Weekends


This weekend was fantastic.  First of all I've had a miracle healing after my 'almost but saved' trip in the garage.  I feel unstoppable!  I've had a mind reset and I am extra cautious to slow down.  Why of why am I always in a hurry?

Second of all I've started a new top down yoke sweater.  I saw this pattern while doing a search on Ravelry (as one does) and I could not resist.  I bought the burnt orange yarn (the main color) while visiting my sister last fall.  The contrasting colors I originally bought were not super-wash like the main color, so I was ultra lucky to do some online yarn shopping last week to find my colors.


The only color that I'm not sure about is the dark gray.  However, I keep knitting because I know I'll know when I have enough rows knitted whether to keep the color or switch it out.  I never mind ripping out and starting over again.

Saturday was lots of knitting, finishing a book and going to Mass in the evening.  We picked up a pizza for dinner and relaxed in the evening.

Sunday was lots of knitting and all those pesky chores like laundry. 


How was your weekend?

  1. I helped Justin pack and move the rest of his stuff back to NJ, and then then we drove down to MD. Too much time in the car, and I was the driver, so no knitting time! I'm looking forward to seeing you knitted yoke. I bet those colors will look great together!

  4. A beautiful pattern Karen. I think we live in a hurrying world, it can be difficult to be the one who is moving slowly. I am a work in progress on that one too x

  8. Yes, we are we always in hurrrry-mode?????

    And we do need to notice this, and work on counteracting it. -smile-

    It's unsafe. It's not good for our overall health. Hurrrry-hurrrry mode is like "fight or flight". Baddddd for our health.

  10. What a good looking bunch of yarn for a yoked sweater. I am anxious to see how you put the colors together. Quiet weekend here but the weather was positively balmy, 64 degrees on Sunday. It feels a little eerie - too warm for the first part of March. I had two lovely walks and finished some knitting projects.

  12. My weekend was hard for me as Fireman went to the barn classes and I stood or sat on my donut. Sunday friends took us out for early afternoon dinner and it was a mistake for me to sit on the coats on a hard bench. But, the sun was warm! I sold a levi's jacket I had been trying to get rid of, and a snowboard. All in all, pretty good if you take away missing the BARN!

  13. Knitting up that jumper will be fun for you. Plymouth Worsted is a great workhorse yarn.
