More Socks

 Hey everyone....how are you?  I am okay.  I have been fairly sore lately....I am working out the same amount I always do, so I dont know if it is just my trainer giving me harder stuff or what.....but soreness has been a real struggle lately and it has been affecting my knitting mojo.

I did finish some more DK weight socks...I started these for Kody a while back...but I just finished them

I think Amira is going through a growth spurt because she has been sleeping a lot lately....at least for me, she might be keeping mom and dad up....when she stays up till 2 am, mom and dad say she is "closing down the club"....LOL!

I recently got a pop up memory from 11 years ago....Look at Big Brother 11 year ago!

I also attempted another meal that Paige posted on Instagram, but this time I forgot to get a screen shot of hers....it is a cream cheese, avocado, and boiled egg mixture on top of a bagel with red pepper chili flakes...I used only the egg whites of my boiled eggs and I will definitely be making this again

I got my yarn for my July Blanket club....no more shawl club since it was just 6 months, but I still need to finish my shawl

My sister's birthday was this past Sunday and we went to my parent's house for dinner....my sister snapped this pick (we did not intentionally exclude big brother, he was in the restroom).

That is really all I have.....I hope you have a great week!

My below parting picture is from a book I recently finished listening too.....it was pretty great.  It is Chaos by Luna Mason

Quick Socks

Hey everyone.....how are you?  I am okay.  Just after my last post, my son called and asked me to knit some socks for his girlfriend in Scotland.....so I was off to buy some yarn and make some socks!!

Sometimes I forget how much I love to knit dk socks......I think my next pair will be green

The other day Paige made a dinner and posted the picture to Instagram......it looked so good so I tried to recreate it.

Paige's:

Mine:

It was really good!!

That is really all I have except a beutiful hummingbird at my feeder

Have a great week!

Hurricane Season

Hey everyone.....if you live in Texas, you know not only is it Hurricane season but that Beryl is headed for Texas.  This one has been pretty unpredictable.  The eye was originally expected to hit the top part of Mexico, just south of Brownsville....but that has slowly changed more and more North as the days went on.  Finally hitting as a category 1 around Matagorda, TX (South of Texas) this morning around 3:55 am.  

It was believed it would be close to category 3 (I think) as that is what I think it was when it went through the Caribbean and Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula.  Don't get me wrong.....I am glad it is not packing the punch everyone thought it would and it is terrible that it has claimed the lives of 10 people so far.....but my goodness, it is not even funny how wrong all the predictions were over and over again.....That is Mother Nature for you!

Okay...enough of that (I do not think SA will even get any rain from this one).....what have I been up to?  Not much......seriously, I need to do more!  LOL!

This beautiful girl has a dr appointment today (just a check up) and I cannot wait to see how much her stats changed.

My coworkers are again sleeping on the job

I made a mistake on my montly blanket.  After seaming 6 squares, I was to pick up stitches on one side and knit a pattern, then the same on the other side.  However, I did not realize the pattern I was supposed to knit was different for each side.....but I just went and did the same pattern on each side and then realized my error (the second pattern was on the back side of the card and I did not even look because I am a dork).  However, I kind of like the result.  So, June monthly blanket is done......waiting on July.

I got my June Shawl yarn....this is the last shipment for the shawl, so I hope to finish the shawl soon.

For my last item.....I should just insert Whitesnake's Here I Go Again song (I am old).  Let's just say that I cannot say no to Antonio......

I hope yall have a fabulous week....and lots of prayers to you if you are in the path of Beryl

Happy Happy Knitting

Happy Independence Day!

 Hey Everyone....How are you?  I am hanging in there.  Independence Day is in 2 days and I hope you have a good one!

My week has been fairly uneventful (as usual).  I did baby sit Amira

and my parents came over to see her

Unfortunately Paige got in an accident (she is fine, not her fault...another driver ran a red light).

I ordered some yarn that I thought would go together for the Unicorn Cloud Wrap....Images are so hard to tell when online.

but they dont really go together.....but have no fear....I have some cashmere/alpaca lace yarn that works

I also started to knit the June Yarn onto the Monthly Blanket

Embarrassingly.....that is really all I got.  Have a great week everyone!

Seaming or Lobotomy?

 Hey everyone...how are you?  I am okay I guess.  I got June's blanket yarn.......

and prior to knitting with it, it requires seaming......I am not a fan of seaming....quite frankly, I just might prefer a lobotomy over seaming....but I did it (no lobotomy needed).

Now I just need to pick up stitches on the sides and knit the June portion.

I know this is going to be hard to believe.....but that is really all the knitting I have done.  However, I have some pics to share.

First, I stole a pic from Paige's instagram....the family was out an about meeting friends.....

I baby sat Amira this past week....and someone is super protective

Jackson got a new baby (he gets a new one every couple of weeks because his sister is not always nice to his babies)....and it never ceases to amaze me how much he loves them

I have re-arranged a few things in my office/yarn room......and I have two coworkers sleeping on the job....LOL!

That is pretty much all I have......it is super hot here in Texas so stay cool!!!  Have a great week!

Almost half way!

 Hey everyone....can yall believe we are almost 1/2 way done with 2024??!!

I haven't done as much knitting as I would like....but this is the story of my life most days.

My newest granddaughter is already over 1 month old

Paige needed a new microwave installed over her stove, so I went to help Kody do it.

Kody celebrated a fabulous First Father's Day yesterday (he has always been a fabulous step dad to Antonio, but now he also has Amira)

I ordered some more stitch stoppers from Elizabeth

I had a work event I had to attend so I actually got dressed to leave the house and a new Hydroflak Cup I got for Lupe matched me perfectly

I do not know how quickly Cicada's hatch...but I went to a 5:30 am workout one morning (Meaning my tires had been spinning at least 45 mph, probably more) and later that morning I went to take the trash out and saw a cicada hatching on my tire.....I was a bit shocked.

Lastly I have had some really amazing meals lately....I should probably cut back on my deserts (and I wonder why I gain weight....LOL)!  The first is an HEB pre made meal I just had to pop in oven with a Crumbl Toffee Cake/Cookie.  The 2nd is a door dash order (cortesy of a vendor at work for a work luncnh meeting) from Carrabba's Italian Grill....complete with Tiramisu.

Lastly....my knitting......I AM ALL CAUGHT UP ON THE 2024 CLUBS!  I finished May Blanket and May Shawl.  June Blanket shipped already and should be here tomorrow and June Shawl (last shippment) will ship around the 25th.

That is all I have!

Have a great week!  I have one AI generated yarn porn pic I snagged from the internet....AI is everywhere....I will never know what is real again....LOL!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!
