Its Advent Season in April (plus a follow up on Feb 18th's Exciting New Project to Cast On)!!!

 Hey everyone!  How are you?  Well, it is Advent Season.  Meaning, it is time to order the advents that will ship out in November.  Nothing like paying for something 7 months before you get it...LOL!

Did you order any??  I got 2.  Chelsea Yarns and Suburban Stitcher

Some of all that yarn I ordered has started to trickle in.....

(the above colors are ot true...pretty blown out.  Last week's post is better)

This pink yarn came from Amazon......I swatched it..and it is a bit thinner than I thought.  So I ordered a little more so I can hold it double for a baby blanket.

The turquoise yarn I bought last week was for making hats for Lupe's mom for her birthday (the 16th), but we took her to her radiation treatment yesterday and she needs hats now....so first one done

This is the 2nd item finished in April.  I wanted to finish Coley's shawl in March, but it was my first finished object in April (just need to weave in 2 ends)

I started a new crochet blanket

I started the Hap (baby blanket) for the Woolly Thistle KAL (#2025twtshawlkal)

and one more hat for Lupe's mom

I also cranked a blan to make her socks.  However, the yarn pooled

So I recranked a looser, but I think it is too loose. 

I might make these for my mom, and then re-crank the rest of the yarn for Lupe's mom...Im still thinking about it.

The person I am the fiber fairy for got her birthday present.  Plus we had a bit of a cold spell so she has been able to wear it this week.  She knows I am her fiber fairy because I messed up the very first month.....but it is still fun getting her stuff

Well, that is really all I have.  I have been doing a fitness challenge and had to post some meals....so I thought I would share here too....of course, Lupe cooked them (not me).

Oh...I almost forgot....Lupe and I went to a San Antonio FC (football (which is really soccer) club) game.  We had a great time even if we lost.

Man am I forgetful because I almost posted this without updating you on Grace's sweater...She loves it and it looks fabulous on her!!!!

 

Have a great week everyone.  And shout out to Paula H for the funny sheep meme.

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Happy Valentine's Day

 Hey everyone!  How are you?  I am great!  Lupe has been spoiling me all week....and it is not even Valentine's day yet.   

Happy Valentine's Day to you!

Look at all the goodies that Lupe has already given me and it is not Friday yet!

This is some sort of rose in a water globe that I haver never seen before, but I love it.

He also got me some orange roses (fabric) that a coworkers girlfriend made and a Rabbit balloon (he calls me rabbit because I love veggies)

and, he made me the most delicious fideo I have ever had

Then, this past Christmas party with my knitting friends, we decided to fill out forms and pic anonymously a form and then we are that person's "Fiber Fairy".  Well, I have become a complete Fiber Fairy failure.  I sent a package to my person via Amazon and for some reason, by name was on the package along with her name and address....so she immediately knew it was me (I swear I suck sometimes, but I mean well).  Anyway, I tell you all of that to let you know my Fiber Fairy sent me a birthday present.  It is super awesome.  There is tea and tea bags, a pair of socks, lotion, chapstick, and soap.  Thank you Fiber Fairy!

Now for knitting, I finished Antonio's granny square hat

Here he is wearing it

I also finished the blanket for Lupe's soon to be born niece

I started a new "girl" blanket just to have on hand with baby bee Sugarwheel cotton.

And I have been working on my Unicorn Wrap

I also ordered some yarn to make Amira a hat

I have an adorable picture of Amira at Antonio's Golf outing (hitting a bucket of balls....oh, and he made his school's golf team...yeah!):

And Amira with Jaz and Texas <3

My last note is....did you notice that Google maps (not apple maps) has changed the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America?

Okay, have a great week everyone.

Happy Happy Happy Knitting.
