It's a long weekend. Tomorrow is Liberation Day. I love Liberation Day, it always feels so, well, liberating.
Some blogging friends have organized a virtual craft and reading circle day. We participants are, well, virtually crafting and reading together (real crafting and real reading, virtually together). Awesome. So I will be posting regularly throughout the day as will these folks:
Oh my god. What am I doing inside right now!
Ahhh, that's better. More later, friends.
Midday Update....
Seems at though the weather is fully on board with my plans to read and craft today. Just after this**
came these
and a piss down of rain. Perfect. No guilt about staying inside to knit instead of weeding this
Nope. No weeding. Just dodging rain drops, grabbing some mint, making some tea (grandma's tea cup....nothing but the best for my virtual friends),
and back to the couch to cast on the front....
In case anyone is wondering, I'm working on this sweater.
It comes from one of the first knitting books I ever bought.
I've made this sweater once or twice before....
more later.....
**thanks to David for that photo.
oh wowh, I love your view, your flowers and your knitting. Right now you have the most special place to be creative. You should show us your patio with the unique surrounding... See you soon. I'm so looking forward to the progress of this day...
ReplyDeletethank you Mila, wish you were really here, not just virtually!
DeleteGood morning! I hope you enjoy the day - and this wonderful view and the sunshine in Italy make me a little jealous. ;) Oh, and I love the colour of you wool!
ReplyDelete(Whew, reading in English is so much easier for me than writing, but I hope that I will manage without too many problems during the day. ;) )
your english is great! I'm so lucky you all can do this in two languages or I'd be left out!
DeleteBongiorno,
ReplyDeleteI love the Idea to be a little in Italy through being in one Project with you :-))
grazie!
DeleteOh, Italy, I love it......... ;-). I will be back to look, what you are doing today. I'm working in my "wild" garden today... Have a nice day - Ghislana
ReplyDeleteAnd I love your garden and this sweater. Happy sunday... Our raindrops gone away, sun is here, for some minutes..., let's see...
ReplyDeleteI hope your sun lasted longer than mine did!
DeleteThe sweater looks chic and cozy at the same time - I love it and I think it will be great in that colour. Grandma's teacup is really an eyecatcher. Rainy days are really not for weeding, those days are meant for knitting, tea and books!
ReplyDeleteI'm beginning to think that SUNDAYS (rain or shine) are for knitting, tea and books!
DeleteI think you are right! :D
DeleteOh, I love the sweater!
ReplyDeleteYes, today is the perfect weather for staying inside and knitting/crocheting - here in Austria as well.
so I'm not the only person to have stayed on the couch with a lap full of wool today?
DeleteApril weather everywhere, obviously! Oh, Lynn, I adore your Grandma's teacup. It it so beautiful. Like everything in your house and garden. I love your sweater. I only hope you won't have to look as bored as the model...
ReplyDeleteaw, thanks, Mila. I will definitely be a happier sweater-wearer than the model.
DeleteHappy Liberation Day! What a wonderful holiday - every April 25 one could make it their own liberation day :) although I did google Liberation Day Italy and got a history lesson. Love the sweater and really am lovin' the flowers on the patio. Beautiful
ReplyDeleteIt was such a pleasure creating almost with you on sunday. It was a very special day for me and I'm very glad you joined in. And I'm looking forward to your new lazy-sunday-sweater of course...
