Here we are, the first Wednesday in November, where has the year gone? We had the first mild frost on Saturday and a sharp frost yesterday, the shame was yesterday turned to rain after a promising start.
My WIP's this week are -
Lady Kina, is still as it was 2 weeks ago, oh the shame, but as this is for me I feel I can leave it for a while.
Two gifts in progress - the first is the Childry Shawl knitted with Zettl Cortina - 75% super wash wool/25% polymide. This is a very easy knit, I learned a new cast-on - backward loop, very easy and stretchy and ideal for 'cast on type' buttonholes I found.
The Oliver jumper knitted in King Cole Big Value yarn
Not much reading has been done - still working my way through the Miss Reads, but with a holiday coming up I hope to get plenty of reading and knitting done. For more WIPs go to Tamis or Ginny's
I like the colors in the shawl.
ReplyDeleteYou managed to knit a whole sweater for yourself! Even if you never get to the finishing that is major from my world view! The shawl looks pretty and I love it when a pattern teaches some little way to do things different hopefully better.
ReplyDeleteAll three are gorgeous! Great color choices
ReplyDeleteThat is an amazing blue!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I love your view of the roofs! And your projects are beautyful. I hope you can find enough time for finishing. Have a good week!
ReplyDeleteYou've been working on more gifts? You are so disciplined! Although I suppose fun patterns and soft yarn choices doesn't make it so bad. You are definitely going to be ready for the holidays!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful palette of fall colours in your Childry. Looks scrumptious!
ReplyDeleteIt always makes me feel better when I see other knitters with multiple projects on the go. If those gifts are for Christmas it looks like you are on track to get them finished in time!
