Weekends



My weekend:

-found me rearranging, frantically, my son's travel day to avoid the snow storm
-sitting inside watching the snow fall all day Saturday
-starting the baking, it's official Christmas can arrive now
-wrapping presents while listening to holiday music
-welcoming home one child and preparing another trip for the other one
-knitting on small projects while thinking of possible large projects-soon!

How was your weekend?

    lucky you, it looks like you'll have a white Christmas. We keep getting snow forecast but it still hasn't arrived. It's very mild and breezy. I baked our Christmas cake a couple of weeks ago, which wasn't a good idea for us. We've eaten it already, so I'm going to have to make another one. It sounds like you had a great weekend, anticipating everyone coming soon.
    Ours was busy too but time for some fun.

    YIKES! We practically had the same weekend! (the baking, wrapping and listening, and knitting smalls--dreaming big part, anyway!)

    The snow put a wrinkle in my weekend too. I was hoping to bake but my daughter and her friends did some for me (which I am thankful for). I probably won't even get to that until this coming weekend.

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!

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).
