I bought some new sock yarn, and started a toe-up pair of socks on Friday. Friday evening I knit on the socks.
Saturday morning our new range was delivered. I spent an hour pouring over the instructions and precautions (do not operate in standing water). I knit on the socks.
I planned activities designed to put the new member of our appliance family to the test. We went to the restaurant supply store and the grocery store. Then I knit on the socks some more.
I baked chocolate chip cookies from scratch for the first time in years. In between batches I knit on the socks.
I baked English Muffin bread from scratch. I knit on the socks while it rose, and while it baked.
I made Chinese BBQ pork ribs and green beans with soy/sesame sauce. After dinner I knit on the socks.
Sunday morning I meal planned for the week, picking out recipes from Cooking Light and BH&G. I knit on the socks.
I made bread from scratch, while watching the Amazing Race, and knitting on the socks.
I went grocery and pet food shopping, then came back and knit on the socks.
I baked a 7 pound "Fire and Spice" ham, and knit on the socks.
In the evening we watched "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire". I knit on the socks.
Tonight, after I start the laundry - and while BLING is washing up from Cubed Steaks Paprika and broiled Asparagus - I will cast off the first sock.
I think it was the best weekend ever.
Hey, we watched "HP and the GOF" this weekend, too. Coincidence? I think not!
Oh, and the picture of the sock is...where?

I've been taking pictures at each step - I should have a set ready tomorrow or Wednesday, depending on how long it takes to get them the way I want them.
Oh the demanding public (dramatic sigh).

Wow! That does sound like the perfect weekend! :) I, too, knitted socks and watched GoF! And then spent some more time knitting and watching all the super cool extras. :)

Hooray for Bling!!!! I knew I would like you! Alan Rickman IS sexy. Thank you very much.

Alan Rickman scares the bejeezus right out of me. I saw Kevin Costner's Robin Hood when I was FAR TOO YOUNG FOR IT and ever since then, when Rickman is in a movie, all I hear him say is "I'll cut your heart out with a spoon. That way, it will HURT MORE."
He's a perfect Snape, tho'.
What's up with the Cirque Sockie thing? I haven't been paying attention. (oops)
