Through the summer there has consistently been something cast on to my knitting needles ~ usually this {corrected link 4/09} petal dishcloth pattern {which has become a favorite} by Hazel Schrock, using some cream-colored, soft, Lion cotton yarn...
My favorite time to fit in a few rows of knitting ~ morning tea time, with a pot of PG Tips and something delicious to nibble {like Rhonda's cranberry & walnut biscuits}.I'm also trying very hard to finish this teapot cozy started long ago...
And with the arrival of Fall, I couldn't resist casting on two of these great-looking Bainbridge neck warmers that Elizabeth mentioned ...
And of course, there is also a another denim-colored wool mug cozy in progress...
I promise that the last mug cozy giveaway will be announced before the end of this week...see you then!

Hi, Deb! I've been reading your blog for a while and finally decided to come out of lurkdom. I love your blog because it's so homey & welcoming. The yarns you're using for your knitting projects are so pretty.

Of all the handwork I do, knitting is by far my favorite thing. Something about it just soothes me (except when I drop a stitch or find a mistake 3/4 of the way down the project!).
ReplyDeleteRight now I'm working on socks. Great fun! I love the way the stripes just happen all by themselves.
All such sweet projects...I am going to make some of the dishcloths (switch to knitting from the crochet for a change).
ReplyDeleteI love making that petal dishcloth, and now that fall has arrived I have been getting some knitting done :)
ReplyDeleteLovely knitting, the petal dishcloths look great.
ReplyDeleteI finally met someone who has more projects in the offing that I do. I love that petal dishcloth. Looks like the perfect fall project. Thanks!!!

I want to be IN that first photo.
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely knitting season, isn't it?
Deb,
ReplyDeleteI love all the projects you have going right now. I just finished a hat for my son. I don't have alot of experience with knitting and was very happy with how it turned out.
How is your dad doing?

I totally NEED to learn to knit. I used to know how a LONG time ago..but I need a refresher! I love what your working on and I love your mug cozies!!! :)
ReplyDeleteDear Deb,
ReplyDeleteI love all your pretty knitting projects you have going! I hope your dad is doing well.
Have a lovely Autumn day and enjoy your knitting.

Deb,
ReplyDeleteI'd love to learn to knit. Do you have any tips or book recommendations for beginners? Also, how is your dad doing?
I thorougly enjoyed my visit to your blog. Lovely pictures
ReplyDeleteIt looks like fall/winter projects are underway. I love seeing your knitting projects.

Loving all the projects you are working on! Sounds much like me.. I have knitting and sewing projects always going.
ReplyDeleteI really like your tea cosy in progress, and would like to make one. I have looked all over your archives and cannot find the pattern. Even googled 'corrugated tea cosy' and nothing like yours came up.
ReplyDeleteDo you have the pattern available, or a link to it, or even the name of the book from whence it came?
I would appreciate your help.
^__^
All your works in progress are beautiful! I do like that petal dishcloth. Must try and make one!
ReplyDeleteThank you for such great comments!
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for asking about my Dad and for your continued prayers--he is feeling better, and has started radiation treatments this week.
Angela~I would suggest checking your library for a knitting handbook or there are articles and tutorial here: [http://knitting.about.com/od/learntoknit/a/begin_knit.htm] that are also helpful.

I hadn't seen the Bainbridge scarf pattern, and now I can't wait to knit one. Thanks for linking to the pattern! :-)
ReplyDeleteI enjoy visiting your blog and seeing all the beautiful things you knit. I've tried knitting in the past but I just don't have the patience. I'm a sewer.

Uh Oh! An obsessed knitter with more than 2 projects going!!! You need to check out Ravelry.com you'll love it!!
ReplyDeleteYour knitting basket looks alot like mine:-) And I do love my dishcloth you made me! I remember that tea cozy when you started, can't wait to see it finished, I love the colors!
ReplyDeleteI did a petal dishcloth, and ended up with a very pretty hole in the middle. I used 7's not 8's, and did 13 petals, not 12 (I could tell 12 would have ended up mounded). Any idea's how to get it together without the hole? I do like it, and am using it but any thoughts would be great!
