Pumpkin Sunrise

Well well, once again my computer is trying to get the best of me.  However, I skillfully won (?) and am here to write my post.  My knitting has been quite productive the past week, I finished this cowl  and my second hitofude cardigan  is upstairs soaking away and waiting for me to lightly block it. So.....all that is left on the needles is my scrap sock blanket !  I am thinking of what to cast on with all of these empty needles.  I need some portable projects. I started Girl in Translation by Jean Kwok.  I bought this book a long long time ago and it's been patiently waiting for me to start reading.  I finished Oh Pioneers  over the weekend and enjoyed the novel.  I must say I believe I've read that book, the ending was awfully familiar. What are you knitting and reading this week? Joining Ginny and Frontier Dreams

I finished this cowl over the weekend, the pattern is a striking stitch design and fun to knit.  I loved that the pattern was super easy to memorize and you could multitask while whizzing away on the the stitches. Pink is not my go to color but this pink is just perfect.  I'm thinking that this cowl will be a present for someone special, so I've folded it up and placed the cowl in my gifting pile.  However, I'm tempted to keep the cowl for myself.

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: -foraging for raspberries on our walks *pick one, eat one, pick one, save one* --repeat from * to * -a rainy rainy Fourth of July, I was mostly inside but hearing the fireworks in the distance -grateful that neither Frodo nor I are afraid of the noises of the Fourth -cake....um, I have got to stop making cake! -perfect weather today -knitting a lot each day and loving how I feel when I knit -nearing the end of a novel -daisy love -saving two little toads in the pool today -loving Frodo, who is a lifeguard--he stares at the pool until you come see what he is staring at -loving Frodo's joyful dance twirl when you do what he wants, saving toads, giving him treats. How was your weekend?
