Good morning! How are you?

Today is the last day of a heatwave (supposedly...). I am so over the hot weather! Anyways how are your projects coming along. As I said on my last post, I was struggling with breaks in the yarn for the baby sweater.I started a new skein and so far it's been absolutely fine. 

I also started earlier this week a pair of socks for my husband. I am enjoying immensely a NON baby knitted item!!!

What are you working on this week?

    I have my fingers crossed for the break in the heat... it is just miserable outside! I am in the "knit all the baby things" mode! It is so fun... but you are right, it does feel good to knit something bigger!

    Hi Karen,
    ...I'm so glad the second skein is better...and those look like some pretty bright and colourful socks...
    ~Have a lovely day!

    I'm currently not working on anything, but I was happy to hear that the new skein of yarn isn't giving you fits. Love the colors for the socks...and this peek into your living room.

    DH's sock color is very handsome.

    I have a lot of new cast ons that I will share all through August. I'm summoning up autumn!

    I love the beginning of a sock. I continue to work on socks and the blue shawl. Honestly the blue shawl has turned into a bit of a slog but I am getting ever closer to the bind off.

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...

  Good morning! How are you and how is your crafting coming along? I continue to work feverishly on the christening blanket and am now mulling over how to finish it off without doing all of the remaining charts. I do not have much yarn left with the second skein. I do have a third optional color (similar to the first one) but I'm not sure if I want that and most of all I don't know if 500 yards will give me an additional inch of pattern based on how many inches I obtained with the second skein.  If I could get the blanket to be 36 inches wide and long (it's a square!) I feel that would be enough of a blanket. So my wonderings are: how many add inches in blocking will I get? Definitely one inch per quadrant but would I get two inches? Three inches might be right out! Also, how do I finish it off? I am going to flip through some of my other knitting books for some ideas. Overall, I have loved knitting this and I'm excited to get it off the needles and give it a blocking....

  Good morning lovely people! How are you? How's the weather?  We are having a crazy heat wave and I am so done with it. I got into my car yesterday early evening after it was parked in the sun for 2 1/2 hours. The car registered 97 degrees. Good gracious!! My knitting have been a lot of fun this week. The top photo is yet again another baby sweater , this time for our grandbaby-to-be. You know I love to knit baby sweaters, they knit up so very fast. Below is the small baby blanket that has seen only a few rows added since the last time I took a photo. What have you been working on this week?
