I am loving Spring!

 Hey everyone!  I hope you are loving the Spring weather (and flowers) as much as me.  I am going to jump right in.

I do not have much.....but I have 2 fo's.

The blanket for Casey and its million (okay, 102) ends!

and the 2nd hat for Lana (it's called Jupiter Beanie)

I have been doing a fitness challenge and I won a random drawing.....$10 Starbucks card!

I also got in the rope yarn I wanted to make Amira a basket.  I ordered a board for Amira and Antonio (I have other rope yarn for Antonio).

But it is not coming along as I expected.

I got some other rope yarn to play with and see what I like best...but trial and error is not my favorite thing to do.

I honestly do not have anymore....I am sorry for a short post.  I hope to have more next week.

Have a great week!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

An Exciting New Project to Cast On!!

 Hey Everyone!  I hope you are well.  If you follow me on Social Media (I rarely post there), you know I got an exciting text from my niece.....Grace!

So you know what that means!  More Yarn and a New Project.

Here is the yarn and pattern she picked.  Purl Soho has not shipped yet, but they had a big 25% off all yarn sale, so they said they are swamped.  Hopefully it ships soon!

I should be getting the yarn I ordered for a hat for Amira today, so I am hoping to get that hat started and finished quickly.  I think we only have one more cold snap on the way.  Look how cute she was in last Friday's outfit!

I got an OBSCENE amount of gifts all week from Lupe....he really does spoil me too much!

He spoils the dogs too.  Purl is only missing because she is snuggled in a bed in the other room during this pic

Paige, Bizz and Sam went to the rodeo two weeks ago and it looks like they had a great time.

As far as knitting and crocheting.  I worked on my Unicorn Wrap, a shell blanket for a baby and the good vibes baby blanket for my cousin's soon to be born grandchild...

That is all I have.....Have a great week (and stay warm)!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Six More Weeks Of.......

 Hey everyone...Groundhog's day was 2 days ago and while I do not know if Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow or not.....how about 6 more weeks of knitting!

I have posted on here a few times about how much Lupe spoils me......here are some more beautiful ballones he got me

Well, now it is time for me to spoil him.  He has wanted a larger TV that is OLED, so I got him a 77" OLED EVO TV.....he loves it !

Of course, I love it too.....I already started (re-watching for the eleventy-billionth time) Harry Potter!

So now that we are officially in February, I can say I finished 6 items (I was at 5 items last blog post)in the month of January.  I finished (sans blocking) my all pink Hugs and Kisses blanket on Friday, the 31st of January!

I have really been in a crocheting mood, so Lupe and I went to Hobby Lobby. He picked out some yarn for a blanket for his soon to be born niece, and I got some yarn for a "spare" baby girl blanket.

So far it is looking great

Also, my cousin's son's wife is having a 3rd baby.  This is the family I have previously made the Good Vibes Throw in a Rouge and Blue.  The 3rd child is a girl, so I started a good vibes (baby size) in light pink.

I also wanted to make Antonio a Granny Square hat.  Here is the start

Do you guys know Ali from Savvy Skeins?  Well, I went to her house to help her with her new CSM....I got 1 measly picture of us setting up....LOL!  But I came home with some Bummer (a pic of dropped stitch) shirts and some boots and spurs!

Now for my biggest pride and joy....2 of my grands....Amira and Tone!  The cutest kids on the planet!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

It's Spring!

 Hello everyone....Happy First Day Of Spring!  I hope all is well with you!

I have been hanging in there....I really do not have much......but let me jump into it.

First, because I have ZERO things to work on (sarcasam at it's finest) and because I love knitting/crocheting the same things as my friends....I am going to start a new blanket.  My friend, Jennifer sent me this pic the other day and I fell in love (it is called the Primavera Blanket...it is on You Tube by Cj Design)....yarn will be here tomorrow:

To get in the Crochet mood....I pulled out this old one for Paige and I did a few rows

Then my son told me aboout a friend who's girlfriend is expecting next week!  So I gotta put the petal to the metal with this one.

I got the sweater to divide for sleeves...

And do you remember that puzzle I was going to get with that Pretty picture "Just a girl who loves yarn"?  Well, I ordered it 3 times and it never made it to me (I think the amazon seller might be doing some sort of fraud)....but I found a canvas on etsy and I LOVE IT!

My work sent me an amazing Edible Arrangement....and it was delicious....thank you!

Lastly, Paige posted a picture of her new space in Tres Del....and I have not been there, but need to get there soon...look how cozy!

That is all I have.....except a few cute pics of the dogs (I swear I love Purl just as much, she just does not come out of the bedroom much to get her pic taken).

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!
