This time of year

 Hi Dear Blog Readers,

How was your Thanksgiving?  Ours was very eventful!  On Tuesday we celebrated dad's 90th birthday.

On Wednesday, our granddaughter was born!  Thursday was Thanksgiving and very nice.   Friday Tiffany and I went shopping.  Not much time to knit...hard to believe I've been off of work for a week and not much accomplished.

I tried...really hard to do the pattern in the mitten, but it did not look right. The yarn is too fuzzy. So it will be a plain mitten. The yarn is wonderful, so it is not settling for plain...it will be wonderfully plain!

Ruth made a bread warmer, and if you look at the detail, it's really wonderful.

Pattern is Bread Basket Liner, Juniper Moon Farm, Cotton/Linen yarn.

Martha is starting a sweater...pattern is called  Wandering by Isabel Kreamer.  It’s a Henley look.  She said the yarn is very soft.

Tiffany's boys were here on Thanksgiving...cute as ever!

Have a great week dear blog readers...stay safe!

Little Bits

 Hi Dear Blog readers,

I have done little bits of knitting this week. Started a pair of mittens with a bit of a complex pattern, and I will not let it defeat me. I am currently tinking back 3 rows.  LOL  It is from a Finnish designer and it is not hard...I just need to engage my brain.

 Silmut Mittens

 

Love the yarn from the Wool Room.

Ruth finished up her fun colored mittens, and is making a basket liner for her sister for Christmas. (Sorry, Martha, it's for her other sister!)

I love this pattern...

 Martha finished up her beautiful sweater.  In her own words:

Here are photos of my sweater.  I’m going to try to block it better especially the shoulder seams and the sort of scarf neck. I blocked the neck flat but I think Im going to like it bunched up a little smaller.  I think this sweater might be itchy so I don’t want it huge up on my neck maybe.  Im glad to be done.  The yarn is Bartlett 2 ply.  I got it at Rhinebeck 2022.  The pattern is Triticum Cardigan by Anne Hanson.  

Next I will knit my Anne Hanson yarn called, Cabècou.  I have to do a swatch for gauge.  Maybe tonight.  I bought this yarn be c it was on sale and I was feeling sorry for myself.  There are no sweaters in Ravalry for this yarn?  It’s quite soft so I want the gauge to be a little tight.  

 In other news:

A lot going on at our house before Thanksgiving. New carpet in the family room, dad's 90th bday, Thanksgiving dinner, and a new baby. Stay tuned next week for updates!

Have a great week dear blog readers.

Happy Thanksgiving.

I am thankful for everyone that takes the time to read this blog.

Here's the thing...

 Hi Dear Blog Readers....

Here's the thing..I don't have anything to share this week. I worked ALL WEEK on a project and ended up ripping.  I'll try again in a new yarn.  Sigh.  Im thinking of making Mason FELTED mittens for  Christmas.  Have any of you ever made them? I know they will be warm.  Will they bend on the hand like regular mittens if he wants to build a snowman?  I'm thinking of doing the cuff after they are felted. THOUGHTS???

Ruth is away this week and working on her 2nd sock:

Martha finished the knitting part of her beautiful sweater. Triticum cardigan by Anne Hanson.  Bartlett two ply yarn from Rhinebeck last year.  Blocking waiting to dry.

In other news:  I saw the little boys this week, but no pictures.  We are awaiting our granddaugher any day now.  Stay tuned!

Fallish

 Hi Dear Blog Readers....
Very fallish here.  Leaves all over...cooler temps...Sunny!  Just so beautiful.

Not much knitting to report.  I have finished the ear flap on Jayce's hat. Working on the tie..waiting to see how long the one I made for Mason's hat is. I put it on a cute project bag my sister in law gave me for the photo shoot.

Here is a picture of Jayce using the blanket I finished up this summer.  I think he likes it!

Ruth is working away on her beautiful Box Top Smock sweater...lovely!

Martha is working on the sleeves of her sweater, and the sock. All so lovely.

Mason and Joe worked hard to make a giant leaf pile to jump and play in.

Mason got to use the small blower:

Have a good week dear blog readers. I hope I have more knitting to show next week.
