There Has Been Knitting

In between, taking advantage of our gorgeous weather from the porch, there has been knitting.

These socks for one.  Now, I don't knit socks now like I used to, but when this subscription box from Artistic Yarn by Abi came in the mail in September, I just had to cast them on and stay with the knitting of them.

After a few rounds, I knew what the socks were going to look like, and at that time, normally, I would have set them aside and came back to them when I felt like it. But, I didn't, because I wanted to wear them this Fall!

The color way is Reese's Pieces and of course, I had to go on the search for some Reese's pieces to do a little photo story with. I can't believe how hard it was to find them in the store.  But, I did.  And then, yes, you guessed it if you know how much I like my peanut butter... I ate them.  Win Win.

 I totally forgot to post this one weeks ago, so here it is,  Musselburgh #17 (#6 for the year).  Unknown yarn, this has been my front seat project since February. I am quite behind on my Musselburgh production this year, I need to get a move on it if I want to have 12 for the year!

Seachange by Jennifer Steingass - Longterm WIP - Finally Finished, I wore this on the last podcast, and it is now waiting for cooler temps.

I cast this sweater on back in July of 2025.

It went to Norway and back.

I knit on it for Fiber Fridays, in between playing around with other knitting projects, as I do.

I've also been doing a little slow reading, a few minutes here and there, and this book, although when I got it from the Library a couple of months ago, and then returned it because I ran out of time and I didn't think it was my genre.  I decided to give it a second try, bought it at our little local resale bookstore, and I love it.  It is a different genre, no mystery, no sex, no blood, just a really good read, thought provoking.  I can see why Book Clubs choose it.

I'm rating it a 5 out of 5, something I very rarely do, and as far as I remember the only one that I ever rated a 5 was The Women.  Of course, this is just my opinion.  

Catch you on the purl side.

Episode 170 Rhinebeck FOMO When You Can't Go

I won't lie, I have a little pre-Rhinebeck FOMO, hearing about everyone who is going, their travel plans and what they will be wearing even before they leave.  But, I, also know, that as much as I would love to go, logistically and with all the other stuff that goes into going halfway across the  U.S. that isn't going to happen anytime soon.

So, I am knitting on more sweaters to satisfy my FOMO, you can watch it all by clicking here
