The Next Projects

And I had yet another non-yarn week. It was too hot. I was too busy (and tired). And I got sucked into the show Shining Girls on Apple TV Plus, which took the only mental energy I had. 

So, at the risk of not having anything to show you next week, I'm going to catch you up with some things I had done a couple weeks ago. 

Remember Random Beanie? I started another: 

Autumn hued stripes in a 2X2 knitted ribbing, the beginning of a beanie

I haven't gotten very far, but it'll go quickly when I have some time to devote to it. 

Then, I never mentioned my sister-in-law when I gave the rundown of what family had requested for Christmas. She requested a purple version of niece's eye sweater. I found the perfect variegated purple for it:

Luckily, I wrote down exactly what I did for niece's sweater. But SIL is a different size, and she wants hers longer as well. I'm putting off starting on this for a while, but at least I have the yarn. 

How's the weather where you're at? Is it knitting weather yet?

    Oh man, I just got home and it's going to be 101 today, too hot! I love the coloring on that beanie, beautiful.

    It’s starting to feel like fall here.

    I love the purple.

      If you could send some fall our way, we'd appreciate it.

    That purple yarn is so pretty. It's still hot here.

      I was thrilled when I saw it. I had wondered how I was going to do SIL's sweater.

    Oh, that beanie is incredible! I look forward to seeing a purple eye sweater. No knitting here, if I could, unless it was in front of the air conditioner. Still in the 90s. Signs of fall though.

    I live in a part of the world where the weather pattern is: Hot, Hotter, Hottest. So, woollens are never required. But I lived in North India for long where I used to watch womenfolk knitting so elegantly.

    Hi Liz - what a brilliant mix of colours to come across for your SIL - excellent. While I love the Random Beanie's colours ... we do what we can, when we can - cheers Hilary

    I like the Random Beanie colors. If winter didn't exist, fall would be my favorite season. I don't crochet in hot weather but I am getting those urgings again. A temperature afghan awaits.

    Purple's my favorite color, so I love the purple yarn you're using.
