Weekends

 


How was your weekend?

My weekend was relaxing overall. First of all, I tried really hard to ignore the wintry cold air blast as much as possible. It was bitterly cold and windy - Frodo and I don't like that kind of weather at all but I do not want to complain about it. Today is the first day of Spring and let's hope spring temperatures arrive soon.

I found pockets of time to read and to knit at home even though I am still driving down to the hospital to visit dad who is now in a regular room. My family and I are hoping he can go to a rehab facility soon. 

I continue to enjoy knitting my top down sweater.

    This does sound like a more relaxing weekend without the worry of your dad in ICU. Here's hoping he can head to rehab soon, and then home!

    It got very cold here too (after a lovely Friday). Today is still chilly and I sure hope our winds stop soon! I'm sure your weekend was more relaxing now that your Dad is in a regular room. Hopefully Rehab will come soon!!

    I'm sure the drive is better now that your dad is in a regular room. Our weekend was spring-hectic - grandsons playing sports, church, dodging the wind and rain with Lucy ... and watching a bit of college basketball.

    The weather was pretty spring like, but sadly the weekend started out with the funeral of our son-in-laws dad. It was a nice service though, and it's a relief that he's no longer suffering.

    Your sweater is a lovely colour, and I love your project bag!

    The weekend was quiet with some cold days but a little warmer on Sunday. It must feel good to be visiting your Dad in a regular hospital room without all the ICU restrictions. Although if one needs ICU care, it is wonderful that it is available.

    Our weekend was cold and windy, too; my sister reminded me yesterday that it is still March and we should expect it ... grateful for sunshine, seeing the boys play sports, and catching up with a friend I hadn't seen in person since 2017!!

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).
