Weekends

 

Good morning! How was your weekend?

On Saturday morning, I had a sister outing that was so much fun. We went to various stores then ended up with a smoothie and yarn shopping. That is the perfect outing. I bought three more skeins of sock wool for my husband. I completely forgot about shopping for myself. 

Later that evening, my sister and brother in law came over for dinner and game night. It seems that game nights are seldom since our schedules are busy. I'm glad we squeezed one in before my sister's second grandson is born this month. We are all excited about a new baby!

I worked more on the second sock, I haven't bought any new knitting needles yet. I'm still thinking about it. I am resting and stretching my wrists and avoiding the marathon knitting that I can easily do. 

On Sunday, we had the craziest weather. It was snowing so much that you could not see across the road at times and yet the snow would melt, well mostly melt. Frodo and I were not happy about how windy and snowy it was. Today is a new day and hopefully that wintry weather has past.

    Those socks are coming along nicely! It sounds like our weather was similar to yours, so your husband will still need those nice warm socks.

    I'm so glad that you had time with your sister on Saturday. It sounds like you had a lot of fun. And I hear ya when it comes to the weather! There were times here that it was also blizzard like conditions and we couldn't see our neighbor's house next door...for about five minutes. It was off and on like that all day!

    The socks are coming along. A sister outing is always fun and it's always nice to replenish the sock yarn stash. Last Friday we had a dusting of snow but it melted by noon.

    Your sock yarn looks a nice colourway. My son visited us for Mother's day on Sunday (UK), nice to see him. He only lives 30 mins away but works shifts. Have a good week, we have cold, wind & rain today x

    I really like the socks you are knitting. Game nights can be fun. So glad you could get one in before things get busy with your sister's new grandbaby. We are having crazy up and down weather too. I hope your week is going well! See you again soon.

    Sister Time is the best! and how fun that y'all and your husbands seem to get along so well! March has been crazy-weather here, too, but it was 70!!! today. I wore flip-flops to take Lucy out for her after-dinner walk.

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).
