Hey, Y'all! How are y'all doing today? I am good today, feeling much better and motivated today! Hope you are having a spectacular day/afternoon/nite and it just keeps getting better. Although, if your day has been an absolute shitshow, know that it will get better and that I am sending a hug.....(((HUG)))

The Reed has the focus in the shop today. I am hoping to finish this piece so I can move on. I seem to be saying that a lot; but every single time I do, I get sidetracked by babies. Lol. It should be finished by the end of the week so I can get started on the other three pieces. I REALLY want to get it finished completely so I can show y'all. Although I didn't think much of the color to start with, I am loving it as it works into a garment. It's gonna be so pretty.

In house news, Big started summer school today. He should be home here soon, so I need to feed the littles before he gets here or I'll have a couple grumpies. And grumpy babies are not fun.

Today is a podcast day, so be sure to check us out over on our YT channel--https://www.youtube.com/@1332knitweardesignhouse

Hope you have a MAREVLOUS day!

Much Love!

Huge Hugs!

Happy Knitting!

Hey, Y'all! Hope y'all are doing well. It's already shaping up to be a 'meh' day, here. However, that is mostly because on top of trying to get over this thing, the pollen is high so I am sneezing until it hurts. Hope you are having a marvelous day/afternnon/nite and it just keeps getting better. However, if it has been absolutely craptastic, know that it gets better and that I am sending you a hug.....(((HUG)))

In the shop today, I am working on the Casey while I play Ancient Cities because I have been ousted from my chair for the day, or at least the morning. I am hoping to get to at least 75 stitches. I am currently at 57. Wish me luck, Imma need it.

Also, I am working on the line for next season; sketching out my ideas and doing some rough figures on stitching. If I get time, I plan on starting a new Jolly Mini Tree Skirt.

In other news, I am hoping that I will be able to get my housework fully caught back up today. Beyond that, I plan on getting to work on the kids afghans after I get work finished. Two rows each is the goal for that. Lol. Any more is gravy.

Anyways, hope you have an absolutely STELLAR day!

Much Love!

Huge Hugs!

Happy Knitting!

Heya! How are y'all doing today? I am well. This weekend I was sick, but I am feeling better now. Hope y'all are having an absolutely delightful day/afternoon/nite and it just keeps getting better. However, if your day has been an utter shitfest, know that it gets better and that I am sending a hug.....(((HUG)))

The Reed has the focus in the shop today! I am hoping to get this piece finished and off my needles today. I am ready to move on. I have already decided to cast on all 3 of the remaining parts at the same time....as soon as I can. Lol.

In other news, yesterday, here in the States was Memorial Day, so I didn't get much done. Although, I did work on the Casey for a bit, I tried to focus on the Petrie I have active at the moment. Alas, it was difficult to focus on anything while feeling like junk.

Also, toda is a Twitch day, so be sure to catch us on the livestream at 12n Chicago time, here.

Hope you have a MARVELOUS day!

Much Love!

Huge Hugs!

Happy Knitting!

Hi, there! How are you doin' today? I am doing well. Hope your day/afternnon/nite has been utterly fantastic and continues to do so. However, if your day has been craptastic, know that it gets better and that I am sending you a hug.....(((HUG)))

It's a Reed day in the shop. I am hoping to get the back finished today so that I can use my long cable and cast on all 3 of it's remaining parts. This has taught me to make as many of the parts at one time as I can. Lol.

Also, there will be some new stuff coming in the shop this summer! Check us out over on Ko-Fi to see all the stuff! Some of it is pretty awesome!

In other news, the littles are out of school for the summer so my YT and Twitch schedule may be a little wonky for a few weeks until they settle into mom's schedule. Big is in summer school, and gets out at noon, so the Twitch schedule may need to be pushed back to 1p. We'll figure all that out as we go.

Hope you have an absolutely STELLAR day!

Much Love!

Huge Hugs!

Happy Knitting!

Heya, Folks! How are you today? I am doing well. Hope your day/afternnon/nite has been fantabulous and just gets better. Although, if your day has been utter shit, know that it gets better and I am sending you a hug......(((HUG)))

The Casey gets the spotlight today. I am ready to get her finished, also. But she is gonna be sooo pretty. Oh! The Cary is going to the spa today. She's getting washed today and having her finish work done this week. The sooner the girls are finished, the sooner I can focus on the Reed and get him off of the needles. After this season, I have learned to work on the line during the off season.

