Freezing March

Well, March welcomed some super cold weather.....I thought for sure we would not longer have any freezes because I was already seeing small buds on trees around the city....but we froze last night and I am freezing today!  However, this coming Saturday is supposed to be in the 80's...talk about being from low to high....That's Texas for ya!

I was sick most of the week last week....but I did do a little crocheting and knitting while I was not feeling like crap.......first, I have some stash enhancements....I saw some yarn on FB and I had to get it.....I got it from Slovakia...I have no clue what I am going to make with it...maybe some large granny squares......but I just thought it was beautiful!  I found out later that there is an etsy shop for this store.

I also ordered yarn for Paige....she watched the podcast that we did a little over a week ago and she fell in love with Peyton's Wallaby.....and she wants one in grey.  So I showed her two grey colors, smoke and charcoal:

Her answer?  Both......so looks like 2 wallaby's might be in my future....we will see....right now it is time to focus on Graces sweater.....I have less than 3 weeks to get this done and it is not very far.

This past week, all I worked on was a blanket and March's Hat

I ran out of yarn on the blanket....I need to go to Joann's and see if they have these colors.

Here is the start of the Hat....it is the 1898 hat.

That is really all I have....and the next few weeks might be boring as all I plan to work on is Grace's cardigan.....I will finish the March hat and blanket, but then it is cardigan, cardigan, cardigan, cardigan!

It was Jacob's 25th birthday this past Friday.....we had a great dinner at Jaime's mom's house.

Jacob with his gf, Angelica:

I also had the dogs this past Saturday:

and Antonio has been getting better at riding his bicycle!

and Lastly, I have some pictures of the new grandbaby, Liam....I think Cat and Celeste love their new brother!

Did you know that Larry Bird (famous basketball player in his day) knits?

Have a great week!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Not a good sign on a Monday!

Hi everyone....how are you?  I am blah......it is not a good sign when you forget your coffee on a Monday morning.  Then when going to the break room at work to make coffee in my awesome French press cup from Darlene, I had to go back to the break room a 2nd time for sugar and then forgot creamer....I tell you, I do not function well without coffee.

But my coffee is now brewing and some earl grey tea too!

I got a picture of Paige wearing her hat finished hat

She leaves to Atlanta tomorrow with Bizz.....so I worked on Bizz's hat too:

 

 

 And finished!

 

Darlene and I are going to make a couple of Football Hats...maybe for the April Scrappy Hat KAL....so we ordered yarn and pom poms from Jimmy Beans Wool.......and it all came in!

 



We also joined the Jimmy Beans Wool Jan-Mar Crochet Club where we are making a pouf......we got our kits Friday

I had a K hook at home

And got started

I got maybe 1/2 way done with the first clue.

I was not able to work on my pouf all weekend because Jaime's nephew's wife is due one week from today.....yikes....so I need to get a baby blanket done for her.....

 

I am only about 1/4 of the way done....but this is what I will pretty much be crocheting on all week:



Well, I think that is it.....Paige leaves to Atlanta tomorrow so I will have my  hands full with Antonio and Paige's 2 dogs.....so not sure how much I will have to post next week.....we will see.

Have a great week everyone!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!
