Starting the weekend...

It is Saturday peeps !

I have so much that I need to get accomplished this weekend, so much I don't know where to start. So in typical Andi weekend style I will start with some blog reading, breakfast, and a few stitches ( because I like to multi-task).

On the subject of breakfast, the above pictured porridge has been my everyday morning grub for a couple weeks. I make this recipe on Sunday night and it is enough for  me to have a bowl everyday. I add a lot of different toppings depending on what I have on hand. This morning I had some bananas, apples and walnuts. During the week I had some wonderfully sweet blackberries-yum! A bowl keeps me going well into lunch and helps me not to snack in between meals.

These socks are being finished, I am on the last toe! This means my pair will be done by the deadline-take note Jody (inside joke).Even with the end of the month fast approaching I decided to cast on another pair of socks with the beautiful gifted yarn from my friend Maryse.

The pattern is Hedgerow, while it is not an exciting knit, I think it shows off this lovely yarn perfectly.

Okay, now I really need to get my butt in gear and get some chore done. I will leave you with a video that Kiwiyarns Knits shared on her blog. It makes me laugh out loud.

Have a great weekend everyone!

I saw that video somewhere else but I still laughed...a yarn diet indeed...in our dreams.
your porridge looks yum, your knitting looks yum and you...you're just adorable! Hope you got some of the chores done...if not...well, that's what "tomorrow" is for.

The video really made me laugh! Your little socks are so cute! Your new stitch markers are so pretty! Seems like 2012 will also be a good year for socks!

I have porridge for breakfast too, although not usually with all the yummy toppings. I might have to branch out! That sock yarn is gorgeous!! I'm a total sucker for that colourway, and you've picked out such a pretty pattern to go with it.

Absolutely LOVE that video! Thank you for sharing! Your breakfast looks so yummy!
I tried the Hedgerow socks, but let it down after a few repeats....It was, as you said, not exciting! :D

I love the bit about hiding the yarn from the husband. I hear that All The Time at the LYS.

Porridge with nuts and fruits is pretty much the ultimate breakfast food as far as I'm concerned. Your variations sound particularly yummy! I really like the yarn you chose for that project, you have the best taste in yarns : )

My partner rolled her eyes at the video, especially her taking photos of herself in hats etc hahaha love it.

Your hedgerow socks look quite lovely, I will have to go and gunt down the pattern!

Have a lovely rest of your weekend XXX

Looks like a great recipe--oatmeal is a great one to cook ahead and use throughout the week. Great topping ideas, too!

Haha I was reading about your Dublin Bay and smiled before I even got to my name. I'm glad you'll be done :)

BTW I've been meaning to try steel cut oats but your post has just put me over the edge. If I hit the supermarket later today I'm going to pick some up and try portioning them out for the weekend. I'm getting a bit tired of my shredded wheat - and when I start to get tired is when I go for something I really shouldn't be eating.

oh, and that video? AWESOME!!!

[Lisa]

That recipe sounds easy and yummy, I will have to try it very soon. Those socks also looks gorgeous, that yarn is so pretty; I bet you will have them done in no time :)

[Andrea]

It's official...I no longer feel the need to knit socks, I am just going to drool over yours :).

[Erin Kate]

I love the video!! And that color is absolutely AMAZING!

[Allyson]

I've been on the porrige thing too! I never thought I'd enjoy it so much. I might have to try those toppings.

I love the colour of that yarn. My favourite kinds of red :)

I have never tried steel cut oats. I have thought about it though...I do make quick oats sometimes. Dried fuits and nuts is a must on top and also some brown sugar. Your video was so funny.
