Weekends



This weekend contained:

-lots of time in the car to visit family
-lots of time knitting in the car
-a discovery that I am missing my fetching mitts
-frantically knitting another pair to replace my missing mitts
-fun with family and enjoying the brisk autumn air
-knitting a sleeve and working on the second sleeve of my featherweight cardigan
-appreciating the changing fall colors and feeling relaxed and serene

    I did my first bit of car knitting this weekend. It was just during errands around town, but still it was wonderful :-). I'm with you...this new season always makes me feel so calm. I love autumn. :-)

    Beautiful picture! I do love colorful leaves on the trees themselves, but since living in the city I've come to love them on the sidewalk just as much, I think ...

    i love all your car knitting. and the family time. wonderful. i'm smiling over your missing 'fetching'. would you believe each time i've knitted a pair, which i think is 5 or 6, i've given them away. and i don't own a pair either. same thing with toastys. i'm casting on soon too and this time they are mine. :)

    I can not wait to see your finished cardigan! Ok, I have to ask just because I really don't know, what are fetching mitts?
    Oh, and I love the photo!

    I love seeing leaves on the sidewalks (especially after a little rain when they're plastered to the cement). Sounds like quite an enjoyable weekend.

    I love how quickly fetching mitts make up! That was the pattern I made my daughter last year--then made myself a pair (and the dye lots were off, so the finger cuff of one is slightly darker than the rest of the mitt). So I made myself another pair--which is somewhere in la-la land misplaced, and I'm back to the dyelot off mitts. Why can't we ever lose the mistakes instead of the good things?

    Car knitting is great - unlike reading while riding! You must be a speed-knitter!

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...

  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).
