Sooooooooo much going on!

 Hey everyone....I have lots to post in this.  I know I am a couple of days late, but I have lots of content!

First, Happy Belated Memorial Day to all.  I am sorry if you lost someone in service to us, and I am thankful for them serving our country!!

Okay, now for the Harlow Flip Challenge.  For those of you who do not know, Andrea Mowry usually does a Memorial Day event where you try to finish a certain hat pattern of hers over the long weekend.  This time it was last Thursday to this past Monday at noon EST.  Well, I made THREE!!!  I forgot how much I love doing Brioche!  I will probably be pulling out my brioche blanket soon!

Here was the plan

Hat 1

Hat 2

and maybe hat 3

Well, I made them all.

I did not get any "in progress pics of number 2....I guess I was too focused....LOL!

Now number 3

All 3 together

I am pretty freaking proud of myself.  I do have to say that none of this would have been possible if Lupe was not doing EVERYTHING else.  He made food, fed it to me, cleaned the house, picked the movies to watch to get my knitting faster.....everything!  So thank you baby!!

We had negleted our walks, so when the "competition" was over, we went on a walk but it had rained the day before.....so, we did not get very far...but we got in a little over 2 miles.

What did I do before and after this little challenge you ask......

I worked on Teemant

Also, Darlene is starting a MASSIVE lace project and I thought maybe I would knit it with her.  However, I did not have enough of one yarn to make it (It needs like 2,800 yards), so I have 1600 yards fingering and 1600 yards lace of the same Crystal White Pearl yarn.....so I thought I would do the inside square with fingering and the outside part with lace.  However, my yarn was a mess, so I had to hand wind

I cast on a monsterous 259 stitches provisionally

But I am just not as into lace as much as Darlene, so I am not sure this project is going to go much further.....we will see.

Lastly, I crocheted on this blanket for Stars's son...the colors are blown out...but it has been fun.  I might have to get more yarn for this one.  

Also, Lupe took me to Joann's for the 70% off to see what all was left.  We did not get much, but I got this

I also ordered some mystery skein packs from Chelsea Yarns.....I have been nervous about the colors I was going to get......but I am thrilled with the colors I got!!!

Oh, and remember the last Good Vibes throw I made in light pink?  Well, Casey Campbell was born.  And she is already using her blanket...this makes me sooooo happy!!

That is all I have this week......here is my Dog Highlight....FLOWER!  I hope this picture makes you smile even a 10th as much as it does me!

Have a great week!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!
