Finally Finished Friday - Musselburgh Edition

 The Musselburgh Hat by Ysolda Teague is now what was once my go to socks.  I just love knitting these hats for no particular reason, other than to use up PYS single skeins of finger weight yarn.  

Which means there are a couple on the needles now, after finishing this one.

The yarn is from Les Garcons and was one of a three month club I did from them back in Spring of 2023.  I decided to use some of the mini for the stripes.  Next time, I will start those stripes right after the increase is finished.  I am dubbing the above finished as Musselburgh #4.

#2 was once in my car, but I have brought it in to work on it while on the porch or just when I have a spare minute.

And Musselburgh #5 is now my new project in the front seat, for just in case knitting, and on the go.

I am having so much fun with these hats, that is after that pesky pin hole cast on at the beginning, which definitely tests my good nature. LOL!

The Wooly Wools

 The latest episode of PJKnits is up on You Tube and it is all about the wooly wools, and wooly knits I'd like to do next year.  You can watch it by clicking here

Do you want to knit a long with us next year?

Another Choice For Shawl Knitting in October

 And it starts today...

Darcy from Chit Chat Knits designed a Mystery Knit-A-Long that all of the proceeds of the pattern will go to Dolly Parton's Imagination Library that supplies a book a month to children from ages birth to five, at no charge.  My local library, Pekin Public Library just became an affiliate for the program, as well.

Besides knitting, I love to read, and am so pleased that my older two grandchildren love to read as well, so naturally, this Mystery Knit A Long was one I could totally get behind.

It only takes three skeins of fingering weight yarn, which I could pull from PYS to knit it!  There are six clues, coming out once a week.

And so, if you aren't knitting on that other Mystery Shawl that is going on, we would love to have you join us!

Another Windy Day

 Day 2 of Beautiful Fall Weather on the porch.  But, also, quite windy.  There is still a lot of green on the trees and of course, you all know, another hurricane coming to Florida that is going to be serious.  It is so sad, and we are thinking about our friends down there, and hoping it calms down before it gets to them.

For today, here in Central Illinois, we could not ask for a better day to spend some time on the porch with our knitting!

I've got so many knits in my brain that I want to do, just wish my hands would catch up.

Have a great end to the weekend!!
