The perfect Sunday morning. What would yours be like?
Mine would look exactly like the top picture and I was lucky enough for that to be part of my Sunday yesterday.
My idea of the perfect Sunday is
:: waking up when you’ve had enough sleep, rather than to the sound of an alarm clock;
:: padding downstairs in cosy socks and PJs to pop the kettle on;
:: taking a tray laden with brewing breakfast tea and a warm cinnamon bun back to a still-warm bed;
:: reading and knitting the morning away in bed with chill radio playing until everyone else is up and wanting some lunch;
:: pottering in the garden after lunch, tidying up the vegetable beds and enjoying the golden light from the setting sun blushing the spring blossoms on the tree;
:: making a roast dinner for family and curling up together for wine and cuddles by the fire afterwards.
It’s not often that everything is in alignment for a perfect Sunday, but I’m hoping for a re-run next weekend 🙂
My knitting projects above are:
‘Out of winter shawl’ by Tamy Gore, knitted in simply stunning ‘Owl Feather’ Grenouille sock yarn
A pair of simple ribbed wintery wristwarmers that I’ve improvised in order to let this beautiful hand-dyed neppy yarn take centre stage. The the rich earthy tones and light neps of the yarn remind me of a ploughed field in winter, so ribbing seemed appropriate. The yarn is ‘Need for tweed’ BFL/Donegal nep from Ocean By The Sea (the making notes on the wristwarmers are on my ravelry project page)
Reading: The Peregrine by J. A. Baker – beautiful written, evocative prose for quiet Sunday morning

Your photos and your writing are so beautiful. I can imagine you at home with you cozy knitting. And the yarn is so appropriate for “almost spring”.
I love lazy Sunday mornings. Mine was spent celebrating my daughter and her baby’s birthdays. And it was glorious to all be together ( even though no knitting was done yesterday).
Have a lovely week Julue.

Love this whole scene… and captured so beautifully with your photos! I yearn for easy days & my wish would be a day similar to the pace… and snacks… of yours. Aren’t “those” days such a gift. Glad you were the recipient! 💐🌈☀️I can’t believe they don’t have a cinnamon bun or knitting emoji 😆

Your weekend sounds lovely! Keep posting your pictures of spring! Here in Minnesota, we have 4 feet of snow on the ground and below zero Fahrenheit temps. But it is warm and cozy inside!

Is the shawl knitted on 2 straight needles? I can’t get used to DPNs or knitting in the round !
