Fall is almost here!

Fall is supposed to be here in 3 days (Sept 22nd) but it sure does not feel like it to me!  It has been HOT here in TX!  Jaime and I went on a small Motorcyle Ride and it was perfect because we got home before it was too hot....I wore my new Motorcycle leggings with motorcycle boots and got lots of compliments!

It may not feel like fall yet, but I did get some very Fallish yarn.  I got my package from the Miss Babs Knitting Tour.  One other member described this as "If Autumn and Yarn had a Baby it would be this color!" and I completely agree!!  We are going to China for the tour and this is called Silk Road!

The tour package comes with a fabulous hat and fingerless mitts pattern, but I am not 100% sure I will make those with this yarn.

I also got some more HiyaHiya Needles for hostessing KAL's for them.  Next time I am going to try some non SHARP needles and see if they are nicer to my figertips....LOL!

I had a pretty busy week, so I did not really get in as much knitting as I wanted to (but I guess I never do)....this past Friday I did not even knit one stitch!  GASP....that is unheard of for me....but for lunch I had to go to my boss' baby shower and then I picked up Antonio and I had issues with the water heater...it was just and exhausting day and I did not knit at all.....oh well.

So this week I knit a bit more on the Black sweater.  I am going to only knit on this at work during my lunch hour...so you may not see too many more pictures in the future, but know I am still plugging away at it!

I did get a little more on that motorcycle hat...I have about a week and a day to finish this...Yikes!  But you can barely start to see the bottom of the Harley Logo!

Then I started Celestarium.....I waited and waited and waited on starting this and I just could not wait anymore!  I love it so far!  I was a little worried that the North Star was too big....but I think when the whole shawl is done (and huge) it will look fabulous!

Gosh....can you believe that is all the knitting I did?  I am behind on just about everything...so I am going to try to focus on the Motorcycle hat, my September Socks, and the Black sweater this week.....we will see how it goes!

I did have Antonio this past weekend and we took Precious to the groomer.....he thought she looked so 'handsome' when she was done (I call Antonio my Handsome Man)!  Plus, this is the most calm Precious has ever been in the car...so it worked out perfectly!

My dad got Antonio his very own set of lefty clubs....Antonio has not seen them yet and he will be super excited when he does!  I will take him to play with them this coming Saturday when I have Antonio again!

That is really all I have this week......I saw some really cute knitting shirts where I wish I was rich so I could buy them all...but I guess I will have to be okay with just pictures of them....LOL!

Have a great week everyone!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!!!!!

Exciting Stash Enhancements with a Hedgehog score!

Hi Guys and Gals....I am so excited about my stash enhancements, I am going to jump right in!

I have been on a bit of a leggings kick!  I got some new leggings with knit stitches on them and one pair with motorcycles on them....I just love all these leggings (and might have a pair with old time cars on the way)!!!

Then I scored some Hedgehog Yarn....I see this yarn all the time and have never used it....I got Film Noir and Bramble....I love them BOTH, but I love the Film Noir so much, I ordered one more skein.

Film Noir

 Bramble

I hit the Venus pack with this purchase....and Antonio loved the highlighter part so much, he took it. :)

I also got my FREE skein of yarn from Desert Vista Dyeworks....this is for finishing 6 months of the socks each month.  It is called Zombody's Late from Alice in Wonderland.

I also got a package from Dyakcraft...I ordered random colored 3.5" needles to make a multi colored small needle set......These are all the ones I have...My size 8's are on my motorcycle hat (pic later) and I still need a size 10 in a new future color :)

Along with my 3.5" needles, I got 4 of the new Midnight needles in 5"...I love them and am saving up to get the other 4 needles to finish the set!

That is it for stash enhancements.....WHEW!  I did have a friend post on Instagram that she was tired of her Signature needles cords breaking....so I sent her some of my Dyakcraft to try and a set of HiyaHiya needles to try.....

Okay.....so as for the knitting.....I finished nothing and I hardly knit this week.....BOO HOO!

I worked on the black sweater....I would like to try to finish this by Thanksgiving and I am already behind.....I will try to catch up!

Then I started my DVD September socks.....Here comes the Zombride...I love this color!

And after ripping twice....I finally got the motorcycle hat restarted.

That is it.....I had a crazy busy weekend with Antonio...I got a new pool for him, we went to golf with my mom and dad and when he came over on Friday, he had a black check from where he hit his face on an entertainment center (cuz he has a crazy amount of energy)!!

Have a great week!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting everyone!

Happy, Happy, Happy!

Hello everyone!  How have you been for the last week?  I have been Great!  Paige's 21st birthday was this past Wednesday....so Happy Birthday Paige!  Labor Day was yesterday, so Happy Labor day to all, and Antonio got to go fishing for the first time this past weekend....so Happy Fishing!  Happy, Happy, Happy!

Let me jump right into stash enhancements!

I got a new Bags By Awesome Grannie Bag....it is a Halloween bag and has 2 witches!  One witch is knitting and one has a yarn ball for hair....I LOVE IT!

I already have my Celestarium in it ready to start.  I am going to make the North Star Bead larger than the other beads (thanks to Michelle on the Knotty Knit Wits Podcast for the idea) and my friend, Anne, gave me a few beads to choose for the North Star:

Somebody asked me how many Bags I have.....well, I do not know....but here is a picture of most of them (but not all of them):

Let's not forget.....

Somewhere in the middle of the week, I got a text from Paige this past week asking me to make her a sweater for Christmas:

So I got some yarn for the sweater....Here is the sweater that I have to try to make and the yarn I got for it.

My LSSK Knitting Sistah's have given me some great pattern ideas and I am going to try to mesh up a few different patterns to see what I can do.....wish me luck!

Well, that is for stash enhancements...Let's go to FO's!

I do have a better picture of my blocked spire....Thank you Darlene for blocking it for me!

I made a Spiderman Mask for Antonio! He really loved it (ps, that is my mom in the background of the first picture):

And, I finished my Scamper socks....they are a bit too big for me, but I think my mom will love them.

WIPS......well, I started a Harley Hat for Jaime....but I had one stitch that was off on the 'invisible' cast on and it was driving me crazy (it made the invisible cast on not so invisible)....so I frogged it.  I will try to restart it later this week (it takes quiet and conentration).  The DCS Pigskin Party Start this Thursday, so I think I am just going to wait till Thursday to start anything new....I was not going to do the DCS Pigskin Party this year, but I have done it for two years and I enjoyed it....so I am going to do it again!

Since I am waiting till Thursday to cast on anything else....I worked on 'The Black Sweater'....it is really hard to see (because it is black), but I have about 6" done on the back and one front panel....the other front panel is about 4".  I still have a long way to go, but I feel I got a lot of this done this past weekend.  :)

Well, that is all I have.....I leave you with some pictures from Paige's Birthday and from fishing this past weekend!

Yes, she is covering her face....

Jaime's finger was in the way, but it is still a pretty good picture....it is just blocking my face...LOL!

That is all I have...Happy, Happy, Happy Knitting everyone!
