Quiet Weekend

What an uneventful weekend! The weather was very blah--super foggy with some occasional rain. We watched a couple movies and relaxed. I love quiet weekends.

I spent yesterday trying to get the smell of bleach off my hands after cleaning up some sand dollars found at the beach. If you go to the right part of the beach at the right time, then there are lots to be found. I have always loved them, and I'm thinking about putting some in a shadow box for the bathroom.

There has been quite a bit of knitting done over the past few days as well. I'm starting to get shoulder pain--that can't be a good sign! I finally bound off my Cavern Cardi, which just needs the finishing touches before it's complete.

I also started a new pattern, the All-Season Shell. I had the called for yarn, which was purchased at a going out of business sale. If it hadn't been so cheap, I probably wouldn't have bought it. I can't resist a good bargain though. Anyway, this seemed like a good way to use it up--something simple that I'll actually wear. I think the name is funny. Is it just me, or is a shell something you wear under a suit with pearls?

Tonight I'm going to start the sleeves for my hourglass sweater. I'm having a hard time getting motivated to work on this pattern, but I think once I get going it will progress quickly.
