Three New Shirts

I thought I would lighten the mood with the 3 shirts I bought over the last 6 weeks. Needed new shirts and thought it would be fun to wear shirts that made me laugh or smile. Added bonus it makes others laugh or smile too!!

I’ve only been able to get online here and there as my internet service is having a problem tracking down the problem, looks like it’s one of their cable inside my wall somewhere. So they are meeting with my landlord to talk and see if it’s something my landlord has to hire a contractor to fix or something they have to fix. Sigh. The only other option, after checking out the other internet services in my area, is starlink. It’s only $50 to $80 a month depending on the speed you need. (Sorry dad, my dad always taught me to never use money and only in the same sentence :P). They said the lower amount was fine for streaming, the higher for businesses that need more.

Monday Funny!!!

I am assuming they have it in plastic wrap so you could see the words and still attach it to the tree. I saw one like they years ago and loved it so much I used it as my email tag line for years, but the original said “Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with ketchup”.

Winter Weather!

I decided to check the weather to see if the snow from last night was done, but NOPE! Here was an alert on my computer and I took a picture of the snow now coming down. Only suppose to be an inch or so, but with the snow we got last night and the winds that will be coming soon, they are telling a blizzard from blowing snow. I rarely get a good picture of it snowing, but you can see the snow against the tree in the 1st picture!!! Also we have an extreme cold warning from the high winds and the colder weather, making it down to a possible 40 below, ack! I’ll be staying inside, nice and toasty warm!!!

Last day of the Year 2025 – an FO Hat and Just Started Hats and a Baby Sweater.

I started the baby sweater (in the 1st picture in the light blue, Spa color way) in Yarn Bee Warm & Cozy yarn a few weeks ago, but had to frog it and start again. Been a while since I’ve done the Tin Can Knits Flax sweater pattern. Plus I decided to do a cable on the sleeves instead of the garter stitch. I have the neck done and the stitch markers in to mark off the front, back and sleeves. Just started the increases for the raglan part. I will be working on it soon, it needs to be done in February.

The hats are something I work on during the year for the local homeless shelter and as a bonus they give me a mindless knit when I need to knit but don’t have the brain power to think about complicated patterns. I don’t normally have more than one on my needles at a time, because having too many things going at one time gives me anxiety. But, for some reason, I started 3, sigh. The one in the 1st picture, that is finished, was done with I Love This Yarn, Print in the Mahogany Singe color way, it’s a very nice color. The 2nd one in blue in the 2nd picture is the I Love This Yarn, print color way Blueberry Buckle, which is also a very nice color knit up. The 3rd one I went with Yarn Bee Yarn ID in the color way Thistle (a light lavender). All these yarns I buy at Hobby Lobby on the weeks that they are 30% off (which is every other week) and they are all worsted weight. Hobby Lobby has a nice selection and you can also order them online if you don’t like to go to a store to shop. I’m a tactile person and like to see and handle the yarn before I buy :P. Anyway these should keep me busy for a few weeks. Hopefully in the next few weeks I will start spinning again too.

Hope everyone has a wonderful and blessed New Year!!!
