This past weekend my two daughters and I attended a wedding of my oldest daughter's very first friend she made when she changed high schools as a sophomore, 10 years ago.
The wedding was held at the absolutely beautiful St. Augustine Catholic Church in Augusta, Maine. I'm not Catholic, I'm Episcopalian which is quite close, so I just love the opportunity to attend a catholic service, especially a wedding. I snapped this photo as we were waiting to exit our pew.
Here we are - "the must have selfie" at the reception. My oldest, Bree (center), is married to the most wonderful man, Matthew. They live in Augusta as well so I get to see her often. Michaela is almost 17 and quite independent. So to have the opportunity to spend a Saturday celebrating with these two made my weekend (as evidenced by the smile on my face). We had a great time.
Okay, now down to business!
Knitting: Washcloths galore! I'm knitting at work (at lunch), in the car, at home, morning and evening. They are coming along nicely. I even have two volunteers to help me! Two of my co-workers offered to help, and now I think I've given them the knitting bug. How blessed am I to have such wonderful friends and co-workers.
I placed a large order from Knit Picks. It's their comfy sport yarn. It's is so delightful to work with. Softness that I didn't expect. It really does make for a special washcloth, more for skin than pots and pans. Because it's so nice and soft it makes me want to knit all these little buggers and I have yet to get bored!
Not spending a lot of time reading these days a page or two at night, but since the forecast is looking promising for accumulating snow this Sunday, I hope to spend it with yarn, book, tea and of course...football and family.
Happy Wednesday everyone! Joining Ginny
Your photo with the computer, mug and knitting is a familiar sight for me... I'm always enjoying some coffee, pretending to do school work, and knitting at the same time!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a fun time at the wedding too.
I wish I could get paid to sit at my desk and knit all day! I do try to sneak it in on a break here and there. :)
DeleteWhat a wonderful package from knitpicks! Love their yarn as well. That pink is glorious!
ReplyDeleteI just love the colors too and it's my first project using yarn from knit picks, and I'm hooked!
