What a crazy Month!

 Hey everyone......honestly, I am not even sure where to start....the last month has been crazy.

Let me start with some non-knitting.  I found a stray dog.  She is super sweet, but realistically, I cannot keep her.  However, I do not want her euthanized either.  So when ACS finally picked her up (10 days later), they called 3 days later to say she was already on the euthanize list....so I agreed to foster her.

Let me know if you are looking for the perfect pet to complete your family!  Her name is Blue and she is all up to date on her shots and is spayed.

This addition certainly has chaned up my plain world/routine!

I think in last post I mentioned the half and half triangles shawls...well, they have been put on hold, and I had to restart the one with the Linen Quill....I am doing an icord cast on for that one and it was too loose, so I restarted it.

I got a couple stash enhancements....

I also finished July's Blanket portion in July!

I made some socks for Kody's Birthday!

Antonio had a golf tournament he was invited to at Fair Oaks Ranch Golf and Country Club!

George Jetson was born....LOL!

I started a new blanket for Paige

Ive been working on my annual test knit....but as we all know, I can never show that till the end of December.

Paige and Kody have a baby shower to go to on August 27th, so she asked me to make a pom pom blanket for the baby.....gender unknown...I asked her to pick a color and this is what she picked.

My parents had their 54th wedding anniversary yesterday!  

The MAIN think I have been working on (besides test knit) is this HUGE Nuvem baby blanket

That is about all I have....Have a fabulous week....and consider fostering or adopting a dog!  LOL!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Half and Half and Half!

 Hey guys!  Can you believe we are more than half way done with the year?  WOW!  What have you been up to?

I finished Crocheting and doing the ribbon on BOTH the crocheted baby blanets.....does anyone elses watch think they are doing an eliptical exercise while crocheting?

I have been working on the nuvem baby blanket too...pictured with a new bag from my co-podcaster, Elizabeth...she has a shop here.

We did a new podcast, link here

I finished the shawl I showed you last time...and finished June's color on the monthly blanket

I donated blood and got a cool tshirt....

I have been walking with Jackson along some paths behind my neighborhood...and we see some deer...this deer was very curious about us

speaking of Jackson...here are some cute shot of him.  I dont get as many cute shots of Purl because she is anti social and stays in my room most days....but I did get one of her....sleeping.

I have been catching one or two hummingbirds at the feeder, but I wish I saw more....I guess this takes time

My favorite bose headphones recently died on me....I cried and then ordered some new powerbeats because of a recommendation...I am not sure if I love them yet or not.  

I am still buying too much yarn....but I have plans for (almost) everything...that has to count for something...LOL!

I got this DK Zooey yarn from Juniper Moon Farm. The pink will be Sunshine Coast, and the grey will be Léger Redux.

I got some new Emma's DK yarn....these will be hats or socks.

Okay....now for another part of all the "Half" in my blog titile...not only are we Half way though the year, but I have decided to jump on the Half and Half Triangle train.....this pattern looks like it is right up my alley with lots of garter.  It is knit with Linen Quill....which I 'might' of had a hard time picking my colors so I ordered 19 skeins.

While waiting (not as patiently as most ppl are) on the yarn to arrive, I started one with my Alpaca Boucle I showed you last post....this is the Matchstick colorway and the crystal colorway will be the 2nd triangle....I cant wait to start one with the linen quill!

The Purled in Texas podcast (that I am part of) is also doing a Gifting KAL for Christmas in July.....so I ordered more ornaments to kit covers for.....

Here are pics of my gorgeous children (just because I don't share pics of them enough).

Here are Paige, Tone and Bizz living their fittest life

That is all I have.....have a great week everyone!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!
