Weekends



This weekend contained:

-long spans of time with my dog, Frodo, walking about taking photos of the fall season
-long spans of time rearranging my yarn collection
-a realization that I own a lot of yarn (I am not complaining)
-a realization I have so many projects I want to knit but only have two hands
-eating leftovers from the frig which freed up time to do the above items
-a wish that my allergies would go away (which will happen when there is a frost)
-watching The Holiday and kind of liking it....sort of....

    great weekend. minus the allergies (so sorry! it sucks, I know, Brad gets them too.)
    and I felt the same way about the Holiday. Kind of good. But worth it to watch the male lead. Jude Law was it?

    I've been sniffing away, too--just hoping it's still allergies and not a seasonal cold!

    Walking through the leaves, hands in the yarn--can't get any better than that!! You've got a really gorgeous fall up there! (Lucky, you!!!)

    How funny, I did some yarn reorganisation this weekend too. I also came to the conclusion that I have quite a lot of yarn and only 2 hands with which to knit ;)

My weekend happily contained: -wearing the above woolens all at the same time without being hot -so many walks and taking in the changing leaves. -a leaf shower on Saturday-the wind swirled the leaves off the trees up in the air to float down -changing screen savers to autumn themes! -a craft fair where my husband and I say "we could make that", but we don't. -french fries at the craft fair -scrambled eggs and toast for dinner because we were lazy. -football season has descended in my house. he was in the front room watching whatever is on today -I sat in the family room and watched A Tree Grows in Brooklyn .   Now I want to read it again. -Oh! I finished the socks!! So I wound up about six skeins of yarn and have three projects ready -started a cowl for me in fall colors (I hope to finish before fall ends) -enjoying Spirits of Joy .  Hannah graciously had a one day free sign up for her birthday at the end of September which I luckily saw on Twitter.  Than...

Knitting News

  Good morning to you! How are you? I'm excited about my hat that I've been knitting enjoying the sea of stockinette stitches. When I first started the hat I thought it would be too small, now I wonder if it will be too big. Gah. I will find out soon I guess. I wish the photo about showed how beautiful the colors are in real life, you'll have to trust me on this! Below is my next knitting project, the habitation throw . I will definitely use the pink and gray, I'm still not sure about that purple, I might have a look-see in my stash and do another ponder about that color. I chose this pattern because I can use up some of my stash and I adore Helen Stewart's patterns. What are you working on this week? Also: I will probably not be posting this Friday and the following Monday because of my family visiting. I hope to be back next Wednesday (unless I change my mind).
