Happy things from the weekend include:
Finishing a pair of Susan's mitts
Sending them a friend
Driving to Park City on clear roads
Spending a lovely evening with friends who are here to ski
Safely navigating through fog on our return trip
Staring at a bluetifully blue Sunday sky (I'll share pictures later)
Time with my wheels and feeling wool slide through my fingers
Quiet time to reconnect with Henley
Being away from the computer
Checking on Smith's poo pots
Drinking a dark chocolate latte while visiting with knitting friends
Laughing, talking about books with the same friends
Not watching the Oscars
Weekending is inspired by Amanda
Sounds like a fantastic weekend. I love the color of the new mitts and I forgive you for not loving the Oscars like I do! lol

What a nice weekend! And I'm toally with you on not watching the Oscars. I didn't even realize they were on until I checked Twitter and saw that they were all anyone was talking about. Eh...whatever!

Sounds to me like the best weekend and not watching the Oscars is a good idea I usually follow but not last night so I fell asleep in the midst of it all,,, :)

Will have to check on pattern availability... that could be a good traveling project!

Sounds like a great weekend. I hardly ever go to the movies, so I didn't watch the Oscars either.

Excellent weekend! No Oscars here, either.
I planted some seeds today! But no poo pots.

I'm with you on the the no Oscars! I did have to check out the best and worst gowns on the internet this morning tho!

No Oscars here...but loved The King's Speech...film and music...excellent! Sounds like a heavenly weekend...and dark chocolate latte...hmmm, I'm not a coffee drinker so I miss all those wonderful drinks! I'll have to find one of these soon! Thanks for my new vice! :)

So sorry, Margene...I absolutely love your new mitts...sorry I neglected to mention them in my last comment...I got distracted by the dark chocolate latte!
Posted by: Maureen | February 28, 2011 at 12:53 PM
I was so knocked out by your mitts that I tried to buy the pattern from your LYS. I was informed that I can only get it with the purchase of yarn, which is fine -- but $11.00 in shipping is a bit too rich for my pocketbook for one skein of yarn. I just hope that Susan eventually makes the pattern available some other way. I LOVE your mitts! Be glad you missed the Oscars. They were pretty lame.

Mmmm... dark chocolate latte! :)
The mitts are gorgeous!
Posted by: Chris | February 28, 2011 at 04:54 PM
Mitts are breath-taking and your weekend sounds lovely.
No Oscars here..other than my late Grandfather:)
Posted by: Dianne | February 28, 2011 at 05:05 PM
I'm with Regina! I had the same issue. I would buy the pattern in a heartbeat but I don't want to pay for shipping of yarn I already own. :(
Can you help convince her to publish it separately as a .pdf download? Pretty please? They are beautiful and perfect - exactly what I have been looking for!
Posted by: Susan B | February 28, 2011 at 07:12 PM
What a fantastic color. I'm in love! Sounds like you had a glorious weekend. I think I'll put an order in for one of those too!

Sounds like a wonderful weekend.

Ooo - sounds PERFECT. I could go a chocolate anything right about now. :)
Posted by: Anne | March 01, 2011 at 05:50 AM
:) You make the perfect weekend happen no matter what you do. The poo pots must love the increasing sunlight hours. March 1! Can you believe it?
Posted by: Laurie | March 01, 2011 at 06:30 AM
What a wonderful time you had! Love the mitts. I skipped the Oscars, too. And I gave you a shout-out on my blog tomorrow - the yarn is just TOO beautiful! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Posted by: Laurie | March 01, 2011 at 06:34 PM
Those mitts are fabulous! I probably need to make a pair, there seems to be a lot more stormy weather in my future yet!
Posted by: Birdsong | March 01, 2011 at 08:07 PM
And now that I know those mitts are mine, well, they are EVEN BETTER!
Posted by: Carole | March 03, 2011 at 01:00 PM
