Final Stash Acquisition Post of 2017

So it's been awhile since I did an update....I actually have quite a bit to post, so picture heavy! It is darker here, so hopefully the pictures won't be too crappy

Rhinebeck Haul: I never did a proper Rhinebeck Stash Update

Spirit Trail Fiberworks in Painted Hills, Roussillon and Blue Suede Shoes for Beatha

Harvest Yarns Maize....label is faded and one is missing, so no colorways, but 32% corn fiber!

Neighborhood Fiber Co Studio DK in Pentworth, with a fun pompom.....This will be a hat, not sure which one yet....

Lisa Souza Blue Faced Leicester Worsted in Marionberry.....it looks almost black...it is a really, really dark purple....

Blackbird Kit from Ewetopia...I really love this, but reading the pattern, I'd have to steek...eeek!!!!!!

White Barn Farm in Blue Jay...there was a reason I bought this, but can't remember why now....

Peace, Love and Yarn in Kestral.  I'm not usually a pink girl....I was wearing a shirt with this saying and there was just something about this pink...it was so soft and pretty.

Some yarny goodness came in the mail too.....From Must Stash Yarn

Left to Right: Star Wars: Mos Eisley, Rogue One, Jakku, The Last Jedi

Black Friday trip to NYC....we went to String Thing Studio in Brooklyn..

 The Backyard Fibers is for a Rainbow Party Cardi...

I also got some Juniper Moon Moonshine for the body of Telja or Starfall, maybe..I might switch these around, but was going to use other alpaca yarns for the colorwork....

Then we stopped at Knitty City and bought these two....

From my hometown LYS, New England Yarn and Spindle, I have bought several skeins of Cascade 220 for baby hats....

Okay, this is not it, but there is so much more and this will be too long, and I'm not sure many people will read it....so.....I'm going to end it here.....

Christmas Day 2017

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate....Happy Monday to those who don't.......

We spent a quiet day at home.  We exchanged a few small things...but with buying the house and having to replace Larry's truck (and now I have to replace my iphone battery!), we decided not to get much for each other....but I love opening gifts, so Larry said to get a few small things.....

But it was

very icy...that reflection is all ice!  I was able to run out on Sunday to pick up a few things.....I also made him his "warmies" I've made these slippers before for him, but this time I made them with Malabrigo Rios....he is a Malabrigo fan....

Two strands held together...the colors are Diana and Plumo......

I also made him a headband/earwarmer from some Lorna's Laces Shepherd Worsted (which I love!) in Cermak.....

I am also making him a cowl, inspired by Jessica Jones, but it's not done yet.....

We woke to a white Christmas!

This was me in school on Thursday....

and I found this wrapping paper....and thought there was a resemblance

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!  Have a great day!

Stitch Along - Week 50

Okay...so, even though I posted last week, I did not provide a link...and I was a week off on the week count....sigh......

My ear is making me crazy, it crackles and bubbles contantly!  This is something new....I told the ENT doctor (who by the way, is young and very nice looking!) and he didn't seem to be worried about it....but it's driving me NUTS! Although it is not painful, just irritating.....

So all Saturday, I worked on a newborn hat...

I think it's big enough for a two year old....sigh.....I'm going to finish it and give it to a friend....I also missed a line in the chart.....

Then, on Sunday, I worked on some fingerless mitts for a gift.....

This is the second go-around, because AGAIN...it was way too big!!!

It was not a successful weekend......and I needed to take yesterday off to rest my hands.....

Next week, we work M-W and a half day on Thursday...my student teacher's last day is Friday.....it will be a big adjustment.....but kind of looking forward to it......

So did you have some positive project experience this week?  Please let me know....

Stitch Along - Week 48

Dudes!  I am so sorry I skipped last week!  I didn't remember until almost 8 pm EST...oh well....

I finished my sweater!  I have worn it so much already!  It is exactly what I wanted...a "bang-around" sweater that I can just throw on....

I have been working on a variety of socks....these are the closest to being finished....in that sock 1 is done and working on sock 2...was able to put about an inch on today at the doctor's office...yes, I'm a 49 year old woman, who is probably getting tubes in my ears....yeesh!  I have Eustachian Tube Disability....but it explains the many, many ear infections I've had...have to get a hearing test first..and couldn't book that until the end of January...

I have a baby shower tomorrow...got the hat done....working on the sweater, she'll get that later...

The color is more true in the second picture......They are the Elephant Nation patterns by Gabrielle Danskknit....I have decided I do love colorwork....

So what about you?  What have you been up to the past two weeks? Please share...
