Knitting News

 


Good morning! 

I have been working daily on this baby blanket making steady progress in the hopes of finishing it by the weekend. Having said that, I'm sure I've jinxed myself and will not finish it. But that is okay, the baby shower for my grand-nephew-to-be isn't for a few weeks. I'd also like to knit a little sweater as well which I haven't started yet.

What have you been working on this week?

    Such a pretty blanket. What pattern are you using? I'm knitting socks (naturally).

    A Scatterby Sock on the needles over here. I am sure both the blanket and sweater will be accomplished before the baby shower. You've got this, Karen.

    That is a sweet blanket and I bet you'll be done by this weekend. I'm still plodding along on a Hitchhiker.

    The knitting has taken a back seat to the stitching this week (and cleaning out the Yarn Cupboard... sigh)

    I haven't been stitching much. My mind is so unsettled with the busyness of the week. The only stitching I've managed is a few squares on my scrappy blanket. They don't take much brain space.

    That's one lucky baby and such a pretty blanket-to-be! I just finished a huge pair of socks (13") for my grandson's friend and am homing in on a sweater finish. And of course there are lots of other things to finish, too.

    What a warm cozy pretty blanket. I am working on a shawl, a sweater, and a cowl. Most often three is the magic number of projects - for me.

    That baby blanket is gorgeous, Karen! It almost makes me want to learn to knit. You have really been making good progress on it!

    The blanket is coming along nicely! Not much knitting at my end … it’s been a crazy 🤪 week.

    Beautiful! Will you make a baby cardigan? So much easier to put on compared to a pullover. I have a few for cardigans our little guy! I also have a knit vest that is great, just a warm layer around his middle.

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
