Today I’m joining Kat & the Unravelers for Unraveled Wednesday!
It’s not for lack of trying — I’ve attempted a new project (twice) (the mittens from Ainur Berkimbayeva’s Carousel Collection for Purl Soho) but had difficulty understanding the pattern and/or counting and neither attempt makes any sense (in terms of fitting the intended hand) — so it’s on to something else.
KNITTING (SEAMING):
I’ve begun to seam the Family Temperature Blanket panels. This is going to be my “doing laundry” project at Annie’s because I can spread it out on the dining table (I only have to move two things in order to do so) and stitch away.
It’s looking a little wonky in that photo and I think I undid all that & started over… if not, I will be! It feels great to be underway with the second-to-last part of that project (the last being a border)!
I’m using black yarn and it’s almost invisible… there seems to be enough variation & tweedy-ness in the Felted Tweed to get away with it. Fingers crossed.
I still need a project for TV time, and I’ve used up all my dishcloth cotton… contemplating casting on a simple shawl. Maybe another Close To You. Soon enough, it’ll be time to cast on the December mystery gnome.
READING
I’m closing in on The Houses In Between… and keep eyeing up all the piles of books around me. I recently saw a cartoon referring to those as “emotional support” book piles. haha. So true!
In other news…
We have our first Winter Weather Advisory of the season, which should make tomorrow’s commute interesting. It was in the mid 50s yesterday… and I think that’s probably the last we’ll see of the 50s until spring.
I hope your knitting comprehension is better than mine at the moment, and that you’re reading something wonderful!

YAY for seaming. This blanket is going to be epic Vicki!!! My making has been slow…as has been my reading. Just fighting that “bug” and being tired all the time. This will pass! We have rain in our overnight forecast and I think the Poconos may get snow…I doubt we will though. Hope your commute is easy!
Hmm … those mittens look like they might have an unnecessarily complicated construction, and it might not be you. But hooray for a clear dining room table and a place to seam that terrific blanket. Like Vera said, we’re supposed to get rain tonight and I am thrilled! I hope the morning commute goes okay and the snow melts quickly.
Seaming!!! Wooooooohooooooo! I think the dark yarn will work perfectly. My daughter texted me that they have SNOW in the forecast as well! (There is some major kid excitement about that! The adult is not as thrilled, lol)
catching up … glad you’ve had some good stuff happening … love seeing Kate published (and some amazing fiber art), Malina’s creativity, and seaming!!! I’ve actually been able to knit colorwork while watching the Baking Show (well, mostly listening, with occasional glancing up) and I am so glad my knitting mojo might be back. The reading mojo, though … not so much.
I’m so excited that you’ve started seaming! Hope that weather wasn’t too awful.
