A little “long weekend” before the long weekend.

I say that because I took Friday afternoon off.  It was so great to leave at lunch time, come home and relax.  I’ve been feeling very tired lately – like I need a nice long break.  No can do, so I took four and a half hours off.  Hey, it’s better than nothing right?

I knit a lot this weekend.  So much so that I got this strange tingly feeling in my left middle finger – like when your foot falls asleep.  I’m guessing that was a sign to slow down a little.  So, I didn’t knit on Sunday (well, not a lot anyway).

Check it out though:

I’m pretty sure I’m nearing 100 hours on this baby. 

My friend Michelle was down with her husband and her two kids, Samuel and Cloé.  I had so much fun with them.  We drank tea, played on the Wii, knit, chatted and stayed up way too late.

Oh, and I figured out (finally) how to use my ball winder!!!  Youpi!  (They left me alone for a few hours and I went a little crazy…)

There’s enough here to make at least 12 pairs of socks (should be spelled sox I think).

Saturday, we went to the sugar bush.  We had a blast, even though it was pouring.  I took Jacob.  Then there was Michelle, Riel, Sam and Cloe.  My mother and Gerry came too.  France and Berto joined us after breakfast.

Put this on your to-do list for next year.  The more the merrier.

I started these…

But I’ll be working on the gown tonight.

I’m already looking forward to spending my May-long-weekend with Michelle and the fam.
