Prayers and Good Vibes!!

Today The Husbando went in for two job interviews. He got one very good job offer, which made us very happy. But then he got a job offer that was VERY GOOD in his DREAM JOB CAREER and he is SO HAPPY. SO THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH THOSE OF YOU WHO GAVE US PRAYERS AND GOOD VIBES! He goes in to finish paperwork tomorrow and will be starting Monday. We are SO BLESSED.

I started knitting a simple easy dishcloth for my mom for her Christmas Dishcloth Set. I'm not doing this week's Dishcloth Weekly Knit a Long pattern simply because with how stressful everything has been around here, I don't have time to learn all the new techniques! Instead I'm attempting The Waffle Dishcloth with my own added garter border. So far I can't really see the pattern showing up but I'm only 3 repeats in.

I also did a few rounds on my Honey Cowl. I really want to knock it out because I want to see how much blue yarn I have left, see if there is any left for the Fellowship of the Fingerless CAL Mitts!

And I've decided to take a break from the blanket today. I know it's another cheat day close to my last one. I've just been really stressed out lately, and I'm starting to resent the blanket squares a little and I don't want that. So a break today from it is okay with me.

Things will be a little wild again for a bit, but that's okay. Prayers and good vibes are still appreciated until things settle down! 

Fingerless Friends CAL

I didn't update yesterday because I took a break. I didn't knit, I used a cheat day for my blanket square, I just read and played video games. We're going through some hard times here. The Husbando has been put on suspension from his job, which he believes means he will probably lose his job. So he is scrambling to find a new job, we're a bit stressed about financial situations, and he's very upset since the reasons they said were completely false and made up. However, we are blessed we live with my parents who will help us out during this time, blessed that The Husbando is very employable, and blessed for a lot of different reasons in general. So is life. We will make it work. It all goes on.

In exciting happy news!!! Today is the start of the Fellowship of the Fingerless Craft A Long! A group of friends on Instagram decided we wanted a craft a long to make fingerless mitts, with no real rules and no time limit, just a place to share our pictures and help each other out! So I'm making matching mitts for my honey cowl. You should join us! On Instagram we use the hash tag #FingerlessFriendsCAL !!

I decided to use the pattern Easy Fingerless Mitts and was nervous because it involves knitting in the round which means of course double pointed needles and you all know I'm terrible at that.

But it went well! I successfully cast on and knit my first round!!!

I decided to make a smaller cuff so that I would have enough wool for both mitts and my honey cowl. I just can't believe how well I'm doing at knitting in the round on double pointed needles! And I'm enjoying it! A lot! This has been so cool, I'm so happy! 

I also finished knitting the cuff for the second of the Snow Day Slippers I am making my mom for Christmas today! Woo!!! On the home stretch now!!! 

And today's blanket square: 

It's supposed to be the checks and ridges pattern but I don't think you can see it. 

I decided to make today's color a good day. Even with its ups and downs lately today was good. My knitting was on point, I read a lot, and The Husbando has two interviews lined up for tomorrow! 

All in all, I am very blessed. 

Artist Guild, My First Knitting Sale, Traveling Scarf, and Date Night In.

It's been a busy day. First thing first we went and bought a new fan, hallelujah! I should get some more peaceful sleep again at night. Then I got my glasses fixed. And then The Husbando and I went to the Artist Guild of Glasgow. We love it there everyone is so friendly and nice. I went there to get some of the locally made soap to send to Tory on Saturday with her care package and the spa clothes I knit her. I won't post her soap so it's a surprise in case she reads the blog, but I did buy myself a nice pumpkin spice one! I love fall and pumpkin! LOVE IT. OBSESSED WITH IT. Sane thing really.

It's been a good day!  Because then I talked to the mother of the woman working at Guild and she loved my washcloth I made for my sister and wanted several! So I offered to make her two or three. And she said she would pay me for them! How exciting is that??? I'm getting paid for something I knit!!!

And Tory and I are doing Traveling Scarves we decided today! Where I will start a scarf and send it to her and she will knit onto it and start hers and send then both back and I will knit onto both of them and on and on! With different yarns and stitchs. Isn't that awesome!?!?!?! I started mine in the car today:

It's knit in k1 p1 rib cause car knitting haha. The yarn is plant dyed Japanese Indigo and worsted weight. I got it from a local yarn seller who actually invited me to dye yarn with her!

And I downloaded more books to my kindle! Knitting, A Novel, the second Seaside Knitters Mystery, and a Yarn Harlot book. I'm pretty excited to read them. I have so many yarn related things going on in life right it's a bit out of hand!

I'm using a cheat day on my blanket because I need to work on the dishcloths! But it's also pizza night and movie night for the Husbando and I! Date night in! And we are going to eat twizzlers! I'm very excited. It's been a good day.
