my hips.....then it might be one knee......so weird.

    What a sweet sweater. I made two sweaters from that pattern for one of my grandsons. He loved them. I'm betting your little guy will enjoy his new sweater too.

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

  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
