Weekends are made for....

I would like to think that weekends are made for knitting and relaxing, but that's not how it usually works out.

This weekend was the Sweetheart Dance at school, Sadie Hawkins style. DS had a really good time with his friend (and he assures me that they are only friends). They were supposed to eat at a Japanese Steakhouse, but the reservations got messed up, so they ended up (14 of them) eating at the local Wendy's in their semi-formal attire. The other restaurant patrons took lots of pictures which, I'm sure, are all over Facebook now. DS is there in his Johnny Cash black shirt and pants that I had to buy in the ::gulp:: Men's department. He's so proud to make the giant leap out of the boy's dept.
 
What else did I do this weekend? I broke a sweat vacuuming and mopping (ugh!), baked some awesome bread and some brownies, too. I shopped for groceries (twice), worked a little bit on some tech editing, went to church and soccer game, and ta-da..... (drum roll) finished the white cotton pullover. I didn't take a picture... yet. Actually, I still need to weave in the yarn ends, but the knitting part is done. Yea!

Next project... fingerless gloves for a Bingo game prize. DD participates in Bingo for a group of retired women once a month as part of her service hours for National Honor Society. I printed off the instructions for Fetching - I hope somebody will like them. I'm in the mood for a stash-diving quick project.

: ) Happy knitting!

Your son looks handsome!

I rarely knit on weekends and housework is strictly forbidden. Weekends are for playing outside.
