Some Yarn Therapy

 Hey everyone, how are you?  I have been okay and I have had a little bit of yarn therapy lately.  My favorite DK yarn with some nylon in it.   I got 2 skeins of Later, Gator; 2 skeins of Yellow Submarine; 2 skeins of Limoncello; 1 skein After Dark; 1 skein Oh My Gourd








My dogs have been messing with my fence.....when I put the fence up, I left the old fence as not to deal with sharing neighbors.....big mistake because rodents (rats, skunk, squirrel, etc) are gettting between the two fences and driving my dogs insane.




So, my BIL came over to help me fix a few areas...plus replace several of the planks at the bottom of the fence.








I watched my daughter's dogs while she took Jackson to the lakehouse.  Jackson does not like Paige's huge Great Dane, Texas.




It was a long week, so.....WINE



I also tried to make the protien bagels.....made with greek yogurt and gluten free bread flour.  They did not come out as good as I thought they would, but I tried





I finished knitting my Monthly Shawl....but still have some ends to weave in and blocking.


Well, that is all I have......I hope yall have a fabulous week!!



Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

More Socks


 Hey everyone....how are you?  I am okay.  I have been fairly sore lately....I am working out the same amount I always do, so I dont know if it is just my trainer giving me harder stuff or what.....but soreness has been a real struggle lately and it has been affecting my knitting mojo.


I did finish some more DK weight socks...I started these for Kody a while back...but I just finished them


I think Amira is going through a growth spurt because she has been sleeping a lot lately....at least for me, she might be keeping mom and dad up....when she stays up till 2 am, mom and dad say she is "closing down the club"....LOL!





I recently got a pop up memory from 11 years ago....Look at Big Brother 11 year ago!


I also attempted another meal that Paige posted on Instagram, but this time I forgot to get a screen shot of hers....it is a cream cheese, avocado, and boiled egg mixture on top of a bagel with red pepper chili flakes...I used only the egg whites of my boiled eggs and I will definitely be making this again



I got my yarn for my July Blanket club....no more shawl club since it was just 6 months, but I still need to finish my shawl



My sister's birthday was this past Sunday and we went to my parent's house for dinner....my sister snapped this pick (we did not intentionally exclude big brother, he was in the restroom).


That is really all I have.....I hope you have a great week!

My below parting picture is from a book I recently finished listening too.....it was pretty great.  It is Chaos by Luna Mason


Happy Happy Happy Knitting
