Art Project Time of the Year

Hi Dear  Blog Readers...

It's been a great week to walk with all of my handmade woolens...Joe says I look like an ART PROJECT with all of the different things I'm wearing to keep warm. Yea!  I'll own that!

This week I finished up the Luna Moth shawl I found in deep (really deep) stash.  I just added 4 rows (very very long rows) of garter and bound off. I think it's great.

Shaffer yarn (that has been out of business for many years now).

It's a nice size to wear around my shoulders or wrap around my neck. 

Finished up the socks in Garthenor Organic yarn.  I need to start another pair to work in at nursing home.

 

Started a raglan sweater for Mason..not sure if it will be for Christmas or not. Too early for a picture.

Ruth is working away on her Beautiful  Asterie by Natasja Hornby Moonstruck Knits Sweater.

Longmeadow Farm yarn., That yarn is becoming one of my favorites!

Martha has  done only a couple of rows on her beautiful hat, so no picture to show.

In other news:

I got to see the grands this weekend.  

Here is little Charlotte Jane...11 months old this week. Her new brother will be here in 7 short weeks,

Tiffany took her boys to a pumpkin farm this weekend.

Have a good week dear blog readers.

NO Blog Next week. Ruth, Martha and I will be at Rhinebeck.

Octoberish

 Hi Dear  Blog  Readers....

It's 75 degrees here in Western New York as I write the blog.  Windy. Storms later...and...it will feel like October this week I hear.  

I managed to knit a hat for Jayce this week. The larger one will go to Mason. I made Jayce's two sizes smaller and it will fit!  yea

Little Pumpkin Hat

Size 5 Needles, Cascade 220 yarn

Ruth is working on a new pretty sweater.  The pattern is starting to pop now.

Pattern is Asterie by Natasja Hornby Moonstruck Knits. Yarn is Longmeadow Farm. Wool alpaca, and llama.

 Martha is working on her Sparkling Cider  hat. So pretty and fluffy looking.

In other news:

This was the pretty sky on my early morning walk today...so vibrant.

Dinner last night. Pasta with fresh tomatoes and zucchini.  Yummy

 I've been listening to audio books on the Libby app (library).  I have listened to a few now on the way to from nursing home to see dad. It's a longish drive.  I actually like it and look forward to the books.  Once thing I have noticed is the narrator makes or breaks a good listen.  The one I am listening to now is not the best narrator, but I like the story.  What do you think?

 Have a great week dear blog readers!

Life Made Me Late

 Hi Dear Blog Readers...

I've been so busy this week...soooo busy....that I am a day late with the blog.  

Only knitting I've done is to work on the 2nd sock a bit.

Ruth is working on her pretty Seldon and Leonard shawlette. I love the edging..so dainty

Marthas sent pictures of her completed hat in different views.

So nice....love the sheep!

In other news:

Tiffany, Mason, Jayce and I went to Alpaca Farm days this weekend.  Two farms. Not quite as much stuff as last year. Jayce loved the alpacas.

We celebrated Mason's birthday again!  He had a FOURwheeler party.

Miss Charlotte had fun

I got the fun job of watching Mason and Jayce while Tiffany got ready for the party.

One example of why I was so tired last night:

Have a great week dear blog readers!

Officially fall

 Hi Dear Blog Readers...

We are officially in Fall. The weather here has been quite warm....hello air conditioner! But it cools down so nice in the evenings.

I finished up this Little Pumpkin Hat today.  Tried it on Jayce yesterday and I think it will fit nicely...hopefully.  While it was on his head half the stitches came off the needles...I should have known better.  Now it just needs blocking.

Size 6 needles

Cascade 220 yarn from stash

I like the little ear flap detail

Ruth is working away on her beautiful little shawl.

Martha finished up this darling hat today

In other news:

I got out for walks most everyday this week. I walk in the very early morning. The moon looked like a Cezane painting a couple of days.

Mason is 4 today....He and Jayce had a sleepover last night because Tiffany and Mark were at a wedding, so I made pancakes for breakfast and we sang to him.

I had to share this picture of Tiffany she sent me from the wedding.

They took Mason to the trampoline park today.  Jayce  had fun too.

Have a good week dear blog readers.

Oldies But Goodies.

 Hi Dear Blog Readers.

Not much news  this week...another week of not much knitting..though I did dream about it a lot...that is progress!  Worked a tiny bit on the sock.

I started a hat for Jayce. Little Pumpkin hat..so he has one for fall. It seems like he gets the hand me downs, so I wanted something just for him.

I was cleaning a closet and found this sweater, mitten, hat combo I made probably 20 years ago just because for my first granddaughter.  I had some style then. No clue what the pattern is even.  It's a kimono sweater...maybe I can find it.  Not sure if little Charlotte will wear it or not.

I found this also.  It's probably a 18 or 24 month size.  I may send to my cousin for her little granddaughter.

And I found this!  Luna Moth shawl. Free pattern from Elan when they were in business way back when. Schaffer yarn..they are out of business too.  It's from about 2009.   I think I will just do a few rows of garter and bind off. Im not into the big shawls anymore....I prefer shawlettes.

Ruth was away this week and working on a shawl.  Pretty green!

Martha made a lot of progress on her hat this weekend..so cute.

In other news:

Tiffany and Mark at wedding last week. Love this picture.

Mark took the boys for a ride and Mason wanted to pick Tiffany flowers...oh my heart!

Mason came for a sleepover last night and we made three individual pizzas. Soo good. Joe cooked them on the grill....

We went to Holley Falls at dusk last night.  Mason and I went in the water, and Joe was the photographer/driver.  In the spring this is very high so its fun to walk in it.

Mason was thrilled that he could get muddy and we didn't care.  LOL

Tiffany had a day off this week and took them to the beach at Lake Ontario.

Have a good week dear blog readers...
