Not Fair, Really

To me, I don't know what about you, northeastern had a serious 2-3 feet of blizzard snow yesterday. Not here in utah at all. Just most of cloudy. Really cute of rain, not like pour rain dog and cat. Last time we had blizzard in about 2011. I loved it. One reason, oh there's million reasons why, I want to move to northeast. There is always snow than here in middle of derest. I want snow and rain. Not tornado, flood, etc. Lately, it's about 55 degree F yesterday. Too warm for January. So I have been depressing lately, due to lame weather. I'm not even ready for summer. I feel like I'm waiting for winter to arrive but it's here, and no snow. Not right. Today's weather is: cloudy, looks like it's about going to rain.

Anyway, I have been knitting due to my depression. Knitting save me. Knitting is cheaper than therapy. Not just hobby but they do helping your life. Thank god for knitting that's exist on earth. A weeks ago, I was crocheting but until a few days ago, I was so depressed and feel so sick just to see crochet projects. I'm fully knitter. That's first time ever weirder happen to me. 

So I have been knitting a tam hat. By Mary Jane Mucklestone. Yarn: jamieson's Shetland spindrift. I struggled with my gauge so I adjusted my math according to my gauge swatch. So far, it's looking good. 

When I was on way to bed, I looked up on Ravelry.com and oh my, how could I forgot this pattern because I recognized the pattern because I have that yarns I bought a few years ago for this pattern. So I'll get work on that ASAP, but I need to work on baby blanket and baby sack for Keisha. She's due on August 1st, but I bet she will have a baby in July, so I need to get on that. Baby blanket take me up to 2 months. Time is always tick tock tick tock and never stop. 

Slowly Recovering

Hi reader. I'm writing this to you from my bedroom. I have been too sick since January 1st. Colds, pink eye, and now I have bronchitis. My throat is killing me with the virus. Swallowing is hurt. I have been wearing the mask. My ears are fully of fluids. Yes, I did went to the ER yesterday. So I got the inhaler medicine. Derek had to call in from working double yesterday. He tried to take a day off but his boss denied it. I'm okay. But slowly recovering. 

Yesterday, I found out that the governor has been banning of the wood burn fireplace due to the bad air. So I glad I got gas fireplace. Our parents(both of ours) recommended us for it. I thank them. So I sat beside the fireplace last night to keep me warm from my sickness. 

From my last post, I couldn't post the photo so I am using my iPad to post the blog. So you can see the yarn earrings above. Isn't they lovely?

I finally finished knit the stuffed dinosaur for wyatt. He's happily. 

I'm currently crocheting the baby jumper dress. I'm watching doctor who. I heard that Netflix is omitting all of the BBC shows by January 31. I just started watching doctor who. Now I'm cursed. Because everyone love doctor who and I have never seen it so I was curious about it. 

Ahh, my steam inhaler Vicks. It's personal individual steam. 

That's all for today. I'm weak, cold, tired, and sorely. Good night and happy knitting. 

So Many Things To Talk About.

 Hi there. As I promised that I am back sooner. Now, I am sitting on my kitchen table and drinking green tea with lemon. psst, green tea help you to lose some weight, ahem. I am blogging from my laptop, not from my iPad. I usually blog from my iPad. Anyway, today's weather is foggy, white, dust snow on the trees. Yesterday, the weather made me really tired due to dark, gray outside. I still don't feel well. My sinus colds is gone then pink eye; now it's gone. And now I have frequently bad coughs with nasty green mucus. I took the medicines and antibiotic medicine. Yes, I went to the InstaCare last week for my pink eye medicine. I am surprised that Emma is not yet get sick from me and Wyatt. He had pink eye during Christmas breaks two weeks from school. Lucky for him that he doesn't have to miss the school. He gave me his pink eye. It's very quickly spread out. I have been cleaning the whole house with Lysol wipes. Today, I am hoping I can catch up with the laundry. It's really bad behind on laundry for weeks. I like to do the dishes because it's only one to two loads than so many loads of laundry. Oh dear.

