Knitting News

 

Good morning! How are you all doing?

I finished the socks on Monday night and already started another pair of socks the same evening. He is proudly wearing these socks which makes me happy. I do not know how much knitting I will be getting done because I'm in the middle of an arthritis flare in my wrists. I wish I could be patient but alas, I am not.  I'm doing my best to knit briefly and then take a rest. 

What are you working on this week?

    The socks look nice and warm and you know your husband appreciates them since he wore them right away!

    The socks are wonderful...and wonderful that he immediately started wearing them! Your husband is extremely knit-worthy! Here's hoping your flare up calms down very, very soon.

    His feet thank you, I am sure. Still working on RCR socks over here. Wrist flare ups are worse than finger flares. At least with finger flares you can reposition the needles and still knit. Not so much with the wrist. Hope it improves soon.

    Those socks look great! Those arthritis flares can really be annoying. I am impatient for them to be over when they occur. Usually, I just find a different craft to work on until they subside.

    Oh friend...I'm so sorry about the arthritis flare. I know how painful they can be. But I love the socks! And just so you know...I am the same way when I have a crocheting project I am working on. I don't want to stop, even though I know it isn't the wise thing to do.

    I'm sorry you're in pain, I hope your wrists feel better soon. Your socks look good, they're obviously loved as they're worn already. Take care, Cathy x

    Terrific job on the socks. It is even better when they are wearer- approved. I hope the flare subsides sooner rather than later. That has to be frustrating.

    Great socks and I imagine your husband is quite happy to have them. I still find your heel interesting and have not seen a heel construction quite like it before. I think what I see as different is the bottom of the heel, it looks padded.

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
