Weekends

 

Good morning! How was your weekend?

My weekend was wonderful. I enjoyed having a healthy dog and all the benefits of a healthy dog. Frodo finished his medications on Sunday morning. We are back to walking daily, not as far as in the colder weather but still a nice walk. I walk him a little bit, take him back to the house then I finish my walk on my own. I love having my walking buddy back!

Both Saturday and Sunday afternoons, I knit some and read some. I try my best to make my weekends feel like weekends with lots of relaxation. On Sunday morning, I attended 7:30 AM Mass while my husband and brother in law worked on replacing the deck stairs. 

Below is a photo of calf (leg?) warmers (?). My mother in law requested socks with no feet to keep her calves warm in the winter. So I'm making a pair of socks with no feet - this should be a speedy knit.

How was your weekend?

    I'm glad to hear that Frodo has completely recovered. I'm sure that was an ordeal for all of you. It's nice that family members know just who to ask for custom knitted items they might want!

    I am so happy that Frodo is back to his cute little self! And I chuckled a bit at sock with no feet... Steve prefers socks with no legs... so maybe he and your mother in law could be friends! :)

    Hooray for a healthy Frodo. My weekend was like yours. A little knitting, a little reading, 4pm Saturday Mass and some yummy salads for dinner each night.

    oh I know how much you love having Frodo healthy AND walking with you again. and your table looks a lot like my kitchen counter, or my desk, depending on the time of day :-)

    How wonderful Frodo is mostly back to being healthy and walking with you. Your table reminds me of mine. It is fun to have our things close by our favorite corner/space for knitting, reading, and other hobbies.

    So glad that Frodo is back to his old healthy self. That's so nice of you to make those calf warmers for your mother-in-law. I love the picture of your table with all of your favorite things close at hand to enjoy! I hope you have a great week.

    Wonderful news about Frodo. Although we love our pets, it is like taking care of any sick family member and can be tough at times......it is always good to be back to normal routines. Great idea for calve warmers. I can't wait to see them finished.

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).
