Weekends



This weekend contained:

-SNOW!  I love it and I sat most of Saturday knitting and watching it fall :)
-a dinner out with my husband at a new local favorite restaurant, their french fries are fantastic.
-a movie night watching Frankenstein (1931) I was not scared one little bit and could not stop smiling because I kept thinking of Young Frankenstein.
-last night we watched a new show from NatGeo titled: The Incredible Dr. Pol. Now this show I watched through my fingers (I am very squeamish when it comes to blood) and it is not a show for little kiddies, however his love of animals and his vocation shines through.
-guess what-----I found the lost mitts!!  They were in the hall closet that I searched twice before in a place I already checked.....I am apparently blind these days.  
-lots of thinking of what I have to get knitted up for the holidays....they are looming closer each day and I need to get to it.  I think I need two more gifts made in November, then three in December.  I can do it, right???

    I AM SO JEALOUS!!!!!! I grew up in the Pittsburgh area--and we lived 5 years in Buffalo and I miss the snow more than anything else. (We RARELY get it here--more ice.)
    And you found your mitts just in time!!! Hooray!! I just knew they would turn up!!!!!!
    I'd say you definitely won the best weekend award.

    Brrr! Love snow but not yet. My parents got lots of snow and were out of power. She was mainly worried about her full freezers!

    I'm blind like that too. Glad you found your mitts.

    Murphy's Law: You find your lost mittens after knitting up a new pair! Glad you found them though...any chance you found the scarf, mittens and fingerless glove my 6yo has lost in the last while (all lost on separate occasions!).
    We woke up to snow this morning - thankfully it's nearly gone. There were some very nervous treat-or-treaters here!

    So happy the snow made you happy. I'll be ready for it in another month. Holiday knits are one my mind too. I have knitted several gifts and cannot decide who to give them to...Im really picky about who gets my knits...

    If you can conjure lost mittens, you can do ANYTHING! :-) Oh, I love snow, too. We rarely see it here, but in my mind the winter rains become snowflakes ;-) Happy Halloween!

    The mere idea of snow makes me terrified. I am so glad you like it!

    Karen, I just *knew* your mitts would turn up! ;-)

    I can't tell you how many times I have turned my house upside down looking for some lost item, and then found it in a place that I had *thoroughly* searched before. Sometimes I wonder if there is a mischievous ghost afoot :-)

    The snow was rather lovely, wasn't it?

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).
