Merry Knitmas!!

 Hey everyone!  Merry Knitmas! Do you have all your knitting for Christmas completed?

Well, I do not.....I have been making my ornaments and I took one to Ped this past Friday.

He sent me a pic of it on his tree!

And here are some words of wisdom from Sam's kids (she usually sees Ped before me) on Ped's board

I finished the 2nd hat which is for Lupe

Then, Lupe went to get his hair cut this past week and his barber's son had his 8th birthday yesterday so he texted me and asked if I could make him a hat.....so viola!

But I am behind on my ornaments for the neighbors...I am about 1 1/4 behind.

I am also behind on my advents (except my tea one)...I need to knit the 17th and forward on my London Wrap, and I am still only through day 6 on my Grayscale Pop.

I have been making some cookies this week....I guess I had a sweet tooth but it sure would be nice if they made recipes for just 2 cookies....LOL!

Elizabeth had our knitting girls christmas party this past Sunday.....her new home is just gorgeous and it was great seeing all my knitting friends.

I got lots of amazing gifts from friends

and my fiber fairy was Melissa and she got me the most amazing hand made Longhorn mug

I also got a fabulous picture of Mia

and here are my babies taking a nap (on my bed....don't tell Lupe....LOL!)

and Lupe got a surprise gift from Coca Cola

Lastly.....I can finally show you my advent stole that I test knit......it is gorgeous and already in Darlene's hands....thankfully, she loves it and all the items I knit for her.

Well, that is all I have.....I hope you have a fabulous Christmas!!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Just hear those sleigh bells ringing......

 Yes ladies and gentlemen.....it is getting to be that time of year.  I am sorry I did not post last week, I was trying to hunker down with all my Christmas knitting.  I think this year I might have actually bit off more than I can chew.....Yikes!

I just finished Darlene's present.....but it needs to be blocked and buttons added.

and I not only have the amazing advent tea calendar from Darlene, she made me an amazing Wallaby!  I. must say....it looks amazing on me!

Here are some Christmassy stitch stoppers I got, along with some doggy ones.

My knitting friends and I had our Christmast party yesterday at Elizabeth's house....It was fabulous!

I gave some presents and also got some amazing presents.....the last picture has a blue yarn ball....it is a tape measure....how cute, right?  And an amazing wristlet with card holder and some cute pens and yummy goodies!  I have amazing friends!

Well, I know this is short, but I gotta get to my niece's cardigan along with some knitted ornaments.....Have a great week everyone!!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Where has the time gone!?! Merry Christmas!

 I feel like the whole theme this year has been "what happened to the time?"  I have been so behind all year on getting posts done in time and just getting stuff done in general.  Hopefully next year will be better!

This post is going to be super quick because I really need to be knitting on Christmas presents!

First....thanksgiving was great....here is some of my amazing family!

Second....I made a headband that is the SQUISHYIST headband ever!

I started a hat for me with some amazing colors...but this hat has since been put on the back burner.

I ordered an advent kit because I do not have a present to make for Darlene for her Birthday in January.  I thought I could keep up with this...but I am fearful this blanket will not be big enough....which is sad because it is pretty much equal to 5 skeins of yarn (and costs a lot).....the 2nd picture is up to the 11th day.  I still have 1 more days...but I am not sure if this blanket will be big enough....we will see!

I finished my November blanket of the month and now I just wait on December's to arrive.

My great friend, Jennifer, got me this note pad...I love it!  It is perfect for me (and her)!

Then it was time to make the annual ornamnt exchange ornament!  I made a gnome with this kit I got last year...the gnome on the right is the one I used in the exchange.  The ornament in the 3rd image I saved for me.

Here we are at the Christmas party!  Great friends, food and fun!

Then I needed to whip out a hat as a gift for Lupe's Dad (his birthday)....

Here is my decorated tree with my first cup of tea from my advent calendar Darlene gets me every year, and Jackson in the beautiful fall leaves....plus an amazing gift from my friend, Elizabeth.  I got a great David and Harney gift from Jennifer, but alas, I have already eaten it before I got a picture!  What can I say...I am a fatty!

Merry Merry Christmas!  And Happy New Year!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting
