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!

Loving the weather

It is getting cooler and cooler each morning and I am loving the weather.....it means I can pull out some blankets and heavy things to knit on!  I do have a little bit of a sore throat with the cold front, but I hope it goes away.

This past week was a bit of a bust in the knitting department.  I blogged last Tuesday (a day late because of the holiday)...then on Wednesday I got sick....some stomach bug I think, but I was very weak (I think from dehydration) and had fever and chills.  I slept most of Wednesday and the morning of Thursday too...till around noon when I think my fever finally broke.

Then this past Friday/Saturday I had Antonio and Celeste, and yesterday Darlene and I podcasted with a special guest....her granddaughter, Peyton!

So what did I work on?

Well, Paige has a client whose wife had a baby boy....so Paige asked me to make a navy blue hat.

 
 


I worked on Paige's Dishtowels.....and I finished them!  Yahoo!  The kitchen cotton was starting to hut my hands, so I am glad these are done!





I also worked on her pot holder...but I did talk to my friend in Florida that makes these potholders...and while I will finish this one, I am sending yarn to my friend to make more for Paige and paying her....I am just not good at it and I want Paige to have nice potholders:




I worked on my socks....not much, but a little:




Then I worked on my Daddy's Ranger...I started a sleeve:



I had two stash enhancements....some fabulous self striping yarn from Biscotte Yarns...Thank you Louise!




And a Slothmas set that Darlene did with Carie from the Creative Obsession.  These items are available separate, but not as a kit anymore.


I had all the grandkids this past weekend....they wore me out but I love them so much!



Paige got her furniture...and now has a place to sit.


And she is trying to teach her puppy, Jazz, that stairs are not tasty:


That is all I have....stay warm and have a great week!

 
 

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!
