    Sounds like a lovely weekend. My weekend so far is delicious, Connor napped for 3 hours yesterday afternoon. What did you think of Downton Abbey? I cried the 1st episode and was hooked. I LOVE your iPhone case!! Where did you get it? Online or retail?

    I have yet to watch Downton Abbey, but I plan on getting season one from the library next time we're off for a few days. :-)
    My weekend got started walking with friends, cooking with and for the family, getting caught up on laundry (never really happens ;-))talking to family and friends on the phone and just enjoying the down time. Soon I'll find my spot on the couch to watch the super bowl with hubby - which is when I get to do my knitting... :-)

    My sister loves watching Downton Abbey, but I have yet to see one episode; this might be a good thing since I know what happens this season, it seems everyone watches.

    I need to make my menu list still, do you have any great ideas? I am feeling totally uninspired right now.

    Haha, I watch sports indirectly too. I think it's great for knitting, because you don't really have to pay attention. :)

    Ahhh...good listening and viewing makes for quick knitting. I listened to an audiobook while driving and sped through mittens for me and my oldest. Dave is off grocery shopping from our list.

    I just re signed for Netflix so I can stream on my ipad. The first thing in my queue is Downtown Abbey! I would tootally knit my way through the superbowl if I wasn't working.

    I am "watching" the superbowl too... I was excited, but for now, the tv is just noise. I'm not feeling it at the moment. I haven't watched the Downton premier yet... I need to. Maybe tomorrow will be the day!

    Sounds like a nice weekend...I skipped the super bowl but NEVER miss Downton Abbey. I think I've got my priorities straight...;-)
    Have a good week!

    That sounds wonderful. I indirectly watched the superbowl as well. I just knitted away and looked up for a few of the commercials-- while over seeing Reading and Math homework!

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).
