Weekends

 

Hello! How are you? How was your weekend?

My weekend was ultra relaxing but I made it so. I've been enjoying reading and knitting, sometimes at the same time, in the afternoons before I start cooking. I love the change of seasons and how I move with them. In the summer, I hardly feel like knitting much but I do. In the winter, I can't get enough of knitting. I've mainly worked on my hat or my sweater on Saturday and Sunday.

I walked yesterday and I believe that is the last walk outside until the end of the week. It will be too cold. That doesn't stop me from exercising in the house though.

It's been so cold I washed eight pairs of wool socks yesterday! A record. 

We really didn't do much this weekend except go to a nephew's birthday party on Saturday afternoon at my sister's house and attend church on Sunday. I've been hibernating. I love winter for the cosy hibernating.


Holly says 'hello', she is waiting for her beloved (husband) to come back to her while eyeing me suspiciously. 

How was your weekend?

    It definitely is the season for knitting and wool socks. I'm sorry you are just the spare as far as Holly is concerned!

    There was a day the other week where I had lots and lots and lots of hand knit socks drying in our downstairs bathroom. I'm glad for the luxury of pulling those socks on in the morning. We got snow yesterday!!! And it will be frigid cold - single digit temps overnight for the next several nights. Stay warm! BTW, I just requested "Conjure Women" from my library!

    After watching the football games yesterday, all I can say is brrrrr. I have no idea how I survived living in the Philly area. I like that vanilla sweater. Super versatile.

    That sound like a very nice weekend. We were busy sweeping up leaves and neatening a path edge on Saturday. Then church on Sunday, a walk with son and his girlfriend. Some knitting happened too but not a lot x

    I need to start a yarn project... maybe a baby afghan? It's extra warmth on the lap during these cold winter days.

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! How are you? How was your weekend? I had a great weekend but I didn't take any great photos. I've been wrapping presents a little bit each day instead of doing it all in one massive long day. This has made a difference in my joy as I wrap. Do you wrap all at once? Or do you do a little bit at a time? Miss Holly has been finding the sun spots and getting her 'tan' going. She is a sweetie. I have no idea what she is watching outside that window. She does that every day. My guess is probably birds or chipmunks but chipmunks should be resting now that it's super cold outside. Sadly I did not take any photos of my knitting, but I have been knitting! I continue to work on my husband's hat and I ripped out a pair of mitts I started (couldn't see the dark yarn with cabling) and started a much simpler pattern instead. Sunday was church then the laundry. I am getting excited for the upcoming holidays. The kids are coming back with the grandchildren and...
