Knitting News

 

Good morning! How are you doing?

We are in the deep freeze and it's so cold that schools are closed which includes the daycare our grandchildren go to each day. We have been babysitting while the parents go to work. 

I have been busy knitting many projects. First off is the mystery hat above. My son started knitting this over 10 years ago and never finished it (he had two inches done). When they moved here, he gave me the unfinished hat. I am not making a Ravelry page since I cannot remember the yarn (I think it is old Malabrigo...). However Simple Moss Stitch Hat is the pattern! Of course I gave him back the finished hat. Oh and yes, we have the same knitting gauge, it's genetic!

Next up is a cowl started for me! My sister gave me this mini skein set for my birthday and I'm have fun knitting a simple cowl while watching TV.

Last but not least, I started another musselburgh hat for me. I love this pattern and how warm the hat is during extreme cold temperatures. Also once I finish the increasing, the knitting is meditative because of the endless stockinette stitch. I love it so!

I started reading Tom Lake. I haven't made much progress since the weekend because of the daycare closing and the grands being here in the house. Once the cold snap is over, I'll be reading once more.

What are you working on this week?
