Weekends

 

Frodo wants you to know it is too cold outside! How are you guys? Life around here has been nice. After weeks and weeks, I finally started to feel better over the weekend. (YAY)

On Saturday I made dinner for my sister and brother in law. What was supposed to be nine people attending, dwindled down to just the four of us. This is what happens with winter gatherings and viruses. We had a great time and did play a board game as well.

I've been knitting up a storm, still! I am just going with it until the knitting fever ends sort of like Forrest Gump and his running. 

Sunday morning was lots of snow, crazy winds and the roads were a mess, so we stayed home and stayed warm inside. I did my Sunday chores and relaxed.

How was your weekend?

    It is a good time of the year to stay inside and enjoy reading and knitting! :) That cat hat is just too cute!

    I love that picture of Frodo and the ears for your cat hat are simply darling. It's been cold and windy here too. Time to hunker down! So glad you are feeling better!

    I agree with Frodo! It is too cold! But since I can't change it, I guess I will just do the practical thing and stay inside as much as possible! I'm so glad to hear that you are feeling like yourself again. I'm sure your sister and brother-in-law enjoyed their meal with you. That hat is adorable!

    I was wondering if you guys had been caught in the artic vortex. Stay warm and safe. We ha e been unusually cold for where we live. But I am not complaining. All too soon it will be like living on the sun lol.

    Frodo is right about the weather. It is bitter cold. Staying home away from cold, crazy roads, and viruses seems like a good idea to me. I wound up another skein of yarn yesterday.

    Very cold here as well. Good to hear you are feeling more and more like yourself.

    This time of year is always the best for knitting, and for reading too. Sweet Frodo looks quite happy to be indoors where it’s warm.

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).
