Weekends

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. Did you have a good weekend?  I sure did.  This was a do nothing weekend, meaning nothing was on the schedule.  These do nothing weekends seem to be fewer and fewer.  I'm not complaining because we see our kids or friends so I'm quite happy with the busyness.  But, boy oh boy, a do nothing weekend is quite decadent these days. So here is how I did nothing: -dinner out on Friday with my husband along with some....ahem....donuts for dessert -finishing up Mad Men tv show on Netflix -Saturday was spent all morning exploring our options on what to do on our do nothing day -started a pair of mitts for another gift, I swear this is the last present :) -we opted to shop locally for a few hours -so far today I've:  been to Mass, cleaned the house and did some laundry, talke

My knitting has been fast and furious.  Well, sort of, I guess.  I finished the cowl in the photo last night and need to soak and block it today before its photo shoot.  I might make one more cowl or I might not.  I would love to be knitting some other kind of project but I also love the feeling of being almost done with Christmas knitting. I finished the hat and posted yesterday . Just a quick visit to the post office and another to do errand will be checked off. My reading is the same, The Mathematician's Shiva , and I'm nearing the end of the novel.  Overall I've enjoyed the book.  As I said last week, the math "stuff" goes over my head.  When my son reads this book over one of his breaks, I'm sure we'll be having some good discussions.  I picked up a copy of Jane Austen Knits magazine.  Oh how I love the designs, lace projects and articles!! What are you knitting and reading this week? Joining Ginny and Frontier Dreams
