Hello Friends,
I hope you are doing well. Today I have been baking some pumpkin pie to have for dessert tonight. I have also been busy working on assignments for my office administration courses that are due this week.
I am still working on finishing my 3timesChic sweater and have finished sewing up the seams on the sweater now. I have picked up the stitches along the back and front of the neck edges. I am going to knit two rows then bind of and I will be done. I will be posting a finished sweater on Thursday's post this week! I can't wait to be done!
I did not really know what to do when buying a hank of yarn, how to undo it and properly roll it into a ball. Now the yarn is all jumbled up. I did watch a YouTube video on how to untie the ties around the yarn, then to find the end and beginning strands and start winding around into a ball, but all the yarn seemed to tangle up while I was doing that. So I will be spending a lot of time untangling the yarn and rolling it into a ball. It will be a while before I can start on the socks. Wish me luck!
I made some pumpkin pie for Halloween using E.D. Smith Pumpkin pie filling from the can and used Ready Krust Graham for the crust. It felt like it took forever and I was worried about the crust burning more so the pumpkin filling would cook. We will be eating this tonight after dinner as a Halloween treat.

I started reading Not Working
by Lisa Owens yesterday. I have wanted to read this for over a year now when my mom told me about it. So far I like the protagonist, she is very relate-able and her struggles with job searching and other things remind me of my own situations I have gone through in the job search. I will be experiencing this myself this month when I begin applying to jobs. I was reading Mercy For Animals by Nathan Runkle, and My Not So Perfect Life: A Novel
by Sophie Kinsella but my loan expired so I have requested it again.
Joining along with Frontier Dreams for Crafting On, AsKatKnits for Unwraveled Wednesday.

I bet you'll be so pleased when your sweater is done, the finishing off is always the worst I always think, My wool always tangles too, I have put it over the back of a dining chair in the past and that did help. Enjoy your pie!. :) x
ReplyDeleteYeah it seemed to feel like forever once I was done the knitting part of it. The sewing of seams was not my favorite part! haha glad to hear others have problems with the tangles too. I hope it gets better over time because it is so time consuming untangling it all before I can knit!
DeleteBeautiful knitting! And, nice book suggestions - I have read none of them and have added them to my very long "to read" list! (Also, I hate when skeins of yarn do not cooperate! Good luck untangling!)
ReplyDeleteThank you Kat! glad you liked the suggestions. I really am enjoying these books they are wonderful. Thanks, I feel like I will be untangling for days :O
Deleteah, the hank of yarn and making it into a ball - I know you will figure it out. Your sweater is looking fantastic! you'll be modeling it in no time at all :)
ReplyDeletehaha yeah it has been a mission untangling this yarn. But it is kind of relaxing untangling it while I watch tv or YouTube channels. I do however want to get started on the knitting part so that keeps me going on untangling. Thank you glad you like it!
DeleteGood luck with detangling the yarn. Your sweater is coming along nicely...looks like it will be warm and comfy. Look forward to seeing the finished piece.
ReplyDeleteCheers~
Thank you Honoré! it is untangling slowly but surely. Thank you, it is so warm and cozy I am happy to be done and now I can wear it! :) thank you for visiting!
