FO Friday 151

Hi everyone! Happy Friday! I don't have anything finished this week unfortunately. I hope you all have a great weekend. We're at Tiki Oasis and I'm sure having a blast (I'm writing this Thursday afternoon right before we leave to go to the opening event at the Bali Hai). I'll see everyone Wednesday.

Share your FOs!

Work in Progress Wednesday 157

Hi everyone. I hope all is well for you. I have a few things to share with you today, which is exciting! First off, my Elfe, which you've seen the past few weeks, but I'm pretty close to finishing. Give it another week or so and it should be good as gold!

 I must say. So far I am like stupidly proud of this pullover. It has gone super fast and seamless (knock on wood) and I just love the colors together more and more each time I work on it. Work is going to get crazy again between now and the end of the month, so keep your fingers crossed that I'll find time to work on it.




Speaking of having no time, you may remember my Woodland Sampler by the Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery. I'm super behind, but I found a little time this weekend to start on July so that I can try and get back up to date. Again, I didn't get too far (I didn't do the borders in advance, unfortunately), but at least I was able to start last month's!


That's it for me today. I will try and remember to post Friday! We have Tiki Oasis starting on Thursday (those of you who have followed this blog the past several years know that it's an event we attend every year), so I hope to post it in advance so I don't forget!

That's it for me today. I hope you have a great rest of the week.

Work in Progress Wednesday 156

Hi everyone! Happy Wednesday. I hope you're having a great week and had a great weekend. We were home all weekend, with my husband having the hurt back, so I had a lot of time to watch movies and knit! It was relaxing, yet by the end I felt a little cooped up with only going to the grocery store the whole weekend. The great part is that my Elfe is FLYING off the needles so fast. I feel like I blinked and it started to look like a real shirt! Don't you love when that happens?



This is my progress picture from tonight. I'm a little over half way finished with the pattern. This is such a great pattern and if you're looking for a first time garment, look no further. It's easy, yet fun as the stripes keep it interesting. It also doesn't take a ton of yarn, which is great. I bet everyone has a few skeins of fingering yarn that would look great together from their stash.

I certainly hope it fits, but even if it doesn't, it will make a great sample for shows. I'm using Candy Skein Yummy fingering in Grape Soda and Sugar Snap Pea.

That's it for me today. What are you working on?

FO Friday 149

Hi everyone! I hope all is well. I've had a hell of a few days since Wednesday! Unfortunately, no FO for me, and no weekend plans as my husband hurt his back, so it will be a house/work (for me) weekend. You all must get out and enjoy the summer sun for me!
