Joining in with Ginny today...
it's been awhile since I've sat with these needles....
loving the quiet rhythm of counting stitches.
Joe made me that beautiful yarn bowl...
he's crafty, but you already knew that.
Nearly halfway through my test knit for my friend Jackie.
Loving that yellow. Swoon....
Hoping to share the finished knit with you sometime next week.
And this book just arrived (after a long wait) from the library.
Looking forward to starting it this evening.
Are you knitting anything?
xo,

I Knitted my first hat of the season and am proud to say it took only one day to finish( bulky yarn) .Already wrapped and gifted.Still trying to figure out the correct RT andLT method. They had many different demo's for the same stitch. Confusing. The hat came out cute dispite a difference in the patten. Now I'm addicted again. I can't start a new knitting project till I'm finished with my fall chores.

Glad to see you are getting back in the swing of things....
I am knitting a large purple square, not sure what it is yet!

Neat yarn bowl! I love the yarn color. I'm curious to see what it turns out to be!

I am never not knitting. Today I'm working on 35's. Quick & easy with beautiful wool.

Pretty bowl, pretty knitting and I've heard such wonderful things about that book, I can't wait to hear your opinion.

Having finished two winter hats for my girls, I am now working on their scarves. And my mom has finally asked if I would make her something after 10 years. So I'll be making a cowl too. :)

I love that beautiful colour too! I have a weakness for yellow, it just makes you happy. I am waiting for the same book to arrive from the library - I think I have snuck up the list to about 5th in line!

I just got that book in the mail today! I have only read the introduction so far, but I am really looking forward to it!

That book looks great - just added it to my "to read" list. And I"m loving that yellow yarn...

I love those quick accessory knits. My favorites :)
Posted by: Stephinie | November 06, 2014 at 07:10 AM
It does make me happy. That is exactly why I chose this color :) I've been waiting on that library list since before the book was out. So happy to finally have it!
Posted by: Stephinie | November 06, 2014 at 07:11 AM
It looks so good! I won't have a chance to open it until tomorrow, but it's tucked into my knitting bag for the road trip that day!
Posted by: Stephinie | November 06, 2014 at 07:12 AM
The introduction is really good! And that yarn..... Jackie always does such a wonderful job!
Posted by: Stephinie | November 06, 2014 at 07:12 AM
I can't wait to read it. Hoping to finish it & the knitting project on our NY trip this weekend. And the yarn is so beautiful. This is my third project with Jackie's yarn. Always love knitting with it :)

Well that book looks darn interesting. I'll have to check the library myself, thank you! Your buttery yarn looks beautiful too. Good projects!
Posted by: Brenda | November 06, 2014 at 07:48 AM
Lovely colour. Sunshine and earth put together. I love the look of that book you have too. I am forever looking for help and inspiration on this unique path of ours. Thank you for sharing.

Good morning and many hugs!
I'm glad that my note the other day came through the way I had hoped. I really struggled for a couple of days with how to put "listening quietly" into words. (It's almost counter-intuitive.) And I didn't want silence to be construed as absence. We're here when you need us - for the ups as well as the downs.
As for that yarn and the book - they look fantastic. But it's that crafty husband that has me floored! Is there anything that he can't do??? I clicked on the link because the bowl looked intriguing, and I not only loved those beautiful kids covered in clay, working with their dad, but the potter's bench was gorgeous! Very very cool. What did you end up doing with all of those pots? (I'm the kind of mom that keeps EVERYTHING my kids make, and I always wonder, what do other people do with their kids' art?)

I am knitting an aran lumber cardigan, a pair of socks and a pair of mittens to go with a hat I just finished as a Christmas gift. I'm also about to embark on a pair of fingerless gloves (black with a red cuff with white buttons) to look like mickey because my daughter is moving to Orlando for a semester to work at Disney! Yippee!!! But that is it ... I'm committed to finish this aran soon.

A cowl inspired by Outlanders. I don't watch but my childhood BF requested and even supplied me with the beautiful yarn.
