Last Min Lake Lounging!

 Hey everyone....I hope you are warm....we got a crazy cold front moved in and it is 35 here in SA this morning.

Two weekends ago I had a family dinner at my sister's house and she said that the lakehouse would be empty this past weekend, so Lupe and I asked for Monday off and had a 3 day weekend at the lake.  It was filled with fun and relaxation.  It got super windy on Sunday and then we woke up Monday to super cold!  But it was a fabulous weekend (photo dump at and of post)....I knitted all weekend while Lupe spoiled me.  I made 4 dishcloth/potholders for my sister and left them there.

That is pretty much all I knit on...but when we got home, I worked on this blanket so I can get it done and off to Lupe's niece. This is not my favorite yarn, so I kinda just want to finish.  I only have one skein left.

Before we left to lakehouse I had dinner at Paige's and got to hang out with Tone and this cutie!

Paige made homemade brownies for Lupe and he loved them!

My mother sent me this text.....thankfully Tone still looks like me!

I ordered one of the new Apple MacBook Neo in pink.  It arrived today!

And, Lupe got 26.2 MPG, I only got a picture of 26.1 but he was super excited since gas prices are so high!

Here is the lakehouse photo dump

Have a great week everyone!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Springing Forward is not my Favorite!

 Hey everyone.  How are you?  Well, it is that time of year again where we lose 1 hour.  Let me jump right into it.....I pulled out my CSM and knit some large socks for her.  Here is the thing.  I did not try to make these big.  It is like I cannot figure out my tension on this machine.  I think I might be selling it.  Maybe make several tubes with extra yarn I have and then sell it.  We'll see.

I got my crochet bag from Knit Trolley and I am in love!

I got some new bins to re-organize my yarn.  Currently my yarn is in all different shapes and sizes containers and it makes the leaning tower of yarn.....LOL

I went to Paige's on Friday and she made delicious Shrimp Tostadas!

We had Lupe's brother and is girlfriend over for a barbeque on Saturday and I did not get a single pic :(. But here is a pic from her fb...its my favorite pic of them

I ordered Lupe some of the Playstation ear buds and he was messing with his 3d audio experience...LOL!

I finished my Test Knit!

and I did the sleeves on my pullover sweater

My yarn winder I ordered has shipped!

and that is all I have except some pics of Amira and Mia

Have a great week!!!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Still Celebrating Into March!

 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.

Paige sent me a beautiful pic of Amira

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!
