Ten on Tuesday

Our topic for this week is 10 Things You Wished You Liked.

1) Fish - I know it is really good for you but I just cannot eat it
2) Mushrooms - DH loves them and wants me to cook with them but I cannot deal with them unless they are diced really small
3) Exercise - it would make things so much easier
4) Camping - it would be fun to take Clark but I am a not a nature girl
5) Wine - wine drinkers just seem so cool to me but I very rarely find something I can stand to drink
6) Coffee - it would be much cheaper to drink the coffee at work for my caffeine fix rather than buying a Coke Zero
7)  Oatmeal - while I eat it everyday for breakfast I do so because it is cheap and good for you not because I like it
8) The news - I feel so out of it sometimes but it is so negative I just cannot stand watching/reading it much.
9) Cleaning - then maybe I wouldn't put it off quite so much
10) Saving money - while I do like this in theory in practice not so much since I never save any

Until next ....

Believe It or Not Here's More FOs

I have managed to complete a couple more projects in the last few days. I have been on quite the knitting kick lately. So without further ado here we go. This is the 5th washcloth set for end of the year gifts for Clark's teachers. The yarn is Sugar 'n Cream in Faded Denim and these are the Grandma's favorite and Darryl Waltrip patterns.

 

Next up is my Ashton Shawlette for the April/May KAL for the Knitting Blooms group. No there was a bit of heartbreak with this one. I ran out of yarn about 25 stitches from the end of my bind off. I ripped back to the start of chart 4 and was able to leave out one row and then I had enough yarn to finish. It still needs to be blocked but I love it already

Finally we have a boy and his monster. I knit this Monster Chunks for Clark and he loves it. I feel a monster knitting obsession coming on!

 

That smile says it all. Until next time ....

Spring Fiber Day

I did not buy anything but we had a good time. Clark loved the animals and I think we could have a future farmer on our hands.

Our topic for this week is 10 Items On Your Spring To-Do List.

1) Finish uploading my old projects to Ravelry
2) Plant a container with Clark
3) Scan Clark's artwork so we can toss the originals
4) Organize the closet in our room
5) Catch up on the DVR (I am 4 weeks behind which is ridiculous)
6) Organize my patterns and stash

Well that is all I can think of tonight. Until next time ....

Even More Fos

I have managed to complete two more dishcloth set for Clark's teachers. I plan on going to our local farmer's market to get some handmade soaps to go with them.

First up is set #3 in Earth Ombre.

Second is set #4 in Terra Firma

I was hoping to have a finished Ashton Shawlette to show you as well but there was a bit of a disaster with the bind off but that is a story for another day. Until next time ....

Happy Mother's Day
