Pumpkin Sunrise

This week I started something new , because well, why not?  Sure I have lots of projects on the needles and I thought let's add one more.  I've been lovingly imagining my jaggerspun  as a fair isle hat but so far haven't found THE pattern on ravelry that made me all giddy inside.  So I decided to design my own hat.  I remembered this fair isle book and in the back I have on hand tons and tons of charted patterns.  I think this will be fun to pick designs out! My reading is the same, I'm nearly finished with Blackberry Winter  and have enjoyed the plot.  I also love that the setting is in winter, a spectacular season! What are you knitting and reading this week? Joining Ginny and Frontier Dreams

I am making slow and steady progress on my Hitofude , I love how the skirt of the shrug is growing and I daydream about casting off and blocking this beauty.  The yarn has lots of spring so I have a feeling once the project is soaked I'm going to see more of the lace design!!

Weekends are for memory making,  relaxing and enjoying quiet moments of our days.   If you would like, please share your weekend moments  in the comment section with a link to your blog. My weekend was quiet and slow going.  Saturday greeted me with drizzle and rain and cool air.  Oh that felt delightful, to wave goodbye to hot and humid.  I browsed a bookstore and flipped through some magazines, window shopping can be fulfilling plus I saved some money in the end.  Yes, I walked out without a purchase in my hand. We had stir fry and I cobbled together some bok choy, mushrooms, asparagus, snow peas and tofu over buckwheat noodles.  Each time I create this dish, I become more successful at it. We are hooked on Mad Men now....didn't take long :)  We are approaching our one year anniversary of cutting the cord to satellite services (no cable either).  My husband misses the never ending sports shows but overall we have been quite happy with Netflix and Hulu plus and
