A Hermit Is Not Just A Cookie

November 29, 2010 By Carole

I was in full hermit mode this past weekend. In fact, I never left the house all day Friday, Saturday or Sunday. I had the groceries delivered, I put out all the Christmas decorations, I watched a lot of tv, and I did some online shopping.

Unfortunately, that sort of weekend doesn’t make for very exciting blog fodder.

Maybe you’ll be excited by this?

Through the Woods Progress blog size

I did some knitting. The pattern is Through the Woods and the yarn is Cascade Eco + in the color Valentine.

It was a perfect weekend.

    She will look beautiful in this. I only left to drive my college girl to get the bus back to school.

    I didn’t realize Eco came in such beautiful colors! What a great idea to keep your head warm during the winter cold. I could have used something like that all weekend!

    That was what I was hoping my weekend would look like. Then I decided I should run my errands before the big cold snap. That means I can declare a weekend day sometime this week though, right?

    I just bought the pattern and same yarn a couple of weeks ago. after I finish some Christmas knitting…. I am casting this on for me. Can’t wait to see your version. I just love the looks of the hood.

    Sometimes recharging the batteries is the best thing for you. I did about the same.

    I LOVE it!! I think I may have to make one or two of those for Christmas here. 🙂

    I didn’t realize you could still get groceries delivered these days…

    Your weekend sounds much more relaxing than mine! I don’t think we stopped even for a breath all weekend. I did get to knit a bit in the car & again last night, though 🙂

    Sounds perfect.
    (A hermit IS a cookie???)

    Huh. I just looked it up and there are about a million recipes for hermit cookies… which I’ve never heard of before in my life!
    ; )

    You mean there’s a cookie out there called a Hermit cookie that I have yet to meet? Must remedy that, stat!

    I love this pattern and now will have to make it. I recently bought yarn (to go with yarn I own) to make myself two other scarf, mitten, hat sets. Now I will have to add this. I have some Eco + in the stash that would work.

    Sounds like my weekend sans grocery delivery. Love the pattern and the color! My knitting was working on some of the ‘kits’ I’ve made to destash some of my 1 and 2 fer’s.

    Any weekend with knitting has to be perfect. Hurrah for being a hermit!
