Pumpkin Sunrise

Hello! My knitting this week has had slow but steady progress.  Last week, we moved our son from Boston to State College PA and my knitting time was minimal.  I was too busy bemoaning the hot and humid weather and no air conditioning at either apartment.  Sigh, it's a personality flaw of mine, to complain about something I am unable to change. This week is different, I'm in my home and I've been diligently working on both of the above projects.  My socks should be done this week and so will my antarktis shawl .  The big question is, what will I cast on next?  Ah, the possibilities. My reading is the same as well.  I am loving this novel and the way it mingles truth with fantasy as a child navigates through the loss of her grandmother.  It's not a sad book at all.  Can't wait to see what happens! What are you knitting and reading this week? Joining Ginny and Frontier Dreams

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 awesome and it's mainly because after a grueling day of unpacking our son in his new non-air conditioned apartment in State College all day Friday, I'm blissfully in air-conditioning now that I am home sweet cool home.  I cannot remember a time where I've been so miserable because of the heat and humidity. However, his new place does have a "breeze" and so when it's a tad cooler that will be delightful.  My RA held up beautifully and I suffered no set backs (phew!).  Saturday after I ran a few morning errands, I did nothing except visit all of your blogs that I missed during my busy week.  I also resumed knitting and reading.  Ah, back to my boring life that I do so love.  Today, my husband made a curry dinner while I was knitting

As you read this post, I'll be helping my son move into his new apartment in State College along with my husband.  There will be no air conditioning and it's on the third floor.  Goodness gracious!!  Keep me in your cooling thoughts that the move goes swiftly and safely.  So far, I've had tiny hiccups with U-haul as well. We packed up his Boston apartment and traveled back to PA yesterday. I thought you'd like to see my knitting in progress.  My dandelion daze shawl is making steady progress.  I'm going until I run out of yarn!  What I love most about this pattern is that it's a nice chart to follow and I haven't made too many mistakes as of yet.  Phew!! My antarktis shawl which I shared on Wednesday is again in the photo.  I love this yarn!!  The color is dreamy and squishy.  What more could a knitter want? This is Frodo ignoring me.  He hates when I try to take his photo :)  I love when he ignores me, he is irresistible! packed?!
