There was a lot going on this past weekend, besides working both Saturday and Sunday. To start it all off, C and I got tickets to attend a Washington Redskins preseason game at FedEx field. It was a fun experience since neither one of us had been to a professional football game before and didn't know where we were going, anything about where we were sitting, how to get there on the metro, or how to get home. The other boys, when finding out where we were, were really jealous and wished they could be with us.
We left the house at 6 pm and got home at 1:30 in the morning!!!! I had to be at work at 8 am, so didn't get very much sleep. I did go to bed early on Saturday night, though.
C's comment when I took this picture: "Mom, you're weird. Why do you need a picture of me at the game?" Why for the blog, of course. Silly boy!
Sunday, after work and dinner, it was so nice outside (no humidity) that I spent an hour on the balcony with the Scholar and some merino roving in the Coral Bells colorway from Misty Mountain. I have four ounces and am hoping to spin enough for a scarf or shawlette. I don't know which one I want just yet, so will wait until the fiber is spun and plied before I decide. Then I can see how much yardage I will get, before deciding. It is turning out mostly orange, with the purple and yellow and a splash of gold peeking through. I am thinking of someone specifically as the intended recipient, but haven't decided for sure. I might decide to keep it for myself.
There was a small amount of knitting, this weekend. I completed and knit another baby bib, while at the game and on the metro. Started a third bib on the way home and have that one almost finished. It is my stuck in traffic knitting, so will be finished today. To top off the weekend, I got to see this beautiful sunset as I was heading inside last night. Now that makes for a good weekend, even if I did have to work the both days of the weekend.
Happy knitting and spinning.

I too am sooooo jealous!! When they play the Cowboys at that field let me know :P. hehe
The singles are very pretty, wonder how they will ply up. It will be a beautiful scarf of shawlett. I'm almost ready to ply my Cria singles. Will make my decision when I know the yardage as well. Gorgeous sunset!!
That is really pretty coloring! It will make a great scarf or shawlett. I'm glad that you and C had a good time at the game. He just needed his cowboy outfit to wear and you would have had a better picture. :-)
Oh How Lucky! I want to go to a redskins game so badly, esp the Dallas game.
I love the way the singles are turning out. Are you going to Navajo ply it. that will make a beautiful striping pattern!
The bobbin and the sunset: a match!
