Weekends

 

Good morning! 

On Saturday my sister and brother in law invited us for dinner but we did not play any board games this time. They had a busy day and wanted to relax after dinner. My husband has been joining me for walks because he has those stitches in his arm and is restricted in his activities, it's nice to have him along. 

Now that the weather is getting hotter, I walk earlier and earlier to beat the heat. Frodo and I do not like hot and humid weather, but you know that about us already.

I worked on the sweater that probably doesn't have enough yarn, but I do have a pretty good plan that I'm excited about. I'm over half way through the first sleeve, thoroughly enjoying my time knitting. 

On Sunday I attended 7:30 am Mass enjoying the cool church (no AC!!). Once home, I blitzed the laundry chores and tidying up spaces. My husband and I have lunch on the back patio before the day gets too hot. 

How was your weekend?

    Pretty cone flowers! Lunch on othe patio sounds delightful. Your sweater is coming along nicely and glad you have a plan in case yarn chicken is involved. I walked yesterday, but I think my legs need a rest today!

    Hot and humid weather is yucky. Good thing your early mornings are still pleasant enough to get in a walk. No A/C in a church? The priest must melt in all his priestly garments! Poor man. Your sweater looks like a nice relaxing knit.

    I know you were wishing for dull days ... and I think your weekend sounds perfect! I did smile at he idea of church without A/C. That sounds delightfully ... like winter here ;-) I've been knitting, knitting, knitting on a shawl for a friend - it needs to go in the mail this week. loving the dull days here, too!

    Look at your flower bed. I love cone flowers. I am also walking earlier and earlier. That sweater is going to go with everything.

    How nice that you have your husband joining you on your walks. I've been doing early morning walks also to beat the heat. Love the knitting.

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).
