Viva Fiesta San Antonio!

It is that time of year again....Fiesta in San Antonio!

 

While I do not really participate in any fiesta activities....it is worthy of  a mention (Paige, Chris and Antonio went to an event last night).

How was your week?  Mine was great.....I am going to jump right into the knitting.

I finished my And Then Some Shawl!  It is not blocked yet, but I still love it!  Yahoo!



I worked on my Mystery, Experimental, Stress-Free Fade!  I hope to start my 5th color this week!



And.....I finally started my April Socks (Yes, I know it is already the 24th).  I changed my mind on what color to use this month.  Instead of the Exclusive Colorway from last year, I switched to the Color Accents Orange colorway:



Now, I have been debating on going forward with this DVD sock a month kal....and for now, I am going to keep doing it.  I went ahead and used my 30% off coupon and bought 2 skeins of yarn....they were both on sale, and then I used the coupon so I ordered 2 skeins for under $40....that is a bargain....so, if I later decide to stop this KAL and destash the yarn later, I will be able to break even!




I also worked on my VooDoo You Love Doll.  Antonio loves this and I wanted to finish it last night....but I am just one leg short!  I hope I can finish it tonight!


That is all I knitted on this week....but I also posted yesterday about the Second Annual BIG 4 RETREAT....it will be starting in about a week.  The Blog Post is here.....I do hope you can join us!




Okay....now that I have announced the Big 4 Retreat starting soon....I did want to add that along with the Retreat, I will also be joining a new KAL.  Joji has a "Rare" Mystery KAL coming up (I had no clue she did a Mystery KAL in the past).....it is called "Starting Point" and I cannot wait to start!  It will be a true rectangle shape and here are my colors!  I cannot wait for May 12th to start!



I also got this interesting Promo Box from Vista Print!!!!   I ran out of notepads that I have with my Name, Blog URL, and Ravelry Name....so I ordered some more and they offered this free Promo Box so I thought....Sure, why not!

Here are my new notepads.....they arrived first.



Then a couple of days later I got this box.....it was so much fun!






Now, future boxes will be $24.99...and I was going to cancel after my free box....but I really loved getting this box that I think I will stay subscribed for a 2nd box....I cannot wait to get it!

Well, I think that is all I have....but I leave you with some pictures of Antonio this past weekend.  He is either sleeping, or eating at Taste of New Orleans last night (a Fiesta Event).









Happy Happy Happy Knitting everyone!
