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.  Thank you :)

How was your weekend?

    Look at all your pretty woolens! I am so envious, but in a good way! ;)
    Ha, Mike and I do the same thing at craft shows! Poor Mike, then I put him to work when we get home.
    I have two weeks from yesterday until my son is getting married and since I have been eating whatever I want these last few months I am on a strict diet of fruits and vegetables, although I really think I have waited too long to make any difference. Enjoy the fries!
    Thanks for the comforting words! Knitting really does help. I am working away on my third Annabel, but this one is larger and taking more time than I thought.

    and guess what....we were at the beach today and in the ocean. no woolens....yet.
    Is"A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" a wonderful story? Please tell me, because I have the book sitting on my shelf. I know it's a classic.

    It went from 80 on WE to 35 on TH. SA was in the low 30 and I was excited to wear my sweaters. Not one I've made. That hopefully will come this winter!

    Look at those gorgeous woollens! I dug out some of our things last week but I still have to find out where the rest of it is packed. That should go on my to-do list this week… xo

    I wore gloves at Anya's soccer game on Saturday morning- briefly........
    We are having an amazing late summer here.

  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).
