Some yarn yummies

 Hey everyone....how are you?  I am hanging in there.....I really wanted to update my blog every Monday, but it appears I am slacking.....here we are on Thursday.  Oh well.

I finished the shawl for Darlene and sent her both her lap blanket and her shawl for her Birthday.  Happy Birthday Darlene!

I got my January Blanket yarn for the Blanket Club with Jimmy Beans Wool, and I finished knitting the 4 squares for this month (Herbarium Knit Blanket).  This is a new blanket yarn by Madeline Tosh exclusive to this blanket club.  It is called Tosh Blanket and is 100% merino.  It has an amazing "Squish"!

I also got some Emmas Yarn Hella Hank in the Wish you were Beer color, and some new yarn that Jimmy Beans Wool is going to carry.  It is their yarn citizen brand it is a Lace weight yarn with 49% alpaca, 39% Bombyx, and 12% Cashmere goat....with 247 yards per 25 grams.

That is really all I have.....I know, I need to have more.....so sorry.  I do have some word of encouragment.....I got the Competition one from my realtor (and knitting) friend, Melissa Rogge......these are great words that could benefit everyone I think.

Have a great Week!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

I'm Late......so sorry!

I'm so late posting...so sorry.  But that means I had a great long weekend.  I took off Friday and Tuesday...for a 5 day weekend!  What did I do?

Well, Jaime and I went to Bandera with the RV

I decided to start a new blanket for Grace..these are her school colors, but I think I am going to frog it.  The pattern is Cactus Garden and I am afraid the patterning will make this blanket look, like a spiderman blanket because it will looks like webs or something...so I will hunt down a different pattern.

Since Jaime towed the Jeep, he took me to the two yarn stores in town.....both were very nice and pleasant....I bought some stitch markers from Lavendar and Sage...she was so sweet, and in the bag she bagged my stitch markers in, was a card with a stitch marker and two buttons.....soooo nice of her!

While I was in Bandera, my DIL was in the 2019 Alamo Showdown classic.  She was in the amateur division for bikini, figure, athletic, physique & Bodybuilding (I think).  She won 2nd place in Novice and 4th place in Open (I honestly have no clue what that means).....I am so proud of her!

When I got home.....I had a new dog in my house.  I told you how Kayta comes to visit...well, now I had a new puppy in my house.  I was on the phone with my mom and she heard the little puppy bark and she said "who is that" and I said, "oh, there was a puppy in my house when I got home." and she laughed so hard.....OMG...only I can come home to a new dog in my house.  It left a few hours later....probably a neighbors dog that came thru a hole in the fence.

Antonio and I went to Darlene's house to hang out on Monday....Here is Antonio playing with Betty (he made a face right before I snapped the pic).

While I am talking about dogs....Here is a pic of Bizz's two great danes...they are super cute!

Antonio is back in Soccer...I took him to practice last night....dang this boy has some flashy gear

Now for the knitting......I worked mostly on a secret test knit I cannot show....but I did block my torbellino and try it on....it is a little wide at the neck...

I ordered some yarn to make a Good Vibes Throw......

I also ordered some yarn to crochet a blanket for my new personal trainer's to be born in December baby.  I went to Paige's gym yesterday and signed up....Yes, I know I have access to a free gym at work, but I do not know what I am doing....so I need his help.  His name is Nathan and he owns Move.Fit.Live and he and his wife are expecting their first child (a girl to be named Sophia) in December.

I am going to use the Red Heart Amore yarn in light pink, white and hot pink.  I do not have the yarn yet....but here are the colors.

So as you can see I am continuing with my exercising and working out....I hope I see some results soon.....that is all I have for the week....and again, sorry I was late!

Have a great week!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!
