This is what I worked on last weekend. The back of a pullover crew neck sweater for Dennis.
It's past my bedtime so I'm going to close now but didn't want to leave for the weekend without sharing with all of you first and saying hello. I truly feel you have become my friends.
The front has been started too. It does get boring though. What seems like miles and miles of plain knitting.
So...I took a break and made three dishcloths. There is a another round one that I finished that I didn't photograph.
And this one was just begun. I will start back on the sweater tomorrow. I promise. If it stays so cool he'll need it soon.
My sister sent me this picture yesterday. It was all of the Brownies, Girl Scouts, Senior Scouts and Cadette Scouts in the small town I grew up in. Do you see me? I'm the little blonde brownie in the third row from the front, on the right end. I'm peeking over the shoulder of a girl with a sash and beret. Isn't it fun? I had forgotten all about this day until I saw the picture. My sister is on the left toward the back.
Today was crazy hair day and crazy clothes at preschool for Miss Piper. She had to face-time me and show me her craziness! Goodness I love this little girl.
Someone asked where the lake is that we have our trailer at. It's 26 miles from our house, in the mountains of northeast Washington, north of Spokane. The lake itself is Loon Lake and our trailer is at Granite Point Resort.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend full of the joys of late summer.

Man sweater knitting is serious business! That's a lot done in a short period of time. I am very impressed! Your little cutie is adorable in her crazy hair and clothes. How well I remember those days.
ReplyDeleteThat round dishcloth is addicting. I just finished another one myself. They go quick.
Hi, I looked you up on my new Road Atlas... Found Spokane... Didn't realize you were in the east side of Washington... I guess I had assumed since you had the lake house --that it was closer to all of the water on the west side of the state....
ReplyDeleteLove the Brownie picture.. Of course, I picked you out!!!!!!! ha ha
I too love colors --so I can understand why you enjoy working on pieces with different colors...Beautiful.
Have a great weekend. Hope you are feeling good these days.
Hugs,
Betsy
Great knitting projects - I switch projects and needles sizes to keep my hands from cramping.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever tried knitting your husband's sweater in the round until you get to the bottom of the armhole shaping? Can you tell I detest seaming?
Hope your time at the lake is relaxing and warm.
Love your dishcloths. I'm dreaming of flannel sheets and blankets...meanwhile we seem to be in another mini heat wave on the Eastern part of the country. another cute picture of Piper!
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend at the lake. I woke up later than expected today. Oh my but nothing else going but getting groceries. Eventually we'll get all pictures back up that we took down for reroofing project we jad contracted out this week. Done! Lots of pounding.scraping. nailing. Noise!!!
ReplyDeleteOur nights are getting cooler too. Feels good. Now I must eat breakfast! I like the variegated discloth. I've got a pattern to make something like it. Hugs!!
Have a great time at the lake. We are headed camping ourselves. I am so ready...just wish the weather was a lot cooler!
ReplyDeleteGood job on that sweater, what a big accomplishment! Would he like one with a design on it? That might be more fun for you to knit.. like a fair isle design for winter? I'm knitting a dishcloth too.. with the soft unbleached cotton from KnitPicks. I'm off to swim.. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteNice work on the sweater and dish cloths. It's so easy to get distracted on sweaters with all those rows of stockinette! Have a great weekend at the lake. Do you see many loons?
ReplyDeleteGreat post today Betsy. I LOVED the Girl Scout picture (former Brownie here)! And your round dishcloth is very, very cool! I love flannel sheets and I love autumn. Have a great time at your pretty lake.

Have a wonderful time at the lake Betsy!! I hope the weather is great. You are a good knitter! I have a hard time when i make a mistake and have to rip it out and pick up the stitches. Is there a secret! Think maybe I should learn to crochet! I have done a few basic stitches but would need a review and how to read a pattern. Do you crochet too? Nancy

ReplyDeleteIt is always fun to see what you have been making, Betsy, and I love seeing that Miss Piper is delightfully crazy for her crazy day at pre-school :) xxxxxx
ReplyDeleteYou must knit really fast. Do you knit English(throwing) or Continental? Miss Piper did not look crazy to me...I though she looked cute in her outfit. Love your washcloths and I can see that Piper resembles you...what a cutie you were when you were a girl scout!
