Sweet

Our weekend - sweet! Two date nights with the Mr. I finally got to see "Star Trek". He indulged me. As a result of Saturday's funky weather, I had plenty of time to . . .

. . . finish up skeining, measuring and petting 125 yards of merino/silk/bamboo. And then I just stared at it, and showed it to Mr. a lot because I really like it . . .

and . . .

. . . I finished this side (Solid Square #149 from 200 Crochet Blocks) . . .


. . . and this side (Fretwork, #197 - same book!) of my potholder I seamed them together for the Tuesday Morning Knitting Group's "Let's Just See If We Can Crochet Potholders and Then Decide What To Do With Them".
Extreme close-up to show the tidiness of my crochet stitches.


And . . I decommissioned something that many of you might have called a "poncho" if you were inclined to get "that look" from me and a stern lecture that it was NOT a poncho but more like a "multi-functional wrap with one hole and no sleeves." This MFWWOHNS, made from Eco-Wool was skeined, washed and left to dry in the room with the world's largest residential dehumidifier. Eventually, this will become Copine.
Everyone needed a break by Sunday and thankfully the weather cooperated enough to spend the afternoon and evening outside, rolling in the catnip plants.
How was your weekend?

Hmmmm; where can I get a bed of catnip to roll around in? :)

My weekend was very quiet as my son went to a friend's cabin Fri-Tues. I spent it knitting, cooking, baking, and a little gardening.

You did a very neat job on the squares!

That's a cute potholder! : )

Star Trek ROCKS.

Star Trek did not disappoint. Perhaps you need to stage an intervention for Tig?

I'm sure Copine will be lovely, but MFWWOHNS is a much better title.

I am less and less tolerant of the weather and, so, I am most intrigued by "the world's largest residential dehumidifier."

Yay for Mr! We liked Star Trek. And Wolverine. And Up.

Gosh, saw three movies in the last two months - that's more than in the last two years!

Hot. Why isn't Star Trek still playing around here? The best out was The Hangover.

Those blocks are cute. I'm sure the MFWWOHNS will be lovely.

If you don't talk to your cat about catnip- who will?

My weekend was hectic! Glad yours was fun.

Star Trek was awesome. I'd like to see it every other week until the end of Summer.

(ALSO? Great yarn!)

I have this vision of the whole family rolling in catnip on Sunday. ;)

We really liked Star Trek. I thought it was one of the best Star Trek movies.

Tig looks so happy - I wonder how Sammy looked :) I've not seen Star Trek yet.
