Some Cooler Mornings :)

 Hello everyone!  I hope you are all doing well.  Here in SA, we have had a few mornings that were nice and cooler than usual.  Cool enough that I opened my windows in the morning, even if only for an hour or 2.  The afternoons are still pretty hot, but I will take the cooler mornings for now.

I got an amazing package from my Fiber Fairy.  The yarn is amazing and I am already using the Bucks Needle point protectors.  Thank you Fiber Fairy!

My sister is a grandma!  Yahoo.  Sean and Leilani asked us not to put anything out on social media....and while I am not sure if a blog is considered 'social media', I will put just this one non identifiying pic.  Congrats to my sister and Jim!   Welcome Jonah Shea Flynn!

Lupe and I have not really done many walks/hikes or other events since he started working....which is fine, but he wanted to do something.  So, we both took part of the day off on Friday and we went bowling.  I won the first game (barely) but he won the next 2.

Then we went on a walk/hike on Saturday

He also wanted to go see his mon's final resting place.  He had not had a chance to go since the funeral, so we went.

I also got some great pics of Amira at the zoo....she enjoyed it!

As far as knitting/crocheting.  I finally got the first 2 patterns to do the test knit for Brigit's Annual Advent Stole.  I have only done the first 2 patterns, but they can be time consuming.....but they are secret so I cannot show you....but I can show you the yarn and beads I am using.

Then, I worked on more squares for Antonio's AI blanket....these go slow for me, so while I know it does not look like a lot.....they took me forever.  You can also probably see that on one of the squares I forgot to put a checkmark on my paper of random numbers and I made one square twice.  Oh well.

Lastly, I started a sweater for Lupe's friend's daughter.  Her name is Vera and when we went to their Air bnb a while back, she saw me knitting on a sweater and asked me for one in purple.  This is the only purple I have.  The pattern is called Monday Sweater Junior and the yarn is Miss Babs Yowza in the Batton Twirl colorway.

Antonio is going to be 14 this coming Thursday....I cannot wait to go see him and tell him Happy Birthday.  I am getting his cash (his request) so he can go thrifting/shopping.

I hope yall have a great week!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!
