Finishing up this rainbow sweater is top on my to do list. As you can see, there're irrefutable signs of cool weather. I started it right around July 4th, so a Labor Day almost-finish is a nice symmetry.
It's a special request from sweet Zoe, could I say no? She's so anxious to wear it that she reminds me to work on it every day. She tried it on as often as she could , while it was being knit, top down. It looks done to her, but I keep insisting " The ends! I need to weave in the ends !And buttons!"
So that's #1 on the knitting /crafting/non-work to do list.
# 2 is more fun than end weaving--I only start new projects when I finish one already in progress, lest I tip into crazyland. I'm leaning towards a nice slouchy Farmhouse Cardi for me. Zoe thinks it should be a hat for me, to match her sweater, with the leftovers.
#3 accept that the season is changing. This is a state of mind to-do item. We had the last full moon of summer neighborhood ladies skinny dip last night , the annual event that signals the end of summer to me. I'm working on it.
* I'm going to try joining in the 3 things on thursday. I've always enjoyed reading the Think Write Thursdays but the concept of a writing topic assignment was just too much for me . However--3 things? 3 things! I can do that. More info over on Carole Knits.
That sweater is PURTY! No wonder she's so eager, I would be too.
ReplyDeleteThat sweater is fantastic! And I'm with you on that end of summer mindset. I'm not there yet!
ReplyDeleteI am being forced (kicking and screaming) into the accepting-fall thing -- especially because the weather really took a turn this week. (But I will NOT wear shoes and socks yet. Nope.) I love the rainbow sweater for Zoe -- and I can totally understand her eagerness to wear it! Can't wait to see her rockin' it. XO
ReplyDeleteOh man, is that a great sweater! It's so cheery and happy. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm in the minority of most people I know - I'm excited that summer is near the end. Cooler weather makes me happy even if other things are not ...
I love the rainbow sweater! AND oooo! Farmhouse Cardigan is also lovely! But, this weather... oh boy, who knew that summer would end so abruptly. I will be hoping for an early and long Indian Summer!
ReplyDeleteOMG, Zoe is going to ROCK THAT SWEATER!! Hurry up, Gran! I dug jeans out from the pile o' pants this week but, like Kym, refuse to even look at shoes & socks yet! Well, socks maybe... but definitely not shoes. Have a great weekend Gale!
ReplyDeleteIs that the yarn we got at TNNA? So perfect! If I would hurry up and write the Nash Island pattern you could do that one! But the Farmhouse Cardigan is perfect. And I might have some yarn for it....
