I slept in, had two eggs fried to perfection and an extra cup of coffee, and looked forward to a whole day to quilt and knit and cook. The weather was ideal September - overcast with occasional rain squalls.
I've been working on my March quilt. I started this back in it's eponymous month with the goal of having it done by the show & tell in April, but I was struck down with De Quervain's Tenosynovitis. It took me months to get out of that wrist brace, and I'm still using the therapeutic putty to strengthen my hand. Anywho, this was the next UFO on my list.
I'm doing echo and in the ditch quilting for the blocks, and a simple motif in the sashing. I puttered through the quilting all day, watching Mrs. Henderson Presents, Yes Man, and of course the ever-present Venture Bros., and taking occasional breaks to knit.
My knitting project requires a little bit of defense. I'm claiming it as an exception in the goal to not start any new project, only finish UFOs. Technically, it's an addendum project - a cabled hat to go with my Irish Hiking Scarf. I had quite a bit of the leftover yarn - it's just Red Heart, but I hate to waste it. I'm using a free pattern off Head Huggers, and I'm thinking about incorporating some colorwork. No pictures yet, but this lovely long weekend is young!
