October 2016

Wow! This year is going by at an expediential rate. A year that has had some ups and some very low downs. As spring has sprung I am going to move forward as best I can, with the ones I love and doing the things I love. I will have to do things I don't like for a while, like de cluttering this damn house. It is out of control. Testament to the year we have had I guess.

Knitting is starting to come back at a faster pace than it has been all year. I finished the blanket I was knitting for Aahliyah for her bed here for when she visits. I did get the yarn, needles and pattern out for the Seasons Beanie by Jarod Flood, I bought the wool on a trip to America back in 2012 from a beautiful yarn and tea store in Santa Barbara. I couldn't start it, my head isn't in the right head space. Damn, I like to kept to my list of knitting to do, but at the moment I have moved forward to others things to knit.

Today I have another Mermaid Tail blanket on the needles, this one is for my baby grand daughter Bailee, getting ahead for next winter, I will do her twin brother Levi's next. As they will be 1 year old next Autumn I am knitting the 2-3 year size, that way they will get a few winters out of them.

Photos of some of my latest knitting. Beanies and mittens for Bailee and Levi. Shawl for me, it is the Mother's Day 2016 Knitalong by J.L Fleckenstein (I Live on a Farm). A cotton hand towel and the blanket for Aahliyah's bed here at Gran and Pops house.
