I am mostly busy sewing, making some fall and winter clothes, but the
asthma has subsided enough that I now feel I can knit while watching the
tv news. Nothing complicated, mind you, just something to keep the
fingers busy. So, I pulled out an old pattern - from the 1960s I think,
I bought it at a yard sale - for knitted slippers in two colors. Found
some leftover yarn, made a swatch, and, if all goes well, some people
will be getting knitted slippers for Christmas.

I made a mitten on my knitting machine. I made the smallest size just to
try it out. It's so cute. Got to thinking I should make a couple in wool
and felt them. They'd be cute ornaments.

I'm working on a pair of socks with 100% undyed alpaca! (I hadn't
made traditional socks for a VERY long time, so I made a baby sock
first as a sample.) When I make socks, I do both at once, alternating
between them section at a time, so they are finished at the same
time. This pair is at the stage of knitting the foot length, en route
to the toe shaping. I may or may not make more socks, but I have
plenty of yarns for socks, and double sets of needles in most of the
wee little sizes. This small knitting binge is a break in piecing a
quilt (72 bits of fabric in each 12" block, and 81 blocks for the
quilt, all 100% hand work).

Ooh, that sounds lovely.

I'm currently knitting socks for myself, and trying to find a nice
scarf pattern for my father-in-law's girlfriend. You see, several years
ago I made everyone scarves for Christmas, but that was before my
mother-in-law died, so Eileen didn't get one. I know she'd appreciate
one - she crochets and sews, and can knit but doesn't much, so I really
want to find the right pattern. I have some cotton chenille that would
be perfect, I was thinking maybe a cable pattern. I need to get started
soon, though, or it will never be done in time.

Welcome to the group. Pull up a chair, pour yourself a cuppa (the pot
is on that table over there) and join in.

I just finished the Kimono Shawl designed by Cheryl Oberle. If you
are on Ravelry you can take a peek here. I'm now knitting the same
pattern as a scarf, but using 10 horizontal repeats to make it
narrower.

I've knit two slouchy berets from this pattern...one in steel blue and
one in royal purple. If you want lots of slouch knit 2 extra pattern
repeats.

and last week I finished an ear flap hat for my son, and I have some
socks, an Infinite Scarf, and some socks on the needles.

take care, Linda D. in B.C., Canada

That's beautiful, I like the beret too. The colours you;'re using
sound wonderful.
