Crazy week!

 Hey everyone.  How are you?  I hope you are all well.  I had a crazy busy week.....mostly because I went to my dad's every day this week.  He was having new floors installed and wanted someone there to make sure it all goes well (and move stuff if needed).  I can say, the floors look amazing.

First on my way to his home the very first day (Monday) I saw this baby eating from mom and mom eating grass.....I just love seeing this!!!

My dogs were not very happy with me leaving every day

Anyone remember that old plastic lenoleum yellow vinyl stick to the floor flooring from the 70's and 80's?  Well here is what it looks like after 30+ years of pergo on top of it....LOL!  Now it will have Luxury Vinyl on top of it for what I am hoping is at least another 30 years.

Here are some other pics

I ordered more cotton yarn for another sweater and it came in.  I also ordered an extra skein of the pink I bought a while back as I was worried the amount I got before was not enough.

I worked another 4 rows on my Morning rain....just 6 more rows and a bind off (and blocking) to go.

and I did one sleeve on my top down pullover and started 2nd sleeve....plus several more rows of the body are done

That is pretty much all I have.  I hope you all have an amazing week!!!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting.

Ankers is Finished and CONGRATS Spurs!

 I finished my Ankers sweater in time for Peyton's Graduation Party!

The only other knitting I did was start this sweater so I have some mindless knitting for vacation.....and Darlene and Bruce gave me a new bag.  It is gorgeous!

Since I am going on Vacation starting Wednesday, Lupe wanted me to get my nails done....I love them!

The SPRUS DID IT!  Western Conference Champs.  Congrats!

Here are my lazy babies

and look at this coke bottle.....special for FIFA World Cup!

There were 2 owls in our backyarn tree this morning

I do have some stash enhancements......mohair, cotton and the embelishment yarn I was tellin you about last week!

That is all I have!  I only took 2 pics at the Graduation Party.....Lupe talking to Casey and Shyla and Lupe!  Have a great week everyone!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Is My New System Working?

 Hey Everyone....How are you?  I am well!  I am not sure if y'all remember in early June (June 3rd) I mentioned I was going to try a new system.  I did some frogging, I did some casting on, and I did some pulling out of old things.  How is it going?  Well, let's see.

I said I was going to work on an old blanket, a new cardigan for my sister and an old shawl from 2023.

Well, I finished the old blanket....the glamping blanket

I did about 15-17 rows on my sister's cardigan (It does not look much bigger, but the cables have been started.

and I did work on the shawl the first week, but not last week....so no change there.  I also started 2 new hats (not part of the new 'system')...but I did finish the two non authorized cast ons....LOL!

So.....is it working?  I think maybe 50/50...LOL!  I will continue to do my best.

I got a pic from my friend, Star, of her grandson using one of the blankets I recently made them.

Now, speaking of non authorized cast ons.....how about non authorized crochet projects (which are not really cast ons...but chain ons??).  I got a message from Antonio with these two pics attached asking if I could make this.

I told him yes of course, but my squares woukd be smaller (if he only wanted the 3 center colors and then black outline), and I had 16 colors....and were there any he wanted me to leave out.  

I also told him I was going to randomly select the colors (no matching, no thinking).  He was like, Okay.  So, I set up all my yarns with this wood board and numbered them 1-16.  The first 2 or so squares I just pulled colors...then I asked Lupe to pick 3 numbers between 1 and 16, then the same of Alexa....then I had the bright idea to have ChatGPT give me 200 sets of 3 random numbers between 1 and 16....so it did.  I have printed out the file it provided (I have to be organized in my randomness....LOL!!!)  and am on my 4th square from the list, but I had about 6 square already...so my 4th square from the list is my 10th square...let's see how it goes.  This is Antonio's Random AI Generated Granny Square Blanket.

Lupe spoiled me with more flowers....I love them!!!

and Paige is at the lakehouse, so I am baby sitting my grand dogs.  For any of you that remember from past years....Jackson does not like Texas (the bit Great Dane)...so Paige takes Jackson to lakehouse (he is way easier than taking Jaz and Texas) and I have Jaz and Texas....Lupe cannot believe how big Texas is....and Texas sure is getting attached to Grandpa Lupe

But do not worry.....Lupe is still spoiling Flower and Purl (I did not get pic of Purl)

and Amira is enjoying laid back Jackson

Well, that is all I have.  I hope y'all have a fabulous week!!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!
