Weekends

 

Good morning!

How was your weekend? 

My weekend was a regular weekend, those are the kinds I like best. We had nothing on the schedule. I did my daily walks with Frodo and my husband came with us. I wrapped up the Easter packages to mail out to the kids later this week. I didn't knit too much because my wrists are improving and I don't want to make them worse, but I did knit! I read books, I cleaned the house - ordinary stuff. 

Overall the weekend was pleasant and relaxing.

    Sounds nice and kind of like my weekend - nothing out of the ordinary, but small pleasures here and there.

    A normal weekend is always lovely. Nice to hear your wrists are healing a bit. Wrists are very essential for so many activities. Line lifting a coffee cup! Have a blessed week.

    It sounds a lovely weekend. We had a busy day - church, walk with the dog, dinner and back to church for young people's group. There's only 4 of them (including my 2 boys). Pool table, table tennis, cards (patience & clock patience) a discussion over hot chocolate & cookies. Then catch with a soft ball, on one knee if you don't catch the ball... a bit of a struggle getting up again ha ha. Quiet knitting atm x

    Sometimes all you really want is a regular old normal weekend.

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).
