Weekends


As you can guess, I'm going to tell you again about how busy I am.  I thought I'd be used to this but I guess I'm getting older and my energy levels aren't what they used to be.  No matter how busy I am, I am having fun.  Fall is once again back in business.  The maple trees are doing their thing - one of my favorite trees (the other is the mighty oak).

Saturday we drove to Lewisburg PA to toodle about-shopping and walking around the town.  We had a great time!  I bought a few more drawing pencils that I will use once our daughter and son in law leave for their new home tentatively planned next weekend.  Lucky for us, there was a fall arts festival in the park that we wandered about.

the cowl I knit for him!

Yesterday, was relaxing (as in I knit A LOT) and we had dinner with friends.  All in all, a wonderful weekend with perfect fall like weather.

How was your weekend?

    I love that you're with family and enjoying fall weather. Your son-in-law gets extra knit-worthy points for wearing and showing off his cowl!

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).
