Lazy Weekend with FO

I had a pretty lazy weekend, and I know I am not alone when I say that is an unusual even for me. So many of us are juggling many different demands, even on the weekend. Usually, I judge a weekend by how much I accomplish. By that standard, this weekend was a failure. 

My back and neck are still pretty sore after the accident at school last week, so I didn't actually choose to do so little. I should have been getting the house ready for Thanksgiving, but instead I read, napped, and knit. I did go to an art exhibit with a friend on Saturday afternoon and out for coffee Sunday morning. Mostly, though, I just rested -- and that felt pretty good.

I do have an FO: a finished pair of socks in Over the Rainbow, a gradient stripe yarn by Knit Circus, which just happens to be right here in Madison:
You can knit these, as I did, so that are different -- or start on the same color range so they match.
I love the way the color gradient stripes work out. It made the knitting go quickly!

    Gorgeous! Giving me some sock envy right there. I'm sorry that it was soreness that slowed down your weekend, however it still seems you got a lot done. Just more relaxing things. Wishing your pain away.

    striping makes everything speedy I think. Any kind of pattern except cabling, that slows me down mentally and physically. I hope you feel better soon!

    Hmmm, sure thought I commented on your great socks! You were right-on about my sock pattern, only I used an Ann Norling basic kid sock pattern as they are for my GD, by request for rainbow socks. ;>)
