Weekending - the sky was grey and so was the crafting

It was another lovely weekend spent reasonably close to home. On Friday we went to my brother's place for dinner, which is always nice (for us). They were hosting because one of their Golden Retriever  had a knee operation and can't be left alone. Their dogs seems to spend a lot of time at the vet.

Saturday was sunny and beautiful and I had brunch with Elise. I wanted to confirm her measurements for the cardigan I was about to cast on for her. She is about to head overseas for a month, so there is no measuring while I'm knitting.

Then in the afternoon I made buttons for said cardigan.

While I was there making checks, I made a pair of earring for Katie.

Sunday was very relaxing and indulgent, although there was also a lot of exercise in there! We went for a run in the morning. The runs are getting longer and faster and more tiring. I'll probably do the half marathon at the Marysville running festival in November. Then I finished the hat I've been working on. 

 I toddled off to a dance class. This term the Sunday afternoon dance class is themed music theatre, so I very excited about that. When I got home I started the sleeve of Elise's jumper, to acts as a swatch:

Please excuse the artificial lighting in many of these photos. We had a huge storm on Sunday afternoon, with rain and thunder and so much lightning. It was delightful to be warm and dry, inside looking over the city and the storm.
