Hey everyone.....how can it already be June? I am not sure either.
I am going to start this post with another boquet of gorgeous flowers Lupe got me....he really does spoil me! There were taken on different days so you can see ow much they opened up.
Paige and Kody must have had plans this past Saturday night because Bizz posted this adorable picture
I commented on it and she sent me the aftermath
This girl is going to be independent!
Okay, now for knitting. I purchased the new knit nation magazine to see if I would like it. I have to give lots of credit to the creator and editors and all imvloved in this magazine. It is a great concept and for 24 pages, it is packed with lots of fun, information and even patterns. However, I forgot how bulky a newspaper can be, and even if I did fall in love with one of the patterns, I do not see me knitting from this large newspaper. I would probably take pics and then print them to make them more managable. This is probably not what this company had in minde when creating this newspaper. All in all, it is pretty much just not for me. The shipping also takes forever and I fear I am additcted to Amazon's "We will have it there between 5 and 10 pm tonight" services.....LOL!
As far as actual knitting.....I finised the teement shawl. I finished in one month, but needed an extra day for blocking!
I also finished the 2nd blanket for my friend, Star's son, Thomas.
These two will go in the mail today!
I also decided I need to clean out some wips.....yup, I know I say this all the time. I am hoping this year is my year.....LOL!
I frogged 2 items, and counted my wips. One just needs to be blocked, so going in water today. I have 21 wips (hey, that is prett good considering I think I had 40 at one time). 12 of those are blankets.....clearly, I love blankets but they take me FOREVER to finish. So, I am pulling out one blanket wip, one shawl wip, and starting a new cast on for my sister. We will be going to lakehouse for retreat the weekend before her 55th birthday, so I want to make her the Ledburg cardigan. I made myself one in 2021.
So.....here is to hoping my new system is going to work....LOL!
Lastly, a picture of my baby girl...I love when she smiles while she sleeps!
Have a great week everyone.
Happy Happy Happy knitting!
