What more appropriate reading matter to accompany a knitting project called "
Geysir Stretch" than a
book sub-titled
Strangers in Iceland?
My weekend has been a knitterly immersion in the latest Stephen West
shawl pattern, part of his Choreo KAL project.
After the usual Saturday chores, I settled down to knit, breaking off only to walk the dog in the top woods. FL came too. It's been a while since he felt able to walk through the trees. The path is often hazardous in the half-light, with unexpected branches plucking at our hats from above and boot laces from below.
And today? More knitting, more reading. Blueberry spelt muffins and a hot drink.
There is a venison and root vegetable stew in the slow cooker and the house smells of the port and prunes I hid in the depths of the sauce.
If this is winter, I don't mind.

Sounds perfect, winter is good!
Oooh, I just read that too! I liked it a lot, although there were to many trolls, and too little knitting, to my mind...
Sounds like a lovely day, I particularly like the sound of the muffins!
Ooh, gorgeous! Am jealous. I've done a lot of knitting this weekend, too.
Great combination of activities. That stew sounds delicious.
I love the lyrical way you describe your environment. I will think of branches plucking at hats from above and bootlaces below next time I find myself in such a place.
Love the idea of blueberry spelt muffins and stew. Mmmmm. A weekend with a good book, new knit project, great food sounds fabulous.
Can't think of a lovelier way to spend a weekend! And that color combination is looking awfully tasty ...
What a lovely weekend!
Shawl will be lovely with either the raspberry pants or some dark blue or black.
Nice weekend. Got to do what you wanted, it sounds like. Good food, too
