Baby Sweater FO

/ LDSVenus / Leave a comment

I show the sleeves pulled on the top so you could see the cables. When I straighten it out, the yoke sets properly. I used Yarn Bee Warm & Cozy, color Spa. It’s a nice soft yarn but I don’t think it held the cable texture very well. I will probably go back to the “I love This Yarn” for the baby sweaters. I used my Knit Picks 16 inch fixed circular needles size 7 for the body, what was called for in the pattern. I usually use a size down because I knit a little loosely, but since I needed it to be a 6 months instead of a 3 months size (you know how fast they grow!!), the size up needle worked well. I used my Knitter’s Pride Dreamz, 9″ size 7 for the sleeves and a size 6 for the cuffs. I think next time I’ll go down to a 5 on the cuffs and bottom of the sweater.

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.

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!!!
