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

Hopefulness

Image
  Good morning! This week has been busy with classes and routine doctor appointments. The arthritis doctor has a few tricks up her sleeve for some of my dry mouth issues (from my autoimmune disease - Sjorgren's Syndrome) that make me feel hopeful. What was the most important thing during that doctor visit is that I felt seen and heard. I am thankful for her and her team. Speaking of hopefulness, look at my daffodils sprouting up! Some of the daffodils are just starting and some already have a head start. I love winter, but I'm looking forward to spring. The crocuses seem to be taking their time this year, as well as the snowdrops (unless those pesky deer have eaten them, grr). Even though I am still knitting my baby blanket, I have gathered four skeins of potential socks to be and am dreaming of a wonderful sock frenzy cast on.

New Year

  Good morning! How are you? Happy New Year, may this year be full of blessings to all of you. Well now, I finally have an empty home after having our son, daughter in law, grandson and granddaughter here for six nights.  I am still experiencing fatigue and symptoms from the virus even though I am feeling better. It was a challenge hosting family while recovering. Also we babysat the kids overnight (!!) while my son and daughter in law went for little getaway. I am thankful and grateful my Aunt came over both days to help out with the granddaughter who never sleeps during the day. (snack-naps do not count!). They all left early in the morning, and while I was tired, sleep deprived and fatigued, I put away Christmas plus all the toys and doodads you need for babies. Today I am looking at a squeaky clean house. I am planning on reading books and falling asleep while doing so! My exercise routine is on hold as I slowly get better. Maybe next week I can muster up some energy for some yoga
