Plethora of Vacation Pictures

Hi everyone....I am back from Vacation.....did ya miss me?  I wish I was still on vacation, getting up for work was super hard this morning!  Well, let me jump into my knitting and then give you picture overkill from my vacation!



While on the cruise, I worked on my Rugged Coat and my "Cruise Project" which is a Free Your Fade made with the cruise kit yarn and done in the cruise project schematic....I wanted to be able to say that I knitted on it while on the cruise  :)

That was all I worked on while on the cruise...but I took several other things.

I have a pair of fingerless mitts I am testing the pattern on.....I started this before the cruise, but never worked on it during the cruise...I only have the ribbing done on one mitt.

I also got caught up with my temperature blanket this past weekend after the cruise and started some Christmas knitting.

Darlene and I did a short podcast and I added a bunch of pictures to the end of that if you want to see it, it is here.

Now for Picture Overload!  Enjoy!

 I came home to the most beautiful flowers from my parents welcoming me home....they came over daily to hang out with Precious!

That is all....Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Happy Birthday George Washington!!!

It is President's Day and George Washington would be 286 (or something like that) now.....he was born in the Gregorian calendar and I am not sure how it all works....but Happy Birthday!

I am thrilled because I have off today...and I love a day off.  I took Friday of last week off too so I could have a 4 day weekend.  I have enjoyed it, but unfortunately it is almost over....I have to go to work tomorrow.

So what have I been up to?  Well, believe it or not, this lazy lady did some organizing/cleaning.  I got some toy boxes for Antonio and some storage bins and did some rearranging and cleaning here and there....my feet were killing me yesterday but they are a bit better today....I will continue with some cleaning here and there.

Here is one of the new toy boxes

I finished my sister's ranger cardigan!  First, I had her try it on last Monday when I saw her...I was still working on the button bands.

I also finished my MKAL LoveFool socks....I did get the middle cables wrong, but I still love them

I worked on my temperature blanket and got caught up....I do not think I ever showed my color card that Darlene made us......here are the colors and temps:

Lastly, I worked on my Portage...I am loving this yarn!  It is so wonderful to work with.....I would love to have this done in time for the cruise.

Speaking of the cruise, I got my yarn kit with bag yesterday......I love it!!

And my mommy and daddy got me prescription sunglasses for the cruise for my birthday present

Well, that is all I have....Have a great week!!!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!
