It is Sunday and I feel refreshed! I love weekends where I have accomplished everything I need to and still able to get my knit on. :) Yesterday was all about housecleaning, laundry, and grocery shopping. I was able to have some downtime in the evening to squeeze in some knitting and visit blogland. New and fantastic projects in blogland always make my weekend. I also picked up this week's flowers. I like them, they remind me of wildflowers.
On to my Sunday. Is there any better way to start your day then with a cup of coffee with a dear friend? Add to that, your friend brings a brilliant new project. Let me preface this photo with a text message that I received yesterday morning from the dear friend (guru) exclaiming, "You are going to freak when you see my new scarf", she wasn't kidding...
Sorry I didn't get the pattern link, but as soon as I do I will post it. As she worked on this beauty I was thinking of ways to distract her and take off with it without her noticing. he-he. No, I was continuing work on my lace leaf scarf. Progress is going quickly, can't wait to get this baby blocked. In other knitting news, The Mystery KAL is still going on and since I can't show pictures till it is done, I will just tell you Clue #2 is done.
I am loving this summer of knitting! Who would have thought that 112 degrees would actually increase my need to knit? Knitting tonight will continue with this show on television, thanks to Netflix.
The weekend is drawing to a close. For once I am o.k. with that. It was a very long and trying week. I have a friend that left this world this week. I am not mentioning this to receive any condolences, quite the opposite actually. I am mentioning this because I learned a lot about the people I surround myself with daily and the importance of telling people how much they bring to my life. It will not always prevent them from leaving at least they know that they mattered. This year I have broadened my friendship horizon through my passion for yarn. Through emails, pics, and blog post I have made some truly amazing friends. So I want you all to know how much your friendships mean to me. I value each and every one of them and I am so grateful! So, thank you.
Have a happy and wonderful Sunday evening!