Today, I am kicking back and enjoying the last day of school for the littles. Big is in summer school, not for extra learning, but for the continuity of his schedule.

Yesterday was crazy, we got lost on the way to Diva's eye appointment. But we got there and found out that his eyes are worse than we thought. But, we got his new specs ordered. After we got back, I worked on Bigs blankie for a little bit.

Because I wasn't able to go live yesterday, I will do so today, so stop in at 12n Chicago time! Ill be here:

Hope you have an OUTSTANDING day!

Much Love!

Huge Hugs!

Happy Knitting!

Hey, Y'all! How are y'all doin' today? I am doing well. Today is shaping up to be a red letter day for me. Hope your day/afternoon/nite has been absolutely stupendous and just keeps getting better! However, if your day has been an utter shitfest, know that it gets better and that I am sending you a hug......(((HUG)))

In the shop, today is a Cary day. I am currently sewing the placket up! After this is to weave in any loose ends and give her a wash. So she should be up soon! I am beyond happy to get her done and off of my needles. Lol. I will post pics as soon as she is finished!

In other news today, I need to play catch up with my housework. I may make some blueberry cookies later, but I'm not sure. After the Cary today, I will be working on Sis's afghan.

Anyways, Folks, I spent the weekend playing Ancient Cities and blowing off steam so I need to hang out in my chair today, so my ankle returns to normal size. So it looks like today will encompass plenty of documentaries and yarn.

Hope Y'all have an amazingly BEAUTIFUL day!

Much Love!

Huge Hugs!

Happy Knitting!

Hey, y'all. How you doin'? I am good. Hope your day/afternoon/nite has been termendously awesome and just keeps getting better. However, if yours has been shitastical, know that it gets better and that I am sending a hug...........(((HUG)))

In the shop today, I am working on the Casey Cardigan. I am hoping to get past the ribbing on the cuffs, that's my goal for today. After that, I will likely get back to the Cary and work on her for a while.

In other news, I am going to be baking blueberry cookies today after working in the shop. The kids and I love them. They are like the old blueberry filled cookies from Archway. I craved those with Sis and ended up making them from a copycat recipe I found online. While the recipe was for raspberry filled, it works for the blueberry ones too.

I will also be listening/watching Fact Feast over on YT because the history of Vic England is happening again in the US.

Speaking of YT, you cna check out the 'Stitch and Breathe' or the podcasts here...

That said, hope you have an absolutely STELLAR day!

Much Love!

Huge Hugs!

Hey, Y'all How are y'all doing today?? I am good and I hope y'all are too. Hope y'all are having an absolutely stellar day/afternoon/nite and it just keeps getting better. And if it has been craptastic, know that it gets better and that I am sending you hugs.....(((HUG)))

Today is a Reed day in the shop. I am hoping to get this piece finished so I can move on. I wish my needles could fly so I can show y'all. But alas, I am a mere human. So my goal for today is to get at least another 2 inches finished!

In other news, I still have the livestream on Twitch to do today and laundry. Wish me luck. After that, the hooligans should be home and it's on to blankets.

So please, come hang with me at 12n Chicago time today over on Twitch. It's the same name.

Hope you have a FANTASTIC day!

Much Love!

Huge Hugs!

Hey, Y'all! Hope y'all are doing well! I am good, so far. Hope you are having an outstanding day/afternoon/evening and it just keeps getting better. However, if it has been crappy, know that it gets better and that I am sending you a hug......(((HUG)))

As this past weekend was Mothers Day, here in the States, I did not get much done. Therefore, I am focusing on the Cary today in the hopes to get her somewhat completed. I am more than ready to have her finished. I want to move on. Lol.

As I previousy stated, it was Mothers Day so I spent most of the weekend at my desk, playing Ancient Cities to keep the hooligans out of my hair. Sadly, this made my ankle revolt and swell up some. So today, Imma sit in my chair with a cuppa and a doc and knit my little heart out to (hopefully) finish the Cary. Lol. Wish me luck.

