No! I didn't fall off the face of the earth!


Here's the back of my calbe knit sweater! I finished up to the shoulders and have the neck on a holder. I put it on......and I guess I'm ok with it. I'm not a big "sweater" person, so I'm not jumping up and down about it. The reason I made it was to learn cables and to read a pattern a little better. As long as I learn something, I'm pretty happy! Because the yarn is thick, this seems to be going pretty quick!



Here's sock #1 from the cuff down sock pattern. I love this yarn! It's called Sockotta and the pattern is so great! Whenever I'm making this in public, people stop and admire the yarn. I think I'm going to "gift" these to me! They are so fun!


Here's sock #2.....just waiting to be finished! He's sooooo jealous that sock #1 was done first! I keep telling him that I'm trying, but to no avail!

With the fall temps approaching.....it makes me want to stay in the house and knit more. But I was a very good girl today and finished staining and varnishing my front window, and I also did the same to the front door. With all the cold weather and salt the front door looked as if it was about to break into pieces! However, I saved it and hopefully we'll get a couple more years out of it!

So what are my knitting goals for November?
  1. Finish the cabled sweater!
  2. Finish my socks!
  3. Work on Joan's order for felted bags!
  4. Start the "blush" project from knit pixie and finish by Thanksgiving!
  5. Start and finish Amy's scarf for Christmas!

If I get all those things done.....then I'll be one happy knitter!
