Fall and Winter Knitting

We have (very slowly) been converting a spare bedroom into my sewing room, which unfortunately means that all my fabric and sewing stuff is spread between two rooms and very little sewing has been done in the last couple months. Hopefully, the room will be complete this weekend (yay!) and I can work on the several projects that have been pushed to the back burner lately.

What all this does mean is that I have had a lot of time to knit and cross stitch. But still not as much time as I would like. 


I've been slowly plugging away at my Once Upon a Time Sampler, however I am still several months behind.


I finished my Germinate Shawl and my Color Affection shawl, however CA still needs blocked. I also knit a sweater! It is done but still needs the ends wove in and blocked. I will try and get good pictures once that is done.

I am also working on a pair of socks that I am hoping to finish by the end of the month, as well as a beaded scarf. 

Now that the weather is starting to cool off I have a list of things I want to knit.

In no particular order 
1. Seed Stitch Wrap from the Purl Bee with Madelinetosh yarns 

2. Cape Cod sweater with The Plucky Knitter Trusty in I feel Pretty

3. Harvest Cardigan with Trusty in Sticky Toffee

4. Nutkin socks with MadTosh Sock in Holli Festival

5. Ashburn Shawl- colors yet to be determined.

I also have a few projects that need finished like my simple ribbed socks and Rayures Cowl. Not to mention I ordered two new cross stitch patterns from The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery too. 

There just aren't enough hours in the day!
