Hats Hats and More Hats!

 Hey everyone!  How are you??  Can you believe it is 2026!  I hope you had a fabulous New Year!

I have been knitting on lots of hats....but first, I finished the Monday Sweater for Vera...but.....I forgot to take it with me to the New Year celebration at their house, so I need to mail it.

Darlene was making Shlya a Myra hat in black and it was driving her crazy because her stitches were off, so I told her I would finish it.  She mailed it to me and I had to frog a few rows before I could get it to a place where the pattern matched.

I also made a KG Beanie for Darlene for her birthday

and then started an Aspenglow for her.

I also forgot to mention one of my greatest gift from Christmas.....an electric yarn winder and I have put it to use!!!

I also got a Hobonichi (a popular Japanese planner system known for its thin Tomoe River Paper, laying completely flat and other things) in the cousin size.....I really want to try to "journnal" or "plan" or just write down my weekly thoughts.....Let's hope it works...so far I have done it every day (I know, I is only the 6th).

That is all I have knitting/crafting, but Lupe and I went to a restaurant called "Lupe Tortilla" this past Sunday and it was DELICIOUS....probably the best fajitas I have had....super tender and tasty!

Lastly, a pic of my spoiled girl enjoying life!

Have a great week everyone!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

He's Getting Better Each Day!

 Hey everyone.....how are you?  I am doing better because my dad is getting better each day.  My mother is not getting better, but hopefully she will soon (she has anothe dr appointment on Wednesday this week).

So, I finished 2 things!  Yahoo!!

First I have to tell you about some yarn I got.....I got this new Malabrigo Caprino yarn in colorway Sunset and paired it with some Farmers Daughter Oh Dang Mohair I already had.

and started and finished another Myra Hat!

I also finished my Primavera Blanket with border and all!

I worked on one of my February Blanket....yes, I know I am behind!

We had a couple of really bad storms last week....lots of hail and lost power.  Paige's house was without power more than me....and my dogs were totally freaking out, but we made it. 

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

Running on fumes!

 Hi everyone.....how are you?  I have been better.  I know I am 2 weeks out from my last post and I am sorry.  Not only is my dad still in the hospital (yes we are entering week 3), but my mother is now in the hospital as well and I am just running on fumes.

Here is my daddy getting better (slowly)

I had a busted pipe in the yard last week and my iMac broke and is in the shop being fixed so I am having to post this update from my ipad which is super duper hard!

First, my plumbing problems:

Then, Darlene needed help finding her place on a Myra hat she was making Shyla....so I just finished the hat....please note, Darlene knit most of this hat, I merely finished it (but it is in black yarn...and you know what they say about that):

Oh, and Darlene and I are starting a new Myra hat today....Yeah!

Antonio was here this past weekend and he wanted (and I quote), "Waffles with whipped cream and strawberries drizzled with chocolate....boy did I deliver....twice!  LOL!

I was able to finish socks while in hospital:

My Primavera blanket only needs the border....hopefully the border will be done in a day or two and i can check this off as finished.

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

This is me.....but with 3 dogs ;)

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Happy Belated 4th!

Hey ya'll....can you believe it is already July?  Well, I am a couple of days late, but Happy Independence Day!

I had a great week this week...but my tendon at my elbow is killing me and I think it might be the knitting...I might have to force myself to learn continental knitting....and I am a little bummed over it because I am sure my gauge will be different....we will see how it goes.

I finished the dishcloths for Darlene....and I made this super cute scrubbie....Jennifer found the pattern.

So I had to make another scrubbier to match her past dishcloths....

Then, Darlene was supposed to go to Amarillo this week so I made a set for Nina...but she ended up not going, so she is going to mail it to Nina.

Jax hung out with me in my yarn room and brought a pillow...I thought it was so cute, I had to snap a picture. I usually don't have those buckets of cotton out, but I was looking for yarn for Nina....so they are in the picture.

Lastly, I decided toward not he hat for Bizzle...I am loving they way it s coming out....I hope to finish this week.

That is all the knitting I have, but I did get some new workout shirts.....

Have a great week every one!!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!
