My dear, sweet Friday – what took you so long to get here?! Was it just me, or did this seem like an exceptionally long week? But, Friday has made it and I could not be happier! Add to that, it was a very grey week here – so these orchid certainly brightened the week considerably!
There have been bits of knitting here and there – but peace knitting is what really kept my sanity this week! I am happily keeping up with each day’s pattern repeat – and I love that it is a simple to put down, simple to pick up knit!
I have also begun part two of the secret Christmas knitting and it is also at the point of simple to put down, simple to pick up. And, it seems to be cruising right along. I should have this gift done next week, which will give me more than enough time to get one more project in for 2016 completion!
Now, how about some links?
The New Knitty has some lovely things!
Romi has a new design that is stunning.
Are you a spinner? Jillian has A New Slant Scarf that might interest you!
Wassail Mittens anyone?
Simmer Dim appeared on my radar this week and I can’t stop thinking about it!
And, finally – Tiny Window Cats
That’s it for me this week! Have a fantastic weekend and I will see you back here on Monday!!
Your orchid blossoms do provide lovely color during a very grey week, and I bet they’ll last a long time. My Peace cowl has been set aside so I can knit some more dishcloths requested for Christmas. Not very glamorous, but at least they didn’t ask for a complicated lace shawl! I’ll hopefully be returning to my sanity-preserving Peace and Hitchhiker soon. Happy Weekend!
Beautiful flowers! Enjoy your Friday
So many patterns, so little time.
A beautiful orchid and gorgeous links – I especially like Xuan (gorgeous!!) and Simmer Dim…and, of course, Tony Window Cat – too cute. Happy Weekend!
It’s been so gray and co-o-ld here this week. Your orchid provides a lovely bit of color. Thank you. I am going to stop on the way home and buy a big Christmas bouquet to brighten my living room. TGIF!!!
I have some catching up to do with my peace knitting – today is the day!
Looking fwd to the secret Christmas reveal…after Christmas, right? Don’t want to let out any secrets. Enjoy your weekend!
Cheers~
Glad your knitting is clicking along; hope to make some good progress on mine this weekend. I’m sure these two days are gonna fly by, though. Why do weekends go so fast?! Wishing you a good one!
Cannot look at any new knitting ideas. Nope. Must. Look. Away. (I’m only inches away from finishing my sweater. Except for the pockts. I almost forgot about the pockets.)
most of my secret knitting is finished. and I’m on the tail end of gift knitting. I hope you have fun with your projects as Christmas looms around the corner!
