  1. Love the rich orange of your yarn. My weekend . . . a little antiquing, painting an art journal page, and starting a new knitting project.

  2. Sounds like a very busy weekend! Hope everyone is on the mend/well.

    Enjoy Dr Who - which doctor are you watching?

    Love your image and the new header :)

    Have a good week :)

  3. Your weekend sounds lovely! I've been dyeing fiber and spinning (and watching video games). We need to catch up on our Doctor Who (the whole family loves it, thankfully) - we haven't seen the current season yet. Also, I've been working on a dalek shirt for the Beast's third birthday a week from tomorrow (he loves walking around the house declaring "exterminate! exterminate!").

  6. We are all watching Dr. Who right now as I type this, lol. The little one started watching it and now has us all hooked.

    Hoping your son is doing well.

    Love the new header by the way. Gorgeous!

  7. Sounds lovely! Sorry about the storms and sick boy... Love the new header! Your yarn makes me sigh deeply, it's been too long since I got out my needles and string.

  9. Yes! My sis got us hooked on Doctor Who but we are a few episodes behind. It's our evening indulgence, haha.

    Stay healthy! Hope your son returned to school feeling much better.

  10. Hope you don't get your son's virus! I had a spring virus recently - not fun. A Sunday alone sounds lovely - glad you got some knitting and reading done - what is your new project? The yarn is a lovely fall-ish color!

  12. The yarn is such a pretty color! We spent some of the weekend working in the garden, I had a fun night with great friends, a work related dinner... Busy, but lots of fun.

  13. I do hope your son is feeling better, it's no fun being sick.

    I have yet to see an episode of Dr. Who, but then I haven't seen Downton Abbey yet either. I really must sit down one day and watch them.

    I love your new header, it's perfect for spring.

  14. Love your new photo header!

    We had some sort of virus in the house all last week ~ no fun for those who got it. Fingers crossed that it passes you by. I am totally unfamiliar with Dr. Who but my older daughter just got hooked.

    Happy Monday :)

  20. At last I'm catching up on blog reading. I've missed everyone...and yours has changed...it looks so pretty Karen. Lovely for spring.

    Sorry to hear about the virus hope all get well soon.

    I haven't seen the first episode of the new Dr Who series yet, hopefully we'll find time to catch up this weekend. This is the only Dr Who that I actually like, he's so eccentric, I really love him...I can't wait. Nor can I wait to see your new project...hopefully you'll be sharing for Yarn Along.

    I'll just do a quick catch up with what you've been doing now.
    Have a great week.

  22. What a beautiful photo! I am sure a yarn winder (if that is the technical term!) is a very useful thing to have. When my mom and I bought the yarn for my first socks, I made such a colossal knot out of it, and we spent the whole day trying to get it undone: ack! Now I know better, but my mom, I tell you, is a saint!
