Knitting News

 


I continue to take it easy when it comes to knitting. Most evenings I work on these socks for my husband. I am on the second one! I'm excited about that. I limit myself to one hour a day on double pointed needles just to be extra cautious in babying my wrists. I believe this is working for me since I continue to improve.

What are you working on?

    When I first looked at the photo I wondered why you were knitting three socks, but I'm glad to see there are just two of them (and they are very nice socks)!

    I am having a bit of a sock-stravaganza here as well! May your wrists improve daily! XO

    That yarn is beautiful! I'm proud of you for limiting your knitting time. I know that isn't an easy thing to do.

    I am still working on my cardigan. This morning before coming into work I cast on the Journeyman hat. Still wish I could knit socks! LOL!

    Sure hope your wrists feel better soon! I am working on a MKAL and lots of other WIPs.

    I finished a pair of shortie socks (they are FAST!!). Now to choose some yarn for the next sock project! I do hope your wrists continue to improve and that you can add more knitting time.

    I'm glad you have found something that works for you. What a nice color for a gentleman's pair of socks. I'm chugging along on the sweater sleeve.

    I like the colourway, I'm pleased your wrists are coping and you still get to knit. I tried the dpns and small circular but have settled on the magic loop. At the moment I've just started a Rainbow baby cardigan for the WI charity request. However I now need to knit a helicopter for next month's WI competition & Guest speaker.

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
