Weekends






The weekend was so nice, slow and quiet.  I witnessed a beautiful sunrise while picking up the newspaper yesterday morning.  There was:

-body shaping decreases beginning on my knitted cardigan
-a walk, finally, outside with my husband and dog
-grilled cheese and soup again for a meal-could be a weekly ritual
-a return to salads
-a little bit of Dr. Who
-and a little bit of Mystery Science Theater
-phone calls from the kids
-chicken wings (homemade by my husband of course)
-NOT football watching but looking every time my husband gasp and asking what happened...
-waking up this morning to MORE SNOW whee :)

How was your weekend??

    That sounds like a pretty good weekend. Especially the NOT football watching :) I'm lucky and no one on that house is much bothered about sport, mostly I can avoid it altogether!
    Grilled cheese (or as we say cheese on toast) and soup sounds good, some evenings a simple dinner is definitely the way to go.

    Sounds good. Especially the phone calls and more snow. I would love a bit too. Seems the cardigans coming along well, my Annabel is flying along too, but's it's such an easy pattern.
    Enjoy the rest of the week.

    Grilled cheese & soup is one of my comfort foods! If only I had cheese in the house...it's snowing and that would be a perfect lunch!

    I can't believe you have more snow!!! We are going to be in the 80's today and it is so humid right now I feel like I'm melting.

    Sounds like a good weekend. :-) We had a good weekend here as well. Saturday the temps were in the low 60's here and we all enjoyed that very much. Rain and cooler temps were back yesterday, but Saturday gave us a glimpse of things to come.

    Mystery Science Theater makes any weekend better! We got more snow this morning too. Sounds like it's going to be a snowy week for us down here. Wings are always made by my husband too!

    We drove to the snow yesterday, but only saw a bit on the side of the road...the rest was too high up for us to drive. Last night we had snow and rain mixed, but nothing stuck...we are longing for a white winter blanket. :)

    mr. picked up some dr. who at the library but i think skipped a season. the last one we'd seen was the first full episode with tenant and then the disc he brought home was tenant but no rose. i think the titanic episode even had kylie minogue in it ;-)

    Sounds like a good weekend to me! We had a nice one also; first an all day choir workshop, and then a little get away which did include watching the Seahawks. Guess that old groundhog was right, eh?

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).
