I Think I Got The Knitting Bug

Happy Sunday everyone! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Around here we have been enjoying the last warm days of the season before the cold weather arrives. But despite the warm weather there is something in the air that feels like fall; the deep colors of the foliage, pumpkins everywhere you look and wanting to knit petty things with cozy warm yarn. I had so much fun knitting the cowl I finished last week (you can see it here), that I decided to start a new knitting project. On Saturday I began knitting a hat for my husband. This a very simple pattern, but it is certainly and exciting one since this is my first time knitting on the round.  I thought it was going to be more difficult, but it is progressing rather quickly. I think I'm going to finish it sooner than I thought.

Have a lovely week!

  2. I love your cowl ! It's been all the patterns for the gorgeous cowls and shawls available on the web that has started me thinking about picking up my knitting needles again!

  3. Oh, I don´t know how to correctly use the circle knitting needles. I have to more practise! In case I need to knit the socks or the hat, I prefer to use 5 knitting needles :)
    Have a nice time!

  11. Your knitting is lovely. I made a cowl a couple years ago. Hopefully it will get cold enough to use this year. I'm currently working on scarves for a couple friends. Have a nice weekend Martha!
