Weekends


My weekend was filled with:

-a heavy heart for the horrific events in Connecticut
-crossing off tasks for the preparation of Christmas
-shopping with my son and enjoying time together
-menu planning for two weeks
-new possibilities in the new year-thoughts that float about in my mind
-watching HP movies, #4 and #5 this afternoon
-knitting and knitting and knitting and not having any issues!!
-being ever so thankful for my family

How was your weekend?

    Yay for knitting without issues! I knit some this morning, if you can call it that, Sashay yarn ruffle scarves are fun, but they aren't knitting in my book...

    It has been a heavy weekend with the horrible shooting in Conn. This event I just can't stop thinking about....loosing children.ugh.
    trying very hard not to think about new projects and next year, something new for me because i am a planner.
    So glad you are knitting again, please do not over do it and take care.
    on my way to wind some more yarn.

    Very, very sad that something like that could happen in the state I call home. :-(

    I've been trying to keep busy so as not to cry like I really want to do.

    It's been quiet around here. Today I am going to turn the Christmas music station back on and head to my sewing room and try to find my joy in the season again. I'm not sure where I put it on Friday but it must be around here somewhere. I have a feeling I'm going to need it in spades to carry me through the trip home for Christmas…
    I'm glad to hear you had a nice weekend - and that you're knitting without a problem! Wonderful news! xo

    Sounds like a perfect one Karen. We've all been saddened by the news. It's makes us all appreciate family time together even more than usual.

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).
