Stitch Along Wednesday: Week 5

Good evening folks!  So I have actually done some crafting this week.....let's see what I have pictures of, shall we?

I worked a bit on my Multnomah....

Added a few more rounds to these socks.....

I also started another "hat" not pink, it is actually red, white and blue and I'm probably going to felt it a bit, as it's a bit big.....and added a few more rounds to the sleeve on my sweater...

That's it for me...how about you?

Stash Acquistion Saturday

So I do have a few pretties to add

I showed this one the other day...it is the first month of HerStory in Folding Chairs...inpired by Shirley Chisolm.  I'm a bit farther along

The last month of the Mad Color Supernatural Club is Castiel...along with the Jessalu bag....

I am taking a break from this club for the next three months...it is Sherlock themed and while I like Sherlock, it's not a major fandom and I got it the last time around and still have to use those yarns...

The January BAMF made me tear up....

Admiral Organa...enough said.....

I did do a bit of etsy shopping this week and am expecting a gradient set, an Irish self stripe...a pinky self stripe (Valentine's Day) and then a worsted self stripe in pink and green...plus I have the next two months of HerStory before I re-up and the Roald Dahl skeins should be arriving any day now....oh and I ordered a bunch of Brown Sheep for my throwback poncho that I need to pick up, as it came into my LYS....yeah!

Spam Comments

Man, have I been hit with a ton of spam comments in the past couple of weeks....gotta love it when they compliment you and then WHAM!

"Hello, you used to write magnificent, but the last several posts have been kinda boring… I miss your great writings. Past few posts are just a little bit out of track! come on!"

Really?  Well at least they are not trying to sell me Viagra....

New Obsession

So I would catch an episode or two on PBS every once in awhile....so when I saw the series box set on Sunday, I knew I had to get it....I'm obsessed!  All I want to do is watch it.....Why are BBC shows so engaging?  I will admit a few times I can't figure out what they are talking about...but I love these two.....

Oh and I tried Netflix...not available and I had to pay per episode on On demand....so yeah me!

(PS - I also bought the first season of Poldark because I was only able to catch episode 1)

What are some of your tv obsessions?  (PPS: Yes I watch This Is Us too....)

Stitch Along Wednesday: Week 4

Good evening!  Can't believe I haven't posted in a week.....same ole', same ole'...I did do some things, and thought about posting, but just never made it to the computer....sigh...but here I am and I do have a new WIP....

On Saturday, I took the Fasttrac to Hartford and participated in the Women's Rally, wasn't a march here, but a rally...and I decided to cast on a sock in my new yarn....

Folding Chairs...in honor of Shirley Chisholm...Knitted Wit has created a sock yarn club this year entitled HerStory...I signed up for the first three months..you can sign up in 3, 6 or 12 month runs....She is a new to me dyer...but it's off to a strong start.  I wouldn't have picked this yarn up for myself...but I'm actually loving it....

That's about all I've worked on this week....how about you?  Pull up a chair and tell us about it....

Stitch Along Wednesday: Week 3

Good evening my friends....I am spending my evening watching C-SPAN and the hearing of Betsy Devos for Education Secretary...obviously that will have an impact on my life...

I have not spent much time crafting this week....I did finish a crochet p_ssyhat...but that is about all....

So I will leave it to you all to share....have a great week....

Martin Luther King Jr.

So many wonderful quotes, it's hard to pick just one....I've had the privilege of visiting the place of this great man's birth and also the place of his death....

My niece, Allison and I visited his home several years ago.  He was actually born in this house.  The church where his father preached and later he preached, was within walking distance, as was his grave.

Then about three years ago, when my father passed away, a friend offered her house to us on our way home.  She lives in Memphis, and took us to the Lorraine Hotel...it was twilight, so a bit difficult for pictures and they were renovating.

I wonder what he would say today?
