Weekends

 

Good morning!

How was your weekend? Mine was filled with:

-getting so close to finishing the poncho! - lunches on the back patio - watching Holly successfully hunt and kill a dried green pea in the kitchen - daily walks - saying goodbye to cool breezes and resisting the hot humid weather that is returning - cleaning - laundering - menu planning - reading - more knitting! - homemade pizza - Mass on Youtube 


What did you do this weekend?

    I did some very dull cleaning, laundry, and mowing, but made time to knit a few rows. I'm glad you're approaching the end of the poncho!

    Holly for the win! LOL. Surely your hot humid weather won't stay long. Right? My weekend consisted of going to Home Depot, watching 2 exterior doors be installed, knitting, crocheting, going to Mass, watching NFL and watching movies. There might have been some bread making in there too lol.

    Mine weekend was all about 'recovering' from being gone for 3 weeks, lots and lots of laundry, cleaning out the trailer, etc. Glad to be home but not loving the high temps, 'the never ending summer'. Glad Holly got that bean!

    First weekend home in a while. It was nice to do a good cleaning. Lots of rain yesterday = lots of knitting time. Can't wait to see the poncho.

    Sounds like a full weekend! Love that picture of Frodo… he’s so adorable ☺️ It’s been very hot here in Phoenix and I am longing for cooler weather. We didn’t do too much, just our normal round of shopping and relaxing together at home.

    Sounds and looks like an absolutely lovely weekend! We had a busy one with 3 parties to attend and a BBQ so it was a tiring one! A lot of fun too though, the kids had a great time, and so full of ice cream and cake at the end of it, haha!

    Hope your week is off to a good start :)

    Looks like you had a great weekend. Mine was quiet if not very productive. Enjoy your poncho; I made it several years ago! In yellow.
    Cheers~

    The weekend inc1uded an ear1y padd1eboard on Saturday. IT was very very quiet. We got on the water by 0800. The trip out was against the winds. We stay c1ose to shore when there are strong winds. The way back was so fun. Winds pushing us a11 the way back! The water was c1ear and warm. Our Iake is spring fed and so c1ear and c1ean.
    Sunday was an awfu1 Iot of sports on radio, on tv, and computer. Cubs, Packers, Bears......but a pretty day to sit on my porch and watch the hummingbirds come back over and over and over to drink

    Relaxing and getting back into a routine, with a little baking and crafting thrown in.

    Sounds perfect, Karen! I'm glad Frodo managed to catch that pea for you!

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).
