Knitting and Crochet MoJo!

 Hey everyone!  How are you?  I think last week I told you my knitting mojo had been off so I tried to do more corcheting...well, now I think they are both off....my knitting and crochet mojo!  But I am working on trying to bring them back!

I cast on some socks.....and finished them....they are DK weight so they go way faster than fingering weight!

I also worked on the hat I started at the lakehouse

but that is pretty much all I worked on.....but, I did get some pretty yarn in the mail.  The burnt orange will be a sweater (I think) and the varigated yarn will be a hat with socks (I think).

I got an adorable yarn shirt that while I am sure is made for fall and halloween time....but it reminds me of Harry Pottery and yarn

I also went a bit crazy on my sourdough bread journey.  I made a loaf that I think maybe over proofed.

Its pretty 'flat'...but it was still tasty

So I asked my sourdough guru, Tami and she said to feed my starter a few days in a row and gave me the ratio....I did it for 3 days I think.....and it was PERFECT!  I made two new loaves and these were my best loaves of bread EVER....and the tastiest!

Here are some sandwiches (ignore the fat on the right....that was for the dogs....LOL)!

Lupe got me some flowers and my mom gave me some flowers (the red ones are from my mom)

I got the cutest outfit for Amira and took it to her....while I forgot to take pics of the outfit, I did get some pics of Amira (I love this new phone...the pick quality is way better than my old phone)!

Lastly, I am sad that the 49ers lost....but the dogs were playing around while representing (and you can also see how amazing Lupe's peace lily plant is doing).

I hope yall have a fabulous week!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Happy December and first day to open those Adent Calendars!

 Hey everyone....I know, I know...I need to get better about posting here.  I am sorry!  It is already December and I have a TON of pics to share with you.

It is time to open those adent calendars!  I got the David's Tea calendar from Darlene (she gets it for me every year because she is amazing)!

Celeste turned 13 (can you believe I am the grandmother of a teenager?) and we went to an Escape room and then Dave and Busters...she went to Colorado with her family, and Yvette (her mother) is expecting again.....my amazing family is growing!

As for knitting, I recently started a Mae sweater for Shyla

I started a musselburgh for Trenton

I started dishcloths for Darlene (she liked the ones from Friendsgiving so much)!

I started a hat just because I loved the pattern (and had just purchsed the yarn).

I have been plugging away at the stained glass blanket (and got my nails done)

I got the last color for the blanket recently (I still need the last ivory color).

I also ordered next year's Monthly Blanket kit!

I bought some yarn for socks......this was all Elizabeth's fault!

I got some yarn from Eat Sleep Knit's Black Friday sale...this is Malabrigo Rios in the Medusa Colorway

I finished one of the hats and the dishcloths

I was not feeling well for Thanksgiving and there were some newborns at Thanksgiving so I stayed home (and sent my parents with the mashed potatoes):

Paige surprised Bizzle with a trip to see the Dallas Cowboys (Bizz's favorite team):

and Paige got me this great wall hanging for my bedroom....I love it!

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

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!
