Weekending…

Crawling along on the current DIP...

Yes, there is a small amount of knitting going on around these parts. This week it has mostly just been at knit night, sadly. But the project is moving forward, if at a tad slower pace than I’d like. It has also sparked some other ideas that are bouncing around in my head now. I love it when that happens!

What are you knitting (or crocheting or spinning) these days? Something seasonal? Getting a jump start on gifts (or finishing up belated ones)?

I’m hoping to get a bit of knitting done over the weekend, though my back/neck will dictate how much. Last week’s cold snap triggered a stubborn spasm that I haven’t been able to fully kick yet. I also have an upcycled sewing project in the works that I’d like to wrap up. Partly to finish something but also because once completed it should help with my back/neck :-)

Tonight though, the weekend will start with birthday celebrations to kick off DH’s next trip around the sun with after work drinks with friends at a swanky local bar followed by dinner at DH’s favorite Italian restaurant (I’m hoping to pre-burn those carbs with a run over lunch today, though I ran after work last night so I’m not sure how that will go with less than 24 hours between runs).

So, in addition to some knitting and sewing this weekend I’m also hoping to sneak in more lefse making, bottling the current batch of kombucha and starting the next, a nap or two, some reading and perhaps a movie. If the weather holds perhaps a trail run or a bike ride too (or some form of physical activity anyway)! I’m sure I’m way overestimating, but it is good to have options on what to do, right? Of course, some of those things can be multi-tasked.

What do you hope to do this weekend? Something fun I hope!

Oh no, back problems are the worst! I hope you have a heating pad — they’re a godsend.

Sounds like you have a great weekend planned! We he’re having lobster chowder at a friends’ house tonight, out for sushi tomorrow night, and a trip to the good Middle Eastern grocery store on Sunday. I’m hoping to finish the yoke on my Drops cardigan, but my hands/elbows are protesting a bit from the trinity stitch pattern, so we’ll see.

What a beautiful colour your knitting is. I hope your spasm hasn’t stopped you in your tracks.

My knitting is boring right now - or at least boring for public consumption. I have a bunch of underwraps things I’m working on, and my only “public” knitting project is a re-knit of a pattern I’ve already knit. Yawn.

[…] Yes, my plans were quite lofty for the weekend. While I can’t check off everything I mentioned I feel like the weekend was successful — a nice combination of getting stuff done and resetting for the week to come. […]
