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. 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

Since last November, I've been on a yarn diet of sorts.  I looked about my studio and saw lovely yarns I've bought.  Skeins and skeins sitting and waiting to be knit into a new project.  I've made a conscious effort to not buy yarn unless I am unable to find a suitable substitute in my studio.  The challenge was fun and I did dig through some old skeins that have made me a happy knitter and a thrifty one since I was knitting from the stash.

My sock blanket is growing and growing!  But slowly....I love knitting it now that there is a chill in the air, a tiny chill but still a chill to love.  I have so much leftover sock yarn that I haven't reached the bottom of the bag. I'm continuing my hitofude cardigan that I posted about yesterday and my imagine when shawl . I rotate between all three projects as my mood changes.  I am having an urge to cast on the fourth project just to have one more option, but what? For my reading this week, I started a new novel called Blackberry Winter by Sarah Jio.  This novel is captivating and she shifts from present day to the past during WW II.  Oh how I love the past!  In the evening I relax and do a mini time travel. What are you knitting and reading this week? Joining Ginny and Frontier Dreams