Hope you have an absolutely FANTASTIC day!

Much Love!

Huge Hugs!

Happy Knitting!

Hey, Y'all! Hope y'all are good today. I am doing well. I hope your day/afternoon/nite has been absolutely magical and just keeps getting better. However, if your day has been utter shit, know that it gets better and I am sending you a hug....(((HUG)))

It's a Reed day in the shop today. I am hoping to get this piece finished and ready to move on to the front, today. Yesterday, I did get the fronts of the Casey finished, so I am on to the sleeves soon. As soon as I finally get the Cary finished, which I will be focusing on this weekend, if all goes well.

Speaking of this weekend, I also have some socks to finish for the kids. They are almost finished, so it should only take about a day, but I can carry them around and work while I finish other housework. Alas, today is a quiet day, so I plan on putting my foot up, watching doc's, and knitting as far as I can on the back of the Reed. Wish me luck!

Hope you have a FANTASTIC day!

Much Love!

Huge Hugs!

Happy Knitting!

Heya, Folks! How are y'all doing today? I am good. I hope you are having an outstanding day/afternoon/nite. And if your day has been craptastic, know that it gets better and that I am sending you hugs...(((HUGS)))

In the shop, today is a Casey day. I have both of the fronts on the same cable, and according to my counts, I am VERY close to the bind off for that. The last three pieces then are the sleeves and the placket. After that, I'm planning on refocusing on the Cary and reworking the placket in the hopes that I can actually get her finished this weekend. Wish me luck there, Imma need it. LOL.

In other news, I was told yesterday that my eyes are getting better! But alas, the kids claimed my chair yesterday, so I was stuck at my desk when I got home. While my ankle isn't swollen too bad today, I still should put it up and keep it from swelling. So, yes, I'll put my foot up, put on some meditation tunes, and knit to my little hearts content.

Hope you have an absolutely ASTOUNDING day!

Much Love!

Huge Hugs!

Happy Knitting!

So, yeah, I didn't get the Cary finished. Instead, I had to rip out what I had done cause I made a few mistakes. But that's ok, I can rework her this weekend.

I have an eye appointment in the morning, so no daily or stream. Sorry. We will return to our regularly scheduled week on Wed the 8th.

Hey, Y'all! Sorry about Thursday, the day slipped away. Hope you have been well. I'm in a much better headspace today. Hope you are having an absolutely fantabulos day/afternoon/nite and it just gets better! Although, if your day has been an utter shitfest, know that it gets better and I am sending you a hug...(((HUG)))

Today is, hopefully, the last Cary day. While I am excited to move on, I am even more excited to finish her and show y'all the finished product. It's almost there and I can't wait. I am so proud of her. Y'all can't see my happy dance, but it's there. LOL.

In other news, because the kids claimed my chair this weekend, I was relegated to the desk. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind, I can knit while I play games here; but my ankle is swollen, not as big as a softball, more like a baseball, but still swollen. So, Imma go start a load of dishes and laundry, fill my coffee mug, put on a documentary, and get my foot up while I knit to my little hearts content. And hopefully, finish the Cary today.

Have an absolutely OUTSTANDING day!

Much Love!

Huge Hugs!

Happy Knitting!

Hi, there! How are y'all doing today? I am good. Hope you are well. Hope your day/afternnon/nite has been absolutely outstanding and just keeps getting better! However, if your day has been just plain shitty, know that it'll get better and that I am sending you a hug...(((HUG)))

In the shop today, I am supposed to be working on the last bits of the Cary, but when I looked at my schedule, I seemed to have put her down as completed. Yikes. So, I will be finishing her this weekend, in the hopes to be able to show y'all the finished product on Monday! Therefore, I will be stock knitting the Petrie today. I have a bit of a back log there and NEED to get those re-stocked in the proper shrunken size. LOL.

In other news, I have been holding on to a secret. If y'all pop over to the Twitch channel at 12n Chicago time, I will be talking about the surprise and I will be there again from 4p-7p to do a Q+A on the previous livestream. Wish me luck there.

Anyways, I hope you have an absolutely STELLAR day!

Much Love!

Huge Hugs!

Happy Knitting!
