Hey everyone....can you believe it is already March? Lupe has been continuing to spoil me for my Birthday. He ordered me a new yarn winder (the one I got for Christmas crapped out):
I worked on my test knit
and I decided I was going to join Andrea Mowry's March 2 May KAL
I'm going to make Briochealicious with these colors:
It started this past Sunday and I barely got the first garter section done. I am on row 1 of the first brioche section.
I also saw a reallyb cool blanket on FB......so Lupe bought me the yarn
Then I started it
but I was not "in love" and though the white was overpowering the color....so I did a swatch to switch the colors:
I like it this way better. Here is a top to bottom comparison...but I have frogged and will restart with the color in place of white (the one on top in pic below).
Lupe took me to get my pearls I had dropped off earlier in February and they are gorgeous
On my actual birthday I got lots of well wishes....two big highlights are messages from my tante from Germany and my son.
and Kody sent me a pic of her on a play date with her cousin
I got a free cookie from Crumbl
I curled my hair
and I wore my daisy lenses
and got my nails and toes done....this is my 2nd iced coffee because the first completely spilled.
Lupe made the most delicious (and pricey) steaks
I ordered some yarn to make a blanket for Lupe's greak newphew, but when it got here....it was more pink than its colorway "crimson"
So Lupe and I drove to 4 different Michael's locations to find "red" yarn
Lupe organized getting his siblings together to get a picture....they all made it but 2 (1 brother and 1 sister)......He had such a great time, and he was able to drive them all in his new truck.
Lastly....I also knit on my pullover sweater
I leave you with pics of my beautiful babies (I promise I love purl just as much, she just sleeps under blankets so I never get great pics of her)!
Have a great week!
Happy Happy Happy Knitting!
