This Labor Day weekend is turning out to be great!
Friday I had a teachers meeting (I'm teaching beginning praise guitar) and later in the afternoon I made it to Cast-on for the afternoon KAL (which this week was just like knit night). I worked on my Seagrass Lace Socks for a few minutes before I went to pick up Emma where she was getting frozen yogurt with friends. Yes, I did get some for myself because it was hot waiting in the car. :)
On Saturday I met a fellow Raveler at Cast-on and we had a great time. We have a lot in common! We both bought yarn and buttons for Never Not Knitting's Shawl Collared Cowl. I got Rowan Cocoon in the Clay colorway. When I got home, I couldn't resist and I cast on right away. The weather was beautiful and I was able to sit out on the deck. Steve and Emma were at Dragon*con so I had the afternoon to myself and got a lot done. Then we grilled out for dinner - such a nice day!
"Fargo" from Eureka and Emma (dressed as "Claudia" from Warehouse 13 )
After church yesterday, we constructed a geodesic dome in the school playground. I think the kids will really have a great time with this and it was fun to put together. In the afternoon/early evening there was... more knitting! The cowl is done. It's almost done drying and I'm hoping to sew the buttons on later this morning. I love quick, fun projects!!!
Today promises to be fun, too. Emma needs my help with an assignment for her creative writing class. She's supposed to sit at Starbucks and "people watch" then write about three people she sees there. Drive her to Starbucks and knit while she's working? I'm all over that! But if she doesn't get out of bed soon it's not going to happen. Because this afternoon I'm going to make cards/knit with Mary, Lydia, and friends. Guess I'd better get moving!
Have a great Monday! Are you doing anything fun?
Sounds like you are making the most of the long weekend!

Wow, your post made me tired :). I did preeety much nothing this weekend...well, there was a birthday party...but yesterday was pretty much spent lazing around and knitting, all, day, long. It was awesome!
Today though, I labor. A friend is moving to Australia to help her mom get through chemo. It's been a bad month for parents in my neck of the woods...she hates packing as much as I do...except we've both realized we don't mind packing other peoples' stuff AT ALL, so she' having a packing party. You know, bring chips, salsa, spare empty boxes....it will be a blast! (Or so I hope...)
I love Emma's Claudia costume! (And not just because I caught up with Warehouse 13 yesterday on Hulu :).)

It all sounds like so much fun. However I can't help but be losing my mind with jealousy over Steve and Emma being able to go to Dragon Con! Soooo cool!!!

Oh cool, you can play the guitar?
My daughter likes yoghurt too!
Oh my goodness you finished the cowl already?!
Emma's assignment sounds like fun. Why didn't I get assignments like that back when I was in school?
It's Tuesday morning here for me and I'm having fun because I brought my son with me to work today. He's sitting at the table, working on his holiday homework. He's on a one week break from school :)
