Weekends


My weekend contained:

-a Christmas dinner party with husband's co-workers.  (read that as no cooking!!)
-frantically knitting like a demon and finishing a project.  But I will not tell you which one until the next time I blog....gotta edit some photos.
-starting another project that is super super secretive....ssh....
-receiving my *free* skein of yarn from eat.sleep.knit-I won on the yarn lotto card :)
-receiving a lovely gift from Emily (thanks!) in the mail, it really made my day.
-waking up on Saturday and having very little evidence of my cold.....I was thrilled that all of that tea drinking did me some good.
-playing with my ipod touch camera with some camera apps, hence the photo above!
-lots and lots of smiles reading comments with everyone asking about the glue on the gingerbread table from Friday's post.  Yes there were TWO activities (so so silly)  and no the glue wasn't intended to be eaten but I do believe Elmer's glue is non toxic....

    So glad the cold is over!!
    I love the effect you got with that app! It looks sort of dreamy--like visions of sugar plums should be dancing!!!

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).
