Weekends



This weekend contained:

-getting ready for Thanksgiving and finishing up the holiday shopping for my extended family.
-knitting on a leg warmer and wishing it was the second one and I was done...
-switching from the itty bitty circular wooden needles to my tried and true DPNs....
-feeling like I betrayed my loyal metal double pointed needles...I will never ever give you up again.
-laundry (even though I have way less, I still have it!)
-knitting with friends at a local coffee shop and laughing more than knitting.
-forgetting to walk before dinner...we finally got it right on Sunday!
-having a very long streak of "good hair days", I'm thinking it is because it is fall and my hair is happy.

    This year we are going to my son's for Thanksgiving so it feels strange not getting ready myself.
    I can't wait for the weather to get a little bit cooler here so I can have some of those good hair days!

    Sorry to hear the itty-bitty circs didn't do it for you… but I'm glad to hear you're having good hair days. It's been a long time since I've had one of those! xo

    Haha, happy hair days are nice.
    I've been busy finishing some UFOs...I'm feeling your second leg warmer pain - I've got second mitten syndrome. :(

    wow.. just reading this saying: me. me. me. me. I'm pretty much line for line on this. Not knitting leg warmers at the moment but that is a very "me" thought. Not sure I'm having good hair days though, I need a more expensive conditioner. ; )

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).
