New Truck and a New Month!!!!

 Hey Everyone!  How are you?  Can you believe it is already February?  I cannot....but I have great news!  My guy bought a new truck.....I am so proud of him.  This is his first ever purchase from a dealership and it is a beauty! He even let me drive it this past Friday to see Ped.....it was a joy to drive and it is even so somfortable to be a passenger.

Okay....knitting.....I have been wanting to order a "enchanged pages" set from Chelsea Yarns for a while now....so when she posted that she had some extras for January, I jumped on it and I am so thrilled I did.  I have even already ordered February's.

I have been knitting on a very very very old project from..........2017.  There is a blog post here from 2017 when Darlene and I were at the lakehouse and we decided to make double nuvem's.  So that means a nuvem that is like twice as large with 600 grams of yarn instead of 300.  I have had mine on the needles since then and have posted about it several times over the years.  My great friend, Jennifer, even took it one year and finished the first skein of yarn.  So I am officially on my second skein.  Darlene decided to frog hers somewhere along the way and I ended up with both of her skeins of yarn.  

Here we are in 2017 starting them

Anyway, I mentioned to Darlene that I pulled out my Nuvem for some mindless knitting and she mentioned that she wanted to do one too.  So, I have restarted hers and got it to the point where you do not need two needles....I am going to ship it to her today.

Here is mine...I managed to knit about 16 grams on mine this past week.

Lupe bought me some Apple Airpod Max Headphones (because he spoils me) and I ordered him some sour candies......I know I got the better deal here......but he does love his candies.

Well, that is really all I have.....I hope yall have a great week.

Happy Happy Happy Knitting.

National Suicide Prevention Month

 Hey everyone!  How have you been?  I hope all is well.  September is National Suicide Prevention Month....while I feel strongly that every month should be Suicide Prevention Month, I will happily adverise any suicide prevention at any time!  And how cool is it that now you just need to dial 9-8-8 for the suicide prevention line!

So....you all probably know I have a new foster....well, she was selected to go to a partner shelter in the north....here is her Transport application picture....isn't she cute?  I have to drop her off for transport on the 17th of September.

Now, in order to be a foster for Blue, I had to get Jackson neutered.  while I got to bring Blue home before he was neutered, Blue was spayed and Jackson was 'scheduled' for his neuter.  I have been meeting to do this for a few years, and finally got it done.  

He was not happy with is cone

so he broke it and I think he was quite proud of himself 

Here is a picture of him as a puppy 3 1/2 years ago at Paige's when he would sit and eat and today he did the same so I thought a side by side was called for.

Antonio started school

I got to see my baby

and Ped had a party at his house....here is the man that tries to kill me every Sunday, along with Paige, Bizz and Sam

I finished the 2 baby blankets!!!!  Both were gifted on August 27th!

I started working on my  second 1/2 and 1/2 triangles again (no my first one is not done).

I have met my goal of finishing each monthly blanket clue in the month I get the yarn....here is August...finished the 30th!

Paige ordered the wrong size of apple watch band and I got to keep it......it is so soft and I love it!

I used my Kamado Joe Jr again....and really love it!

and that is all I have.....have a great week everyone!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

What a crazy Month!

 Hey everyone......honestly, I am not even sure where to start....the last month has been crazy.

Let me start with some non-knitting.  I found a stray dog.  She is super sweet, but realistically, I cannot keep her.  However, I do not want her euthanized either.  So when ACS finally picked her up (10 days later), they called 3 days later to say she was already on the euthanize list....so I agreed to foster her.

Let me know if you are looking for the perfect pet to complete your family!  Her name is Blue and she is all up to date on her shots and is spayed.

This addition certainly has chaned up my plain world/routine!

I think in last post I mentioned the half and half triangles shawls...well, they have been put on hold, and I had to restart the one with the Linen Quill....I am doing an icord cast on for that one and it was too loose, so I restarted it.

I got a couple stash enhancements....

I also finished July's Blanket portion in July!

I made some socks for Kody's Birthday!

Antonio had a golf tournament he was invited to at Fair Oaks Ranch Golf and Country Club!

George Jetson was born....LOL!

I started a new blanket for Paige

Ive been working on my annual test knit....but as we all know, I can never show that till the end of December.

Paige and Kody have a baby shower to go to on August 27th, so she asked me to make a pom pom blanket for the baby.....gender unknown...I asked her to pick a color and this is what she picked.

My parents had their 54th wedding anniversary yesterday!  

The MAIN think I have been working on (besides test knit) is this HUGE Nuvem baby blanket

That is about all I have....Have a fabulous week....and consider fostering or adopting a dog!  LOL!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!
