More Blanket Yarn

 Hey everyone......how are you?  I have been in a bit of a funk lately so I do not have much to share.


I did however buy more yarn for yet another baby blanket (seriously, how many blankets do I think this kid is going to need?).


I saw another blanket that I really like....it is in both a knit and crochet version.....they blanket patterns are from Purl Soho.  It is the four points blanket....here is the crochet version and here is the knit version:

This pic is from purl soho website:


Here is the yarn I bought





And I already had some linen quill....here are all 9 colors of linen quill I have....not sure which 4 will make it into the blanket.


It was my late husband's birthday last Friday.  He would have been 59 (wow)!  Happy Heavenly Birthday Mario!



Honestly, that is all I have.....I know, I should have more, but like I said, I have been in a funk.  I hope to get out of it soon.  Have a great week everyone!

Usually I am scrambling for "cute sayings" or "words of wisdom" or "knit related" content to add to the end of each blog post.....but this week, I have a plethora of them:






Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Half and Half and Half!

 Hey guys!  Can you believe we are more than half way done with the year?  WOW!  What have you been up to?


I finished Crocheting and doing the ribbon on BOTH the crocheted baby blanets.....does anyone elses watch think they are doing an eliptical exercise while crocheting?




I have been working on the nuvem baby blanket too...pictured with a new bag from my co-podcaster, Elizabeth...she has a shop here.



We did a new podcast, link here



I finished the shawl I showed you last time...and finished June's color on the monthly blanket




I donated blood and got a cool tshirt....



I have been walking with Jackson along some paths behind my neighborhood...and we see some deer...this deer was very curious about us




speaking of Jackson...here are some cute shot of him.  I dont get as many cute shots of Purl because she is anti social and stays in my room most days....but I did get one of her....sleeping.




I have been catching one or two hummingbirds at the feeder, but I wish I saw more....I guess this takes time



My favorite bose headphones recently died on me....I cried and then ordered some new powerbeats because of a recommendation...I am not sure if I love them yet or not.  




I am still buying too much yarn....but I have plans for (almost) everything...that has to count for something...LOL!

I got this DK Zooey yarn from Juniper Moon Farm. The pink will be Sunshine Coast, and the grey will be Léger Redux.




I got some new Emma's DK yarn....these will be hats or socks.




Okay....now for another part of all the "Half" in my blog titile...not only are we Half way though the year, but I have decided to jump on the Half and Half Triangle train.....this pattern looks like it is right up my alley with lots of garter.  It is knit with Linen Quill....which I 'might' of had a hard time picking my colors so I ordered 19 skeins.




While waiting (not as patiently as most ppl are) on the yarn to arrive, I started one with my Alpaca Boucle I showed you last post....this is the Matchstick colorway and the crystal colorway will be the 2nd triangle....I cant wait to start one with the linen quill!




The Purled in Texas podcast (that I am part of) is also doing a Gifting KAL for Christmas in July.....so I ordered more ornaments to kit covers for.....



Here are pics of my gorgeous children (just because I don't share pics of them enough).



Here are Paige, Tone and Bizz living their fittest life




That is all I have.....have a great week everyone!





Happy Happy Happy Knitting!
