My needles have been pretty busy of late......some gift knitting that I can't share and some necessary knitting as well.........well it's always necessary when it's knitting......right?

I thought I would share my view with you from where I knit and spin......it's been chilly this week and everyone is staying close to the stove!! Loki and Moose don't move far from that spot!


I picked up this skein of eco cloud in Canada and it knit up so quick into this Hot Chocolate sweater for Hannah Grace. I made the 3t size so it's a little big but I'm ok with that as she look will great in it next season! It's very cozy and warm and such a great color! I love the seed stitch ribbing!


Just off the wheel is this skein of merino and silk......it was amazing to spin!


And I've taken a liking to my new trindle and am truly enjoying the process of spinning this polwarth fiber from The Painted Tiger in the Ancient Tomes colorway.....spinning is just soothing to mind and body!!


I'm also going to include the photos from this past Saturday.....when spur of the moment I decided to join in the Hudson Valley Yarn Crawl!! It's was a lot of fun and we visited 5 quaint farms and drove through beautiful mountains. Hannah Grace loved seeing the all the animals and Momma loved getting her hands on some new fiber. So glad we decided to go!!

So as we approach Thanksgiving this week I am so thankful for all God has blessed us with and I am thankful for the Yarn Along where we can share our love of knitting and reading and all things fibery!!!
May God bless you and your family this Thanksgiving!!

Brrr......I believe I finished my sweater just in time for the cold weather and snow! A quick post today with some pictures of the process........I bought a pound. of this fiber at the Endless Mtns. Fiber Festival in the hopes of making it into a poncho. After spinning it I was not sure I would have enough yardage and then I fell in love with the Idlewood sweater. Perfect......this yarn was just asking to become this sweater and I ended up with just enough yardage!!

From this.....

Thanks to my son Christopher for the great photos! I am looking forward to getting lots of wear out of this! No new reading this week.......lots of Holiday knitting going on!! Joining Ginny in the Yarn Along!
