Reflections



This week has been quiet and serene.  We are heading towards another weekend where there is nothing planned and I think we both are quite happy to have nothing to do.  As you know, something will happen but it will be spontaneous and carefree.  I checked the weather and it seems we will be blessed with a huge storm filled with rain and little sunshine.  Sigh. If only it could contain one little tiny snowflake.  I know that rainy days are very good for knitting and planning on knitting and you will find me doing both.

Yesterday I had 4 inches of hair cut off and it feels so swingy and healthy!  I was due a hair cut, you see I cut my bangs every month or so putting off the professional appointment then one day my hair will scream "enough".  So today I am a new person and my hair looks great as long as I don't go outside in the humidity.

I've pulled out odds and ends of worsted weight yarn that were left overs from previous projects.  My goal is to create either a hat or mitts and lighten up my knitting basket in the process.  So....I can add more yarn!  Just kidding.

Have a lovely weekend!

    Sounds like we are going to have the same weekend and both of us sitting here wishing for snow.
    Doesn't having your hair cut make you feel like a whole new woman? I bet you look just beautiful.
    Enjoy the day.

    Worsted scraps! Want to hear something crazy? My husband wants me to knit him some wool pants. Yep. Longies for the six foot tall guy. I'm going to gather my scraps and work on them off and on for years, probably. (:

    It's amazing what a lift having your hair cut is. It's a real treat...especially if you get a complimentary head massage...

    Hope the weekend is a nice balanced one for you both with some fun and some relaxation too.

    Enjoy your weekend!
    Sorry about the lack of snow... in our area they are calling for snow on Halloween, which is crazy and just wrong!

    It's so nice to have hair that feels that way... I'm WAY overdue for a hairdressing appointment. Trying to make do by ignoring the split ends in my hair... :)

    I'm overdue as well. Don't you love that springy light feeling when you get a cut. I'm beginning to accept frizzy messy hair as a way of life (lol)

    Don't you just love that feeling after a good cut...the lightness of it?

Weekends

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).
