New Project

 I wanted to start a new project for my knitting. I started with my gauge swatch to get correct gauge for a project. Like an artist do with her/his art sketch paper before final start art. My gauge swatch is my sketch. I started with my picker (left hand). It was not good swatch. It was too loose and it will be too big for Emma's size. So I started over with my thrower (right hand). I knew that my thrower is always tight gauge. Bingo, it's exactly same gauge in the pattern calls for. I am glad that I have 2 chances. Some people can't do in two hands. Like if I didn't get a right gauge then I have another chance with my another hand to get gauge swatch. My hands have so different tension.

I started to wind my hankies into a ball. I have too many hankies to wind up. 

 I love my winder and umbrella winder. I can't live without them. I am so happy that I have them. Before I have them, I used a stick to winder up. Derek had to hold the yarn while I was winding with my own hand. It's took forever. One time, it took me three hours to get it done into a ball. The winder is much faster than a stick winder. It only took me 5 minutes. Nice, huh? I don't allow my kids to touch this stuffs. Because of my fan's blog that her nephew did broke her winder. I know Wyatt that well. He is still breaking stuffs. I am not buying new toys and/or stuffs for him until he realizes it and it's so annoying.

Ta-Da! I will winder the two remain white hankies later. I don't want to lose their tension while they are into the balls.

Yarn: Cascade Yarns Heritage Sock Color: lemon, white, moss, tutu, iris, fuschia.

Full Moon

 This moon was full and closer than before. My iPad's camera isn't that good taking a picture. I wanted to buy a Nikon or Canon camera. I will have to save my money to buy that camera.

Isn't the moon pretty. I will love if the moon is more closer and big. Like in a movie Bruce Almighty.

I agree this quote. Yarn is my distracted. :)

Kids Being Kids

 I love her hair after braid. So fuzzy curly. She looks like a Minnie mouse because of her ears on top of her head.

 I want the kids to have fun on crafts. So they are doing cross stitches on the plastic with yarn thread. They picked the color of plastic thingy. Wyatt's black and Emma's pink.

 A few days ago, the weather was so HOT! I was staying indoor with the fan front of me. The kids were swimming with water foundation. My grass also need water too. But right now my grass is dead because of full of the weed. Weed is so tough! I will try to get Scott bag for fall to help kill the weeds before the snow comes.

I use the sun to dry my clothes to save my dryer machine's utility bill. It was pretty faster dry than I thought. The heat wave plus sun shine on the wet clothes to dry up quickly. Thank you sun.

 We visited at my parents' for the wedding last month. The wedding was good.

 Wyatt was hid behind the door. He is weird.

 I was laughing at him with his gloves on his feet to pretended to be a dinosaur. He was good at pretending stuffs. Once, he was a dog, dinosaur, and deer.

 Emma always stole my bed.

I am still working on my cardigan that I started last August 2012. I just finally started work on the sleeves at the same time. I always knitting on my bed during bedtime. I hope that I will finish this project before winter comes. I already started another project for Emma's. She doesn't have a jacket so I am knitting her one.

What were you doing 9 years ago? Dated my idiot ex-boyfriend before I met my husband. I was 18 years old. It was a VERY bad year for me. But in January 2004, I got a beetle VW car. I loved it. I was bad in school. I failed math class. Lucky, that I don't need a math class. I don't need it in my junior year. I was relieved. Just like I said that it was bad year.

What were you doing 6 years ago? I was pregnant with my son, Wyatt. I already married with my awesome guy.

What were you doing 1 hour ago? Talked to my husband about house stuff, ate my breakfast, and get dressed.

Red, Red, & Reeeeeddddd!

Red spinning wheel. I absolutely love it. I think that just regular color wood is bored. So I added the kick of color red and I think it is awesome. Isn't she beauty? Yes? I love dark red. Not cherry red- too bright color. I fell in love with that color, I couldn't take my eyes off from her. Yes, spinning wheel is a her. I probably name her Red. I sprayed paint than hand-paint. Spray is faster, easy, and dry quickly. I used two spray bottles.

I know that red is sin color. White is pure color. But I love the shade of color red. I hope its okay to have a favorite color red. Susan, my aunt, loves color red too. She also have everything that are red in her house. Even a pair of shoes. No, I am not copying cat her. It just happens. I know that I am not only one who loves red.

I heart you, red and Red.

Green Thing

I ordered the yarn for this project a while ago. I decided it's time to knitting this green thing socks. My green yarns were sitting in my stash box for a while. I gave them a mercy. 

 Knitting is an art. Fibers, colors, textures, and sketches.

 I also worry about the moths. Moth and I are enemy. I did put moth's thing to avoid the moths from coming in my basement. It was smell awful but it helps to stay away from the moths.

 It's superwash meino wool. Color is leaf green. I bought them from LionBrand Collection from New York. It's little heavy weight than normal socks yarn. It surely will be keep my feet warm during the winter season.

 Oh, I love this socks. I knit in cable stitches.

Psst... Do you agree about this. I love this. I didn't think about it. When I am stress, desserts are calling my name to calm me down. Sometimes I hate that. I am trying to keep away from the sugars. It's good one. Funny that how its work. 

Happy Independence's Day!

Enjoy our freedom! Hope your all is well too.
