slacker

wow I have been totally slacking with my blogging but I am so behind in everything these days, I have about 7 knitting projects on the go and not just ones for fun but ones that have to get done ugh add on to that work, child and everything else and it doesn't leave much room for anything. Plus I have about a million things running through my brain right now so sleep hasn't been on the agenda much either hmmmmm perhaps I should make my evening snack tequila shooters and that would probably help me pass out sleep lol.

My wise friend

So I am dedicating this blog to my blog wise friend Laura aka Org Junkie. She is amazing and she has been so helpful to me in getting my new blog all set up and best of all she has been so patient with my endless emails and phone calls that generally start like this....um I just have 1 quick question and then usually a cup of vanilla tea and lots of laughs later my question is answered lol. Thank you thank you thank you Laura I truly appreciate your help and hope that one day I rock at blogging like you.

stitch of the week - Trinity stitch -

I'm going to be posting my favorite stitches each week along with photos and instructions this weeks stitch is.......TRINITY STITCH.........I bought myself a kit to make a blanket at christmas and this was one of the stitches and I had to go on you tube to figure it out and now I love it.

To make this square you cast on 42 sts

row 1: (right side) Purl

**row 2: K1, *(k1,p1,k1) in next st, p3tog; rep from * to last st,

row 3: Purl

row 4: K1, *P3 tog, (k1,p1,k1) in next st; rep from * to last st, k1

row 5: Purl

repeat the last 4 rows of Trinity stitch pattern for 9" ending with a row 4

I hope you enjoy this stitch as much as I do it is fun to do and looks and feels super cool!

Mounty toque

One of the ladies that I work with her daughter's husband is a member with the RCMP and she is expecting a baby and wanted a hat in the colors of the red surge so we tossed around a few ideas and this is what I came up with.....I think I have found the perfect colors to match so we have the brown for the boots and hat, blue for the pants and red for the jacket....so cute.

proud mama

Iam such a proud mother well I am always proud of my daughter but I am so happy she is learning to knit...yay...lol I have been trying to teach her for the last few years and she wasn't interested but has now decided she is and is doing great. Now to teach my mother......that is my next student lol. Hope everyone has a great day!
