Purple Hitofude Complete

The cardigan is done!  Now all I need is some cold air to wear it :) I wish that the body of the sweater was longer but I haven't the heart to redo and add some length, maybe sometime in the winter but for now this sweater is complete. Ravelry notes are here

Weekends

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. Did you have a fun weekend?  I did!  This was a "do nothing" weekend.  But you know I did stuff, I always do.  I like the kind of weekends that we have nothing on the schedule and we do whatever catches our fancy. -I took photos of our new perennials (paid less than half off the price, love fourth of July sales!) -read my novel and loved being in another place and another time -hot dogs for dinner one day (not healthy but fun) -made homemade coleslaw where I shredded the cabbage I felt quite pioneer like (with a food processor) -contemplated some more of what I'd like to knit.... -walked before the heat of the day -wrote more lists -met a friend for some knitting time today-it was awesome! -wrapped a gift :: bird watched :: daydreamed :: perused the yarn sta

Noticing my World

Image
I'm noticing: -cicadas humming and calling out to each other -how I feel sleepy working on a wool blanket -the shifting light, so slight but noticable -fawns who were once tiny acting confidently, knowing their way through the woods -winding up the wrong madeline tosh skein and thankful that my stash on Ravelry stopped me -daily searches of the pool to save the toads -two weeks and one day for the wedding, yup! -rejoining a yoga routine and feeling every joint gasp in shock -writing daily in the mornings loving how I feel so good when I do -a craving for more salads -less bird chatter in the morning compared to springtime song -simple daisy abundance along the roadsides -that foreshadowing of a storm brewing-the stillness, humidity and darkness -the happiness of a bowl of limes, that used to be lemons -the scent of cantaloupe when you first cut into the melon What are you noticing these days?
