Knitting Retreat Lakehouse Edition!

 Hey Everyone!  Sorry I am late with posting this week, but I had an amazing time at the Lakehouse and I just did not want to get on the computer.....LOL!

While I went to the Lakehouse with my knitting girls, Lupe went to Bastrop to hang out with his bestie (more like a brother), Brent and Brent's family, so I have some pics from there too!


First, the yarny things:  I got new yarn!  No big revelation there.  I got a laceweight I have never used before.  Hedgehog Fibers Merino Lace.  I think you all know I am engaged to marry the love of my life.  We do not have a date, but we know we want to do it early next year.  So, I decided I wanted to knit a wedding shawl.  The Wedding Peacock Shawl like Darlene knit for Shyla so many years ago.  I could not decide if I wanted White or Graphite.....so I ordered both and started both.  The graphite looks a little purple in some pictures and while it has purpleish undertones, it is really more dark grey,






I have a pretty strict timeline to get this done in 3 months, so there is no way I could do both.  Well, my amazing best friend, Darlene, offered to knit one for me.  I am going to take the white one to her today!  So I will make the graphite one and she will make the Pure one.  She is so amazing!


While at the lakehouse I worked on one thing.....Antonio's blanket!

After:




I know I got a ton done, but I just thought I would get more done.....so this means I need to get my tail end in gear to get this done in 23 days!


Paige also sent me a reel in Instagram on a Sophie Hood she wants, so I picked up the yarn





Before the Lakehouse, I got my nails and toes done....happy florescent yellow!



While I was gone, Paige took the kiddos to the Zoo.....aren't they adorable?





Here are pics of Lupe at Bastrop.  They saw two eagles and the eagles nest... I got the nest only on video which for some reason I cannot load here, but it is huge.  





When we got home, Lupe took me to get a new v5 Oura Ring.  I LOVE it.


And he and I got matching On Cloud shoes....I have been wanting to get a pair of these for a long time!!  he spoils me so much!  



That is really all I have.  Here are my photos from the Lakehouse








Have a great week everyone!





Happy Happy Happy Knitting!
