I Have Officially Started!

 Howdy Yall!  How are you?  I am well.  I have officially started.......drum roll please.......

Grace's Cardigan.  I casted on and started the ribbing and was going to start the pattern and.......I realized I forgot to knit the first and last 5 stitches (garter)....I had them in ribbing....so I had to rip and restart.....ARGH!!!!  But here it is so far.  It is a little dark because when I had the light on it was totally blown out....Hopefully I will have better pics in the future.

I finished blocking my Sunshine Coast Sweater

My sister invited me to the Shania Twain concert this week, so I think I will wear it there.

I got some yarn to make Gnomes.....the pattern is here.

and the only other thing I did this week was start a christmas present.....this is the boxy cape.  The color is blown out a little....but it is coming along.  I am also using my new progress keeper that I love!

I got some amazing jam and jelly and applesauce from Darlene's daughter, Shyla, it is delicious....She is so talented and good at everything....and she is really good at canning!!  

That is all I have.....Have a great week!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Happy Autumnal Equinox

 Hey Guys!  How are you?  Can you believe it is already officially Fall??

I have finally finished my test knit (sans blocking) and while I still cannot show you the picture, I am hoping that with the test knit completed, I will have more knitting to show in future posts.

I finished my baby blanket (Thank goodness, the shower is this coming weekend).

I ordered some stitch stoppers from Elizabeth at her store, Cozy Sky Co., the yellow ducks are Darlene's, but I have not seen her yet to give them to her.

Do you see a F theme.....I have had a rough month with this yarn for Grace's cardigan and I decided I need to give less f***s!  

I already put 2 on my sunshine coast sweater.

I got yarn for my monthly blankets

Then, on a whim, I wanted to try the new Jimmy Beans Wool Harmony DK yarn (Yarn Citizen)...so I got 2 skeins....Sand and Cinnamon.

It is surprisingly soft...... a sweater's qty for Joji's new Granny Cardigan is on its way in Honeycomb color!

I finally found yarn that I think will work for Grace's sweater.  I was able to buy a few in an Austin yarn shop, and I am awaiting more in the mail.  It will not be the same dyelot, but I will be holding it double so I can hold an old dye lot with a new dye lot.  I even made a swatch to test 'the pattern'

That is all I have....have a great week.

Happy Happy Happy Knitting
