Carry on as needed

 Hi Dear Blog Readers...

I always talk about the weather....this week we had SNOW, and thunderstorm with hail, rain and wind. Wonderful knitting weather. I did not get out to walk much, but yesterday I did walk for over an hour and it felt wonderful!  Joe has cleared the yard of leaves multiple times, and its covered again.  Most of the trees are bare now...thank goodness.  

This week I tried the sweater on a couple of times. Put is on a string and soaked it good. The fit is good. Now a little ribbing and bind off the bottom.  I added in side shaping....figuring out how to increase in pattern.  And the last 2 or 3 inches I went up a needle size. It's hard to tell with stitches on the needles.

I think I will start the sleeves, and then figure out if I want to pause and make the kids some slippers...I'll see. I don't want to completely stop so I forget the rhythm of the pattern.

While the sweater was drying, I was able to get the sock heel done. Now working on decreases.

Ruth made the difficult but  necessary decision to rip her Rolling Rock sweater and start over with a smaller size.  She is carrying on again.

 

Martha has been swatching all week.  She is carrying on with a nice pattern.

She settled on the Stick and Stone cardigan by Christie Archer Designs using Harrisville Watershed yarn Mallard color. It's going to be very pretty.

 I dont really have other news this week.  Life has been pretty dull here.  Trying to get the house spruced up for Thanksgiving is a  huge job.

Have a great week dear blog readers...

Knit on!
