Knitting and Football

Today was a day for resting. Many, many football games and a bit of knitting.

My scarf is growing. I really like the cables. Different than the regular 'slip 2 on a cable needle, hold at back, knit 2 and then knit the 2 from the cable needle'. You have to pay attention on the cable row.
Beth finished her latest cowl.
I had it on when she wasn't looking. Misti Chunky is 100% Alpaca. Very soft and very warm!

She likes the pattern (Autumn Basket, purchased on Ravelry) so much that she has started another one. The colours for the new one aren't quite as bold.
I'm counting down the time until Homeland. This season has been great so far. Talk about sitting on the edge of your seat.

Happy Saturday

It was good to be back at work today. Staying home isn't my idea of fun.

Ann has been busy. There isn't enough knitting time in the day so sometimes it's better to pack up yarn and ship it to someone who knits very fast.
Pattern: Kate Atherley's sock pattern (free in the store when you purchase sock yarn)
Yarn: one ball of Opal Sweet and Spicy 2




Pattern: Wool Week Cowl (free on Rowan's website)
Yarn: each cowl takes 4 balls of Rowan Big Wool

There is a shawl as well but I'm not happy with the pictures. I'll take more on Monday.

Margaret shared her finished Exploration Station. Another great colour combination.
I am finished although it is not blocked. The pattern was well written but my brain malfunctioned on the brioche. It required some unknitting in order to get it done. 
Now to get caught up on all those things I did not get done while I was "rebrioching"!
I'm sorry to say that my Exploration Station is not finished. Getting the flu this week threw a monkey wrench in my plans. I hope to finish next week when I'm feeling like casting off 700 stitches.

The Tangle Scarf is growing. The pattern is easy to follow and you gotta love knitting on 10mm needles.

After work dad, Beth and I took a little drive. I haven't been to the house in a while.
My bedroom.
My bathroom.
The backyard.
The living room. It's getting real :)
