Vlog-Vent 2024 - Day 3

Here is Day 3!!

Hello everyone.  I have wanted to do a video on my blog (a vlog) for a long time, just have never done it.  I have seen it is time for lots of ppl doing Vlogmas.....and I thought I would change it a bit and do a Vlog-Vent to show my advent calendars.  I have my David's Tea Advent, Chelsea Luxe Yarns Advent and Cozy Knitting 24 stripe sock advent....I hope you enjoy this vlog-vent for December 2024

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

A Regular Blog Post!

 Hey everyone!  If you follow me you will notice I started an event called Vlog-Vent 202 in my blog.  I have wanted to do a "vlog" for years but was always just too chicken.....Well, I love Advent season and I have 3 advents this year, so I thought to myself "you need to suck it up and just do it"! so I did!  LOL!

However, I still wanted to post my regular blog stuff (some might be a small repeat of the vlog-vent).....so here I go.

I have been waiting for some yarn to come from Chelsea yarns to start my Frostina Poncho (the pattern provided by Chelsea Yarns).  Well, it came in!

Here are the first 2 days of my advents

Here are the socks after day 2

Im plugging away on the poncho, but I had a question for the designer so I will wait for her reply till I post it (but you can probably check it out on my vlog vent day 3).

I finished my test knit....but you still have to wait just a little longer to see it.

I also finished a christmas present....it came out way better than I thought!

Lupe decorated the house beautifully!  I have not decorated my house with lights in YEARS!

And Lastly....the Longhorns Beat ATM!  We (the longhorns) are headed to the SEC championship this Saturday at 3 pm. Hook Em!  Oh.....here is a pick of the ATM coach during the game....LOL!

Have a great week everyone!

Vlog-Vent 2024 - Day 1

Hello everyone.  I have wanted to do a video on my blog (a vlog) for a long time, just have never done it.  I have seen it is time for lots of ppl doing Vlogmas.....and I thought I would change it a bit and do a Vlog-Vent to show my advent calendars.  I have my David's Tea Advent, Chelsea Luxe Yarns Advent and Cozy Knitting 24 stripe sock advent....I hope you enjoy this vlog-vent for December 2024

ETA:  My first video was a disaster so I had to re-do it and it was less of a surprise.  Bear with me as I learn and try to get it right.

SIXTEEN???

 Can y'all believe this beauty is 16??  I started my blog shortly after she was born and I got into knitting....WOW!

Happy Sweet 16 Celeste!!

This week was a little chilly and I had to pull out my three amazing wallabys from Darlene.  I love these sweaters!

I got my november blanket yarn...I need to get my butt going on this blanket!

Plus there were some goodies in my Chelsea yarns Box

I found these baubles at dollar tree

and I made the lightbulb shaped one for my nephew and his fiancée for their wedding shower

I also worked on a present blanket

and look at how amazing my friends are

I cannot tell you how happy this made me....I am already looking at patterns for us to make together!

My tea advent from Darlene arrived....I cannot wait till Sunday to do the first day.

Darlene is too good to me.....along with this man!

He spoils me every day!  Look at these gorgous flowers

Lastly, my sleepy dog!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!  Have a great week!!

Its Almost Advent Season!

 Hey everyone!  How are you?  I am well.  It is almost advent season and I got 2 advents this year.

My Chelsea Yarns came last week

I am waiting to get the pattern for this advent.  It releases in 3 days, but it looks like I might have to buy 4 more skeins of yarn to make the poncho pattern.  I am confused with this.  The advent was already $230, then the additional 4 skeins is $120, so I will be sitting at a $350 poncho....we will see what happens.

I am waiting for my Cozy Knitter Sock Advent.  This is 2 skeins (I think) of yarn to make a sock with at least 24 stripes.  One stripe a day for Advent...I am not 100% sure what day this is going to arrive.

Darlene just told me that my annual Tea Advent Mug will be delivered this Saturday.  So exciting.

I finished Antonio's pom pom blanket.

I am still working my annual advent stole test knit.  I have only 2 clues left and blocking.  I am hoping to finish that this week, and I can share pics in December!

It is also soup season....well, almost....it is barely starting to get just a little chilly in the mornings here.  I made an Olive Garden Zuppa Toscono knock off recipe....it is delicious

That is really all I have.  Have a great week!

(Finger never tasted so good...LOL)

Happy Happy Happy Knitting

Thank You Veterans!

 Happy Belated Veterans Day!  A big Thank You to all our veterans!

I mostly worked on my test knit this week, but no worries, it is almost done and then I will have more content to show you......plus, it is almost advent time....I only ordered 2 advents this year.  One Mini Skein Advent from Chelsea Yarns and the Sock Advent from Coxy Knitter.  It is a 24 stripe self striping yarn.  I think you do one color a day......they should both be here this week.

There is a Bauble Along with Stacy Lewis that I wanted to join, so I did.

I tried my hand at crochet colorwork.  Tony Lipsy had a great tutorial on You Tube....

I messed up my first one (the square I am pointing at should be cornflower blue).

But I did not give up.....and viola!

I worked on a Christmas blanket present

Plus Antonio's Blanket

That is pretty much all I have.......except a picture of the queen

Have a great week!
