All week long I thought I was going to have to go in to the office this weekend to work on the-book-that-shall-remain-nameless. Then all of a sudden Friday morning those weekend plans were cancelled. Suddenly, I had a free weekend. So what did I do?
Friday night I was going to do all this knitting, but by the time I got home and had dinner, I had turned into a giant slug. So much for Friday.
On Saturday I had a much more productive day. Ran a bunch of errands, stopped at the yarn shop, and most exciting of all, I jumped on the Sensational Knitted Socks rebinding bandwagon..
After seeing a couple of bloggers do this I just had to do it myself. It's like having a whole new book! I'm so happy with it!!!
Saturday night was spent at Joanne's. Her hubby figured out why my computer was acting up. (It kept reving up to 100% CPU usage so some unknown reason. Thank you, Ricky!) I turned the heel on my 3rd red sock.
It's hard to see in this picture, but all three socks are slightly different. I guess I won't know which two are the keepers until I wash them.
I also swatched for some new Malabrigo hand warmers.
Alpine Pearl is the color. The pattern is from Webs. Even though I should really be concentrating on finishing some of my multiple projects, I really need some Malabrigo touching my hands. You understand, don't you?
And finally, what better way to end a weekend with a delicious roast chicken, especially one with rosemary, garlic, lemon, and honey.
And the gravy! Mmmmmmm...
Oh yeah. Gravy.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea for the sock book. How'd you do it? Just put it into a binding machine? The Claudia's look great. You could always wear them under boots! and mmmm, even though it's morning that chicken looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteYay for a surprise free weekend!! :o)
ReplyDeleteI've been considering doing that to my sock book too - and my 'scarf style' book...and my 'clean faster' book...and any other book that I'd like to leave lying open...it looks so cool!
Oh and chicken...yum!
