Weekends

 

How was your weekend?

I had a blissful uneventful one which is the best kind of weekend to have. No stress is a blessing. 

During the week my husband and I were walking daily, but this weekend ended that streak because the weather wasn't cooperating. My husband likes non-windy days and we both like non-rainy days. I cannot remember which day (they all blend together, ha ha) but on our return home from a walk we were caught in sleet, which is by far better than rain. 

I read a bit and knitted a lot.

Sunday was the usual chores around the house. 

How was your weekend?

Another sunrise!

    Walking on a windy day is not any fun. That first yarn is really lovely. Enjoy that stack of books

    Your weekend sounds blissful. Knitting and reading make a day wonderful. Your sunrise photo is gorgeous.

    I'm another one who does not see wind as a friend. I always tend to get ear aches (even though they get covered one way or another) and then my eyes start to sting. Not good!! today is kind of cloudy here, but it does look like our wind has finally calmed down. I will most likely just work out inside though. It is chilly and damp out. Your weekend sounds lovely - peaceful and calming.

    It sounds like a perfect weekend if you ask me. I was a quiet weekend here too :)

    Had a good weekend here as well, and it's not over yet, because it is a long weekend due to MLK Day. High winds expected here tonight as well. I love your sunrise/sunset picture in this post. The light blue yarn in your current project is a great color. Enjoy this week, and hopefully the windy days will be few!

    My weekend was stressful . I was trying to help a relative hang in there during his panic attacks. Exhausting. But he is better . When you panic alone during Covid, it is a huge struggle.
    But, I did wrestle my ruffle sock to the ground and finish one. I shoveled the long driveway Friday and Saturday. Also, I watched the Misty COpeland ballet movie. It was very good.

      Thank you. May I ask which Etsy stores? I'm interested in the decorative washi and paper items you use in your bujo's when you have the time. ^__^

    Another quiet weekend but quiet is good. Sleet sounds awfully cold and wet to me. I don't walk when it rains because I hate it when rain hits my glasses. Unless wind is doing damage or is unsafe, I enjoy walking in the wind. I think it comes from living on the prairie. Your journal is so sweet. And do tell us how you like knitting on the flexible needles? Are they Flexi-flips?

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).
