My internal voice has been rather whiney lately. To be honest, September has completely kicked my you know what. It’s always a busy month and this year seems busier than normal. The best way to stop the whiney voice is to make a list and start working.
- I finished another Ponchini that just needs to be washed, blocked and seamed.
- I made yet another cowl out of some Sublime merino, cashmere, silk and leftover Three Irish Girls. The cowl is destined for a silent auction for my Rotary Club.
- Speaking of cowls, I have some stashed away already for Christmas presents. It feels really good every time I tuck one away.
- I won a dyeing party at Three Irish Girls here in Superior! The party is for myself and three friends to dye either scarves or yarn. We’ve got a date scheduled and I’ll be sure to blog the experience.
- Stockinette in the round has been my friend. Normally I would say this is boring knitting, but right now it’s very comforting to just pick something up and not worry about finding my place in a pattern.
- My socks for Addie have stalled out now that we’re not going to soccer games twice a week. I got quite a bit of knitting done in the 2 months that the girls were in soccer! The Regia Ombre that I’m using was perfect for seeing progress from game to game.
- Lily is very interested in starting a mother-daughter knitting podcast with me. We’re working out the details and timing might be tough as she’s only 9 years old and is in bed when I do the majority of my knitting and blogging. But since she is a 35 year old in the very petite body of a 9 year old, I think we’ll do just fine. And I’m pretty sure her matter of fact style will crack you up. Some of the segments we’re thinking of include:
- What we’re knitting
- What we’re reading
- In our world (what’s happening at our house or in our lives)
- Our favorite things
- What would you like to hear us talk about?
