Episode 171 There Are Only Two Months Left!

 I can't believe there is only a couple of months left in 2026 and I've got lots to accomplish, in the knitting that is.  How about you?  Let's talk about it on Episode 171 of the PJKnits Podcast on You Tube.

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.
