10 days of the same thing.......

10 days of doing the same thing can be good and bad.  10 days of knitting....good!  10 days of moving....not so much!  Okay, so I did not actually move for 10 days straight, but I am still moving stuff and it was about 10 days ago that I posted about the move.  Here is some of the stuff I have to go through in my room and in the garage....and also, the living room is starting to come together....but I keep adding more 'crap' to it.





The living room actually looks completely different since my daughter has put up the christmas tree.  Speaking of my daughter, Paige, she wore a hat I knit her over a year ago......the weather has been cold enough for her to use this hat.


I also finished knitting a pom pom blanket for her as a surprise present for Christmas (no, her sweater is not done yet...but the blanket it).



I am pretty tired of knitting on Paige's sweater and it has gone into a little bit of a time out.....I have been knitting on some socks for a Hiya Hiya KAL and I hope to finish them by the 24th of December (the deadline for the KAL).  A friend of a friend asked me to crochet her a baby santa hat and a baby christmas stocking.  She wants to use it for photography of babies.......Here is what the pattern kind of looks like, but I have been having problems getting it started, I really am not a very good crocheter......




I also had my gift exchange with my knitting bff, Darlene....she got me the most awesome gifts ever!  The Loopy Ewe has these fall giftables that has a special and exclusive hand dyed yarn and she got me the October kit that came with a skein of Wollmeise in Confidence!  It is gorgeous!  It came with a pattern and I cannot wait to cast on!!  She also got me one of the exclusive sets from Little Skein.  This kit came with a skein of yarn, a project bag, a pattern, and set of stitch markers.....the stitch markers (and yarn) match the project bag.......YUP!  It is so perfectly cute!  I cannot wait to make a pair of socks with this awesome yarn.  While I absolutely love all the yarn and knitting paraphernalia, the best part was the card.....it says "A good friend will tell you when you're being silly.  A great friend will join you."  Darlene is a GREAT friend!  Thank you Darlene!




These last 10 days have flown by.....it seems like every day I am just either packing and moving more stuff or I am unpacking and putting things where I think they need to go......I did manage to order one more yarn club.  This is the Miss Babs Knitting Tour 2014.  It is very similar to the Strickmich Club I just joined, but this is the 3rd year (I think) that she is doing this....I really wanted to do it last year, but I just could not swing it financially....so this year I knew I had to do this club.  Thankfully each club mails in different months, so for 8 out of 12 months next year.....I should be getting a package of fun!

I leave you with a fun Knitter's Christmas Picture.....and my favorite picture of Paige and Antonio (that smile melts my heart)  :




Happy Happy Happy Knitting!!!!!

  1. You should have turned those plastic boxes around so you could see the label that says ship to Ruby C on them. That way I would salivate more than I already do over your yarn stash.

  2. Moving during the holidays is hard...which is why I never wanted to do it...but guess what? It appears I'm going to be doing it...

    Love Paige's hat BTW!
