Weekends


 Good morning!

How was your weekend? I'm sitting in my kitchen watching the sun try its best to shine among the clouds. Today is going to be a beautiful day and I am going to be outside in it.

My weekend was great. I cannot believe its Holy Week already and yet I am ever so ready for Easter. I mailed the kids their packages last week and the only thing left to do this week is make a rice salad on Saturday for dinner at my sister's house on Sunday. 

My wrists are greatly improved and my knitting is back as usual (with me being careful). I forgot about my wrists yesterday morning while plunging a plugged drain and irritated the right wrist. Lesson has been learned!!

Besides going to Mass on Sunday, nothing exciting happened which is the way I love my weekends.

    Good to hear you are back to knitting a bit more (carefully). I'm sure that makes you happy. We had a soggy Saturday, but the sun came out on Sunday. Too chilly to be out and about, but the sun was a welcome sight for sure!

    You should save your wrists for knitting and leave the plunger to your husband!

    I am nodding with Bonny... any plumbing issues are always the husband duty!! It does look to be an amazing day!

    Good morning! It's a wet day here in Missouri. Glad you are able to get back to your knitting! Yep, plumbing is for hubby to attend to. :D It's nice that you can be out in the beautiful spring weather. Some of my Easter items for my granddaughter is yet to arrive... yikes! But I was looking for something special and it took some time. Have a blessed day Karen!

    Holy Week is my favorite liturgical time of year. Looks like the sock is getting some proper love now. Hopefully your wrists will behave. Other than having a plunger issue, your week/weekend sounds very nice and normal. Looks like we will be havng one of our last cool days today here. I will want to get out and take advantage of it too.

    Glad you're knitting again - love the yarn for those socks! Holy Week snuck up on me, too - I'm not quite ready for Easter, yet ...

    I am also glad you are knitting again. Easter is so early this year so it is. The sock looks great. Take good care of those wrists and hands.

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).
