Wow, hard to believe that summer is almost over. In a few weeks I'll be back to this insanely busy schedule. I must admit, I've been enjoying this down time, getting lots of knitting and reading done.
I FINALLY sewed the buttons on Pumpkin's cardigan. OMG, was she not coming up I think the buttons would still be waiting patiently to be sewn!
Then, all of a sudden, I was in a "let's get this done" mode. I had a of pairs of socks on the needles and it was high time to finish them. I started that project last year, late September, and had very little left to knit. The pattern is called Gretel by Winwick Mum. It's a free pattern! Click here. I used the recommended yarn, West Yorkshire Spinner's Signature yarn. It was a kit from Wool & Company, which is still available here.
August 2022, I visited this wonderful yarn store in Belfast Prince Edward Island called Fleece & Harmony. Every year, they offer a stitch marker advent calendar from Firefly Fibers. This year's theme is Celestial ... I couldn't pass it up.
BTQ, they are sold out of the advent calendar, however if you are interested, you can purchase it from Firefly Fiber here.
Well, that's it for now. I do hope you are safe and enjoying the season. Cheers!

Nice hand knits! I’ll be happy to see the back of this summer and I hope for a true autumn season before snow falls. I see your lovely knitting projects turn out beautifully and wish I could still knit. I’m glad your daughter is pleased with her sweater, it’s a treasure. I did a good amount of sewing this summer so not all was lost with the heat, drought and smoke that consumed our summer months. Enjoy the remains of your time off from your busy season, I hope the rest did you good.
Time is flying by fast...... Love the socks.......
