More new things coming up!

Hey everyone! I hope you had a fabulous week! I have been busy. This Thursday evening I leave to the Lakehouse for the Annual Knitting Retreat. I want to work mostly on Antonio's AI blanket. I have been busy making squares. I had to order more pegs for my blocking board and I hope to go to the lakehouse with 260 squares to attach. Wish me luck!

I also started a Wallby with Darlene and Jennifer. I will take this along for mindless knitting. I knit the pouch out of order, I hope it does not get in my way of knitting in the round.

I made it to the halfway point of Dracula...I will not be taking this with me....beads and lakehouse are not a good combo for me.

I have 2 new KAL's starting October 1 in the A Place to KAL My Own group.

and Magnolia.....here is my yarn

I went to Antonio's game this past Thursday, but I will miss this coming Thursday since I am going out of town

Lupe got a new shirt (I am 7 1/2 years older than him, but I am not sure if that makes me a Cougar) and I got 2 new Texas Shirts!

Lupe made us delicious Rib Eye's yesterday while watching football....they were delicious!

and lastly.....my buddy Ziggy is back!

That is all I have.....Have a great week. I will probably not post till Tuesday next week!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

I love falling back!

Happy Monday everyone......did you change your clocks? I think this time change twice a year is crazy....but.....I love it in Fall when we "fall back" and gain an hour.

The health app from my watch/phone tells me how much I love it! LOL!

I think a while back I told you that I found an adorable "Jack" from the nightmare before Christmas outfit for Amira.....well, it is even more adorable on her!

This is the outfit she wore to daycare and then she was Moana for Halloween evening, but Paige forget to get Moana pics.....Also, Antonio was not feeling well from Tuesday evening all the way to Friday....so he did not even go trick or treating.....poor guy....but the good news is he is finally feeling better.

It has also been a bit chilly here in South Texas.....this is me getting ready to walk the dogs the other day

and the house was so cold, I continued to wear the wallaby as I worked

I am not sure if I told you guys that Lupe gets points at work and then he can use those points to get things....well, he got a vacuuming robot....and I have to say....I am pretty impressed with how much it gets on a daily basis.....since it usually just goes around everything, I picked up all the dog beds so it could get to the corner of the living room.....it did very well.

Lupe also bought me a comforter from Coma Inducer.....If you like a big heavy blanket (like I do....but I have no clue why because I almost always sweat at night, but I sleep better with a big blanket)....then check out Coma inducer.....We went with a green and this thing is like 20 lbs.....and super soft and fluffy. Flower is not suppose to be on the bed (except Friday nights when Lupe works late and then the dogs get in bed with me....but clearly she really likes this blanket...I was trying to sneak a pic from the living room but she caught me.

Now for the knitting......anyone else doing the Joji One Love MKAL?

I am......I was looking for a certain yarn and could not find it (surprise, surprise!)....so I used this yarn that Lupe picked....Darlene says it looks like Candy Corn and she is right.

Here is clue 1 completed.

Then I could not stop thinking of the skein I could not find......so I found it....LOL! The colorway is called Carrie and I love it......so here is clue 1 finished with this one too.
