Pumpkin Sunrise

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. Can a weekend be delicious??  Mine certainly was.  The weather was spectacular, blue skies, warm air, truly a welcome sight.  Every window is opened and and the house has been freshened up.  Luckily my allergies are behaving and at night I fall asleep listening to the night sounds.  The older I get the more I appreciate spring.

This week I've been knitting two projects.  The first is a citron shawl  that is super easy and my knitting while reading project.  I am enjoying this knit and the simple stockinette stitches.  My other project is a second hitofude  cardigan with long sleeves.  I really enjoyed knitting this sweater the first time and now that I'm repeating the pattern, it's like visiting with an old dear friend. My reading has been the same as last week, I'm reading The Shipping News and the plot is slowly evolving.  My other read is Pollyanna  and by the time you read this I'll have finished this book.  The novel is uplifting and Pollyanna talks to the townspeople of being "glad".  She of course wins over ever single person and resolves all of their problems. This book would be a great one to read to children. What are you knitting and reading this week? Joining Ginny and Frontier Dreams
