Weekends



Do you see that!  Snow-in great multitudes, well three inches which is incredible because it was not predicted.  I was excited by the surprise and almost most of it is melted today.  Short and sweet.  This weekend has been chock full of goodness including:

-mac and cheese, homemade of course
-lunch out with immediate seating due to snow storm-Score!
-knitting continuously on the body of the sweater, if the stars align and I'm not sidetracked I should be done tonight and onto a sleeve
-laughter and talking
-hearing a woodpecker early this morning but not finding him in the trees
-a lovely orange sunrise
-another viewing of Monsters, Inc (son's favorite movie) tonight with hot tea

How was your weekend?

    Hasn't this been just the strangest winter? It didn't start to get wintry until it was almost spring, and now that spring is just a breath away it's wintrier than ever!

    I love Monsters, Inc. I don't think either of my children has seen it. I'll have to do something about that... xo

    I spent most of my weekend knitting horses. None of them are done yet (they're at the point where I can't work on them around the littles or they'll know what they are) so I'm feeling a bit like I'm just spinning my wheels, you know?

    I did go to a yarn yard sale, though. I'm going to post about it later today. (:

    The snow does look pretty but I have to say - I've seen enough this year until December. We are supposed to get a little tomorrow (but it looks mostly like rain). We love Monsters Inc too. Such a fun movie!

    A pretty picture! Even though I'm tired of pictures like that for this year! We're supposed to get 1-3'' tonight/tomorrow before it turns to rain. I'm very ready for spring! I hope your son is enjoying break!!

    Oh, so gorgeous! It's amazing to imagine waking up to snow, since we live, more or less, in the land of eternal summer! It's incredible how snow seems to introduce this deep quiet across the landscape. Makes me smile just to think about it!

    The snow looks beautiful. Our weather has been back and forth, I think we are stuck on cold and rainy now.

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).
