The Eclipse!

 Hey everyone....did you get out and see the Eclipse?  Antonio and I did.....at one point you could even see it without glasses because the cloud cover was enough.

I got yarn for my Zorina Wrap....Sptember Color is Dusk

I did a swatch for the Granny Cardigan

I went to the Shania Twain concert with my sister and 2 of her lakehouse friends.

I got some new pj bottoms.....

I got an amazing package from my friend, Brigit, in the Netherlands

My sister with her family (sans Grace) and some friends at the Red River Rivalry

Lastly.......the Grace Cardigan Update

I found a new tea place......if you like tea, check them out.....Tea By Bre!  Her presentation is so amazing.....you will not be disappointed!

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

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Welcome October!

 Hello everyone!  I hope you all have been well!  I am welcoming October since the temperatures are starting to slowy go down....yeah!

I finished my sunshine coast sweater (please excuse my very messy bathroom)!

I got some new yarn to start the new Granny Cardigan by Joji....Darlene wants to make this, so of course I said "Yes"!

I got my toes done last week with a gift card from my daddy at his country club (not the place I ususally go to, but it was nice and fancy)...and loved it so much, I went to my regular place (as I cannot afford the country club on a regular basis....LOL) and I could not exactly match the polish, but I am in love with the brighter fingernail color (I love looking at the neon orange on my fingers as I knit)!!

I got all the yarn for Grace's sweater and I have been swatching away!  I hope to start the actual sweater this week!

My nephew and his girlfriend were videoed at the Longhorn game this past weekend and shown on the Texas Longhorn X (formerly twitter) account......so much fun for them in their senior year at University of Texas!

Well, that is all I have this week.....I hope yall have a great week!

 (I wish I knew where I could buy these desk lamps)!

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
