We spent the evening relaxing and I showed her some of my knitting I was working on and she asked me if I would teach her. Heck yeah! We buzzed into Wal-mart and picked up supplies and after taking a relaxing/energizing walk in the neighborhood...we knit!
Saturday we packed full of activity since it was really our only full day together since I had to meet back with the in-laws after lunch on Sunday. We had breakfast at the farmer's market in Raleigh and I think I turned Becca's little boy Trent into a strawberry fiend. Sorry! We then headed over to the flea market and poked around but couldn't find any good deals but the weather was beautiful and we got some great exercise and fresh air! Becca did find some awesome cheapy yarn (I turned her to the dark side with OCD yarn shopping) and some great beads. More on the beads later...
Trent slept the whole time at the flea market so we took him to the park to wear him out so we could hang out and have some girl time. Here are some cute park pics -
Trent realllllllllly wanted to play basketball! "If only I was a little taller...."
All boy... enough said! Look at that red hair!
Swinging with Aunt Ashley (before the motion sickness kicked in - I am such a wuss!)
After dropping Trent off with his dad for lunch and nap time, we (the girls!) headed off to Barnes and Noble. By this time it was POURING rain! We had excellent timing. We spent 3 1/2 hours sitting in super comfy chairs, drinking coffee, eating ginormous cookies and knit-knit-knitting! I started Laurie's (aka Aunt Purl) 'Magic Scarf' and am LOVING it! It looks so cool and I can't wait to finish it! I have a million knitting projects going on right now. I had taken my sweater-in-progress with me but I didn't feel like I could teach Becca to knit with that since the pattern is pretty complex and of COURSE those were the only pair of needles I brought so I bought a new pair and some pretty/soft/CLEARANCE yarn and started the scarf of my dreams - hehe. Here is our super relaxing knitting girltalk day:
Becca concentrating on her first-ever knitting project! She is a fast learner!
My pretty scarf-in-the-works! It's a bit hard to see but it's a very pretty basket weave pattern.
So that was our mighty fun and fine weekend! (I won't mention the over-indulgence on wine Saturday night...) The trip back home wasn't bad and before we headed out, I stopped at the really cute and fun Locopops in Durham with the in-laws. Oh - before I forget, Becca makes super pretty beaded necklaces and made me one I rocked today - I got so many complements on it! Thanks Becca! Here's the necklace and another pic of my wonder-scarf:
