Weekends

 

You know it's been a good weekend when there are only knitting photos involved. Sure I was cleaning the house and doing the weekly laundry but doesn't everyone have those tasks? While my husband was taking care of the oak leaves in the back yard I was winding some new wool for a future hat for me. 

I also started the second cat blanket for my daughter's cat! 

I'm still trying to decide which hat to knit. I'm close to a decision but I'm mulling it over before I cast on sometime this week. 

The weather was crazy warm, too warm for me but it was lovely to see people in shorts and flip-flops in November! Next weekend is supposed to be cold. I am so ready for regular November weather.

How was your weekend?

    It's always fun to see your knitting projects. The cat blanket is great! Our weather out here in Utah was cold with some wind and rain. More snow and rain is expected this week.

      Yes, I'm also wondering what a cat blanket is...a small one for a cat?

    My knitting was paused for a lot of post storm leaf raking and a bit of painting. Love that yarn on your winder.

    Our weather must have flipped with yours. We were in sweatshirts, jeans and hats. Very unusual for us this early. Hats are so fun to make. Quick knits for sure. Your daughters cat is going to love you.

    I always enjoy seeing your projects! We had quite a windstorm here that left lots of leaves and pine needles to rake. As for my projects, I did lots of ripping. Sigh.

    I envy your weekends of calm. Ours was crazy. It involved a house full of guests and an urgent care visit.

    I am glad to see you winding yarn for a project for yourself. We had beautiful fall weather - highs in the fifties. Just right for November, if a tad warm. The weekend was quiet. I ripped back Norah's scarf, drank coffee, and took some nice walks around the usual chores.

    Your hat yarn is such a lovely colour, I expect it is all knitted and finished by now, just catching up on some blog reading!

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

Hopefulness

Image
  Good morning! This week has been busy with classes and routine doctor appointments. The arthritis doctor has a few tricks up her sleeve for some of my dry mouth issues (from my autoimmune disease - Sjorgren's Syndrome) that make me feel hopeful. What was the most important thing during that doctor visit is that I felt seen and heard. I am thankful for her and her team. Speaking of hopefulness, look at my daffodils sprouting up! Some of the daffodils are just starting and some already have a head start. I love winter, but I'm looking forward to spring. The crocuses seem to be taking their time this year, as well as the snowdrops (unless those pesky deer have eaten them, grr). Even though I am still knitting my baby blanket, I have gathered four skeins of potential socks to be and am dreaming of a wonderful sock frenzy cast on.

New Year

  Good morning! How are you? Happy New Year, may this year be full of blessings to all of you. Well now, I finally have an empty home after having our son, daughter in law, grandson and granddaughter here for six nights.  I am still experiencing fatigue and symptoms from the virus even though I am feeling better. It was a challenge hosting family while recovering. Also we babysat the kids overnight (!!) while my son and daughter in law went for little getaway. I am thankful and grateful my Aunt came over both days to help out with the granddaughter who never sleeps during the day. (snack-naps do not count!). They all left early in the morning, and while I was tired, sleep deprived and fatigued, I put away Christmas plus all the toys and doodads you need for babies. Today I am looking at a squeaky clean house. I am planning on reading books and falling asleep while doing so! My exercise routine is on hold as I slowly get better. Maybe next week I can muster up some energy for some yoga
