Three on Thor’s Day

Posted on Posted in finished objects, hats, knitting, Works in Progress (WIPs)Tagged , 7 Comments

Chrisknits posted a Three on Thor’s Day and I decided to play along.

Did you know some of our days of the week are named after Germanic gods? You probably did. It goes like this:

Sunday – Sun day

Monday – Moon day

Tuesday – Tiwaz/Tyr’s Day

Wednesday – Woden/Odin’s Day

Thursday – Thunar/Thor’s Day

Friday – Frige/Frigga’s Day

Saturday – Saturn’s Day… (that’s a Roman god)

Here are my three Treads for Thor’s Day.

You can play along too. It can be Three for Thursday if you prefer. I missed Wednesday WIPs so this worked out for me.

By the way, three is the magic number.

Look at me prompt blogging!

This happy yarn monster is the start of my Hip to be Square throw in The Croft Shetland Tweed in Moss Bank. It is great TV knitting and feels so good to knit! We have a friend who will be selling her couch to us when we move. I think this throw will look lovely on it. I hope I have enough yarn to make it a decent size.

I’m at the crown decreases for Tread. The yarn is more navy than this, but I wanted you to see the pattern. This is a joy to knit and goes so quickly. It’s a one-skein wonder. I may knit another one or two.

My Christmas Cactus is on its second bloom, and I have these dried flowers. They are so pretty I hate to throw them away, but I’m not sure what I can do with them. Ideas?

I am also ready to finally cast on Peerie Flooers. I have the pattern and I have the yarn (Milarrochy Tweed.) It’s silly not to go ahead and cast on. I think it will be a gift. I have someone in mind. This is the pattern that I saw on the BBC show Shetland that restarted my love of knitting.

Tonight I hope to finish Tread. The last two days at work have been heavy-hitters, and at the end of the day all I can do is lay on the couch and drool. Today is a little lighter. Yay, hump day!

I’m secretly knitting a Tread hat for my son Henry for Christmas. He doesn’t read my blog. JoJo is modeling my progress, but does not want. This wool yarn is so soft. It is Woolfolk Far. If Henry can wear this hat then I’ve found the yarn for his sweater.

We are watching Love Actually and snacking on cheese and crackers while we wait for dinner. All I can think about is pumpkin pie!

You can see we already have our Christmas decorations up. I was in the mood early this year. I got a new stained glass star topper for our little live tree.

My boys are with their Dad today. We alternate holidays. Today I’m so thankful for Bob and his kids. We are having a fun day. I don’t think I am someone who could be alone on holidays. ❤️ Happy Thanksgiving!