Anyway, here about my knitting/crocheting stuffs.

I have been knitting swatch lately. I was in mood for swatch while I am still knitting the projects. So I wanted to knitting fair isle tam hat from Mary Jane Mucklestone. My new obsessed designer knitter. She lives in Portland, Maine. She is major in fair isle knitting. I have her class fair isle on my Craftsy.com. I love Craftsy. It's knitting videos with many different kind of classes that you want to learn about knitting. Of course, it's not only all about knitting. It has crochet, spinning, gardening, painting, cooking, and quilter. Once you bought the class, it will be never expired, it yours. as long as how many times you watch the class for your lifetime. Also it money back guarantee. Also it has closed captions on any computers. Unfortunately, not yet on tablets for closed captions, but at least it has on computer, right?

I find the new yarn that I fell in love with is Jamieson's Shetland wool from Shetland near to Scotland. The yarn is rough and best for fair isle knitting. I am all the wools lover. I don't care how soft or rough. If rough, wear something beneath. The wool keep you to stay warm in the winter time.

I finished knit this hat. I love it so much. I even knit this for my niece for Christmas present along with journal book. Emilee is pre teenage stage. So those are good for her. I am glad she loves it too. I made it little bigger and long length for me. Emilee is regular size. The brim is garter with short row to created this beauty over flap brim and sewed it. Why yes, it's wool yarn. I refuse to use red heart yarn. I absolutely hate acyclic yarn. 

I am crocheting the baby jumper dress for no reason. It's will be going into the long planning box saving. If my brother is going have a baby girl, I will give this to them. I crochet in 18 months old size. The pattern comes from Robyn Chachula, my favorite crocheter designer. I use sheep(ish) yarn from Bernets company. It's not yet finish. I am working on it. But currently that I am still working on Wyatt's dinosaur stuffed toy. Only 3 more legs to go then I am done. 

I told you that I was in mood for more swatches. So here another swatch with pure silk hankies direct straight from cocoon moth. I am not spinning this yarn. I just stretch the hankie into how thickness I want for yarn. I want to make the mittens. Silk is about 3 times warmer than wool's. I am swatching this to get the gauge for mittens size. 

That's all for today. Happy knitting, for me, ahem. 

Where Has The Time Gone?

Hi, it has been while since I last time blogging. The holiday season is surely busy for everyone. Now, I can't believe it's already 9 January 2014 2015. I remember the year 2012. Now it's 2015. The days are getting shorter and shorter. I must knitting faster like: So many patterns, and so little time. Our Christmas was wonderful. It's great to see the whole families together again once a year. In December weather's is lousy but we were surprised to see the snow on Christmas day that which I love it so much. I love to see the falling snow on Christmas morning. We, indeed, had a white Christmas. The kids, of course, were overload excited about the presents. Wyatt is still opening the someone's else present that wasn't even his. So I had to take him away to calm down and explained to him that the another kids want to open their own presents. Not you. Wyatt, why yes, was grumpy about it. I got the tiny fizzy yarn earrings from Etsy.com. Derek got the tools and hunter clothes. I got the most of yarn tools so far and MORE of the yarns. 

I knitted this cardigan from Ysolda. Libby loves it. Izabelle loves it too. I am glad that they love it. They are cute. 

 

I finally finished this punch rug hooker. It's fun project. I bought this old rust mustard looks frame at Hobby Lobby. I love that store. I bought this from Walmart that I saw this at my corner of eye while I was shopping. 

At my parents' house for Christmas day, they had chance to played with their cousins. Emma held her newest addition cousin named Matthew. The kids had blast time played together. I even held him too. Surprise news is that my brother Justin and his wife Keisha are expecting their first baby due in August 2015. It's time for me to knit her a baby blanket. This will be come from Anne Hansen the designer of blanket. I already have the yarns to be knitting. It's will be white. 

That's will be all for now. Hope to see you soon than await longer for me to blog. Cheer and happy knitting.
