Knitting News

 


Good morning! How are all you lovely people? 

My knitting this week has been slow. I am feeling better and because of that I am knitting once more. On the left is a simple cowl of my own design that I call knit doodling. The pattern is two rows of knit one purl one, one knit row then one purl row. That's it, then I go on repeat. 

To be honest the hat on the right hasn't been touched until I took the project out of my bag for this photograph!

I ended up going to express care on Monday for some modern magical medicine to treat a nasty sinus infection. I would love to tell you all about my resolutions and plans for the new year. Sadly the extended family visit and nearly three weeks of feeling awful have waylaid any intentions. Sitting upright was my goal yesterday, ha ha ha.

I am eager to get back to my regular exercise routine and of course knit something new. Non-credit courses start back up again in a few weeks as well.

What are you working on this week?

    I am making myself some sock mystery bags to inspire me to knit socks this year! (like the Yarn Harlot did... I am not aiming for a dozen though! lol)

    I hope you achieved sitting up and that you're feeling better soon. Knitting something cheerful like the cowl on the left might help. I thought it was crocheted at first, but the knitting needles say otherwise!

    I love the colors in the yarn of the cowl. So pretty.

    Like Bonny said, the cowl almost looks like crochet. The colors are so cheerful and spring-like they will certainly cheer anyone up on a winter's day. I sure hope you are feeling better soon. I'm afraid I may have caught the cold that Fletch had. Yuck! I'm knitting a hat, fingerless mitts and socks!

    Love the yarn that you are using for your cowl and thought at first it was crochet too. I’m working on a sock, a vest and enjoying a little spinning. Glad to hear you are beginning to feel better.

    I started a colorwork yoke sweater and it's so fun to see the pattern showing up. Take care of yourself and feel better soon!

    I hope you achieved your goal of sitting upright and that the modern medicine is helping you feel better The cowl will be pretty with the spring-like colors. I'm working on a shawl and fingerless mitts but I'm itching to cast on a sweater and a hat. Why is it that the next project is always more enticing?

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
