Are ya ready for some football??!!

I am sooo excited that football season has started...My dream for this season is for the Giants to win the Superbowl and for me to get all my Xmas knitting finished while I watch the games! I don't ask for much...tee hee!

Anyway, the game will start in about an hour and I need to get set up...soooooo I have just one question...ARE YA READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?!

Feliz Tejiendo (Happy Knitting in Spanish)

Can you believe it and my child is only 14! LOL

Thanks to the wonders of matrimony I became an instant Grammy 18 months ago and as of July 9th...I am a GREAT GRAMMY!

Congratulations to Shanelle on her bundle of joy...LIAM!

WWKIP DAY was wonderful...it's always great to gather with a bunch of knitters and have a good time.

This photo is of one of the ladies that I taught to knit at the event...she was a bit camera shy, but OMG was she a quick learner! And she is still knitting strong...way to go Grace. Alrighty then...KWYL smooches and have a great day!

Certified Instructors class

I took the Certified Knitting Instructors class this weekend and OMG what a wonderful class!

I think Ms. Arnetta is the bomb teacher and she knows her stuff. I can't wait to incorporate all that I learned into my knitting and teaching.

Thank you CYCA and thank you Ms. Arnetta for a wonderful class, chock full of information...

We now return you to your regularly scheduled blogging...LOL

Feliz Tejiendo!

Happy Easter..

Some people dye eggs for Easter, well this year I'm gonna do something a little different...

I'm dying yarn!

Kool-Aid...check
Wool Yarn...check
Tutorial...check
High Hopes...check
Yeah Baby (in my best Austin Powers voice)!

The wonderful people at La Casita were so patient while helping my sister and I choose a yarn, and the owner gave us tips on what to do and what NOT to do when dying yarn, I just wanted to put her in the bag too so I wouldn't forget all the helpful advice.



Oh well, I'm off...stay tuned for The Adventures of Kool Aid Yarn Dying...hmmm that's kinda long, gotta come up with a better name : )


As always Precious Purls,
Feliz Tejiendo, have a great day and
Happy Easter to ya!

The Wait is Over...

Little Nathaniel arrived on March 30th at 8:56PM...we were all so excited to meet Master Nathaniel and he didn't disappoint...what a darling boy.

I nicknamed him Popeye because when we saw him he had one eye open and one eye closed...in any case we all call him LOVE.

Thank you all for sharing my journey with me, now I am off to go spend some time with "Popeye" and his mother.

Feliz Tejiendo and have a great day!

HEY KOOL AID...

ok so I just found out that people dye their hair with Kool-Aid...OMG! People drink this stuff, I used to drink this stuff as a child, imagine what it must be doing to your insides...but I digress. I also found out that you can use it to dye yarn...well well now you're speaking my language. I've been wanting to learn how to dye yarn for months now. I was waiting for my baby girl to have her baby, because she is my craft partner and I thought we had to use a toxic dye and I didn't want her or the baby around that...BUT THERE'S KOOL-AID!

So I may have mentioned before that I gave up purchasing yarn for Lent...but now that it is only 1 week away, I have been perusing the KnitPicks site and drooling at all the yarn but particularly the dyeable yarns. Woohoo can't wait...Went to the grocery store and bought my Kool-Aid and can't wait for next Sunday, of course that is also the day that the baby is due, so I probably won't be dying any yarn for a few more weeks. In any case, I am alot closer to realizing my dream than I was a week ago.
Precious Purls what have you been wanting to do and just haven't gotten around to it yet...get around to it honey!

TTYL! Feliz Tejiendo!!
