Weekends




My weekend was quiet, nice and uneventful, just the way I like them.
My weekend contained:

reading books
knitting time with the purple cowl
finishing the wurm hat
shopping for watercolor paper and finding it
bookstore browsing
rotisserie chicken
pasta salad
ginger cookies
our son visiting
a bit of sketching and painting
day dreaming
knitting with friends

How was your weekend?

    You had a great one. Gingerbread cookies ! Now I want some. Yesterday I was a knitting couch potato. It felt good. I may do some of the same today...

    I bundled up and took a few walks, did some sewing and playing catch up around the house. It was nice not to be snow bound.

    Sounds like a very relaxing weekend, as was mine. I was a complete slug all weekend. Sat, knit, read, and watched it rain.

    Sounds like my kind of weekend! Sadly I was sick on Saturday, so I spent the day sleeping. On Sunday I was able to read a good book, so that was much better.

    Snowy, as in eight inches and blizzard conditions, but we didn't lose power. So I can also write we were warm but housebound. Soup, oatmeal raisin cookies - really I had to give some to the neighbor who helped us out with his giant snowblower on Sunday afternoon - knitting a mitten, and sewing a bit on a quilt.

  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).
