I have the day off, but Lupe had to work....so what have I been up to? Well, do you remember the sock and hat set I am making for Mia? Well, this hat has had me from day one.
I was chugging along and realized a missed part of the pattern repeat
So, I tinked it and got to the hat decreases....I went to go read the pattern and it turns out I was supposed to increase to a much larger size needle for the body of the hat. I did the ribbing in 6 and then went up to 7 for body, but I should have gone up to 10.5....ouch. I ripped an restarted.
I ended up making the same mistake again (missing part of the pattern repeat....but I got through it all finally and then blocked it all. This is for Coley to take home. The green socks are for Coley's best friend, Claire and the blue set is for Mia.
Lupe gets "points" at work and then he can redeem points for merchandise.....so he got us a robot vacuum.....we are both in love. We set it to go off at 10 pm......it does pretty good for a free robot!
Then I decided to finish Lily's blanket and it came out fine with 4 skeins of bulky, so I have enough yarn to make another one of these.
After finishing the crocheting on Lily's blanket I pulled out Antonio's.....I got to putting it together and it looks great. I need to get back on to making more squares....I am gonna try to work on only that all week....we will see how it goes. It is not as mindless as knitting, so I guess it just depends on how busy and brain draining my work week is.
Well, that is about all I have.....I think Paige wants to order a new iPhone 17. I told her I would order it but I had to bribe her to tell her that with the new and amazing camera, she needs to send me more pics of the kiddos.....it got her to send me some more of the kids. Amira is so adorable and Tone is the best big brother ever!!
Lastly, I am not sure if I told you all about the new nail kit I got myself. I am not the best at doing my own nails, but Lupe's friend's wife told me about this kit that you put powder on your nails....I looked into it. It is called Sistaco and there is a whole group of ppl obsessed with this nail kit. I got the basic one, but I have already ordered some accessories that I know will help. You can mix and match different powders for different looks....You can google Sistaco or search it on instagram or facebook....it is really pretty cool. I will probably give away all my gel nail stuff. Here is my first nail. I have since done all my nails but it is super hard to take pics of your own manicure....LOL!
Have a great week.....here is a pic of the hunter's moon and I just love the detail that my camera was able to capture.
Happy Happy Happy Knitting!
