Weekends

 

How was your weekend?

I'm on a roll with having quiet weekends and this one was really restive. The only event that caused some hiccups was the crazy windy rainy weather that knocked out power for moments at a time. We held our breath waiting to see if it was permanent and luckily it was not. Phew.

On Saturday we went for a country drive north of us and did a little bit of shopping (one was a grocery store so that wasn't exciting but they carry things I cannot get locally). We enjoyed seeing the greening trees and spring bursting everywhere.

Sunday morning, we attended Mass and then the rest of the day was laundry. 

All weekend long I was either reading or knitting. What a great way to spend a weekend. The top photo is a scarf and the bottom photo is a never ending hat in K1 P1 ribbing.

    What a lovely weekend! The scarf looks very pretty and boy! A 1x1 ribbed hat would take me some time to make! LOL

    You are so brave to make fancy scarves!! Sounds like a perfect weekend. We also sometimes have to take a drive to stores far away from us to pick up items. Locally we do not have many around us. My dry mouth has been an issue lately with allergy season so I haven't felt the best....however, I am on school vacation this week and I am planning a lot of reading and knitting. I find the crocheting hurts my hands more than knitting.

    A weekend with lots of reading and knitting sounds wonderful. That scarf is lovely so far and you may even be done with that hat someday!

I knit my first sock! well, almost done. check out my post on my blog and see if you can help me with the hole in my gusset if you get some time please!... Yes, spring is springing up all over! Finally the oak trees are leafing out. They seem to be the last to join in around here. Hope your week is a continuation of your weekend! :)

    Our weekend was quiet as well. I made an apple pie...actually, I made two of them. One was for a friend who has an upcoming birthday and the other was for us here. We had that very blustery wind too...thankful that it didn't take out our power.

    Another wonderful weekend for you. Isn't fun to try different grocery stores? An adventure for sure. The scarf is very pretty. Love the lace pattern on it. Wish we had a need fir scarves or hats here. Only wore my hat twice this winter. At that rate it will never need replacing.

    Sounds like a lovely way to spend the weekend. I try not to do any laundry over the weekend because then I will have to fold it :(

    What a nice weekend for you. The scarf is going to be very pretty. There is something about Spring that suggests lace knitting. That mystery series you are reading is one of my favorites.

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).
