I'm not sorry to see March go!

A day late March round up! Late is better than never right?

This month came in like a lion and went out like a lion, especially emotionally. Maybe next month will be better. I like April a lot.

First things first about this month! I learned to cable!

An Antler Hat  from TinCanKnits for my great niece. 

And a Classic Cable Knit Hat  for my husband! (Thanks for the pattern Jess !) 

It was on my list of things to do this year and I feel really accomplished I did that.

I finished a few other things that are worth mentioning, a Grain Shawl  for my sister, a honey cowl with friend yarn for myself, and I learned to crochet!

See? A crochet dishcloth!

I also got a huge knit picks order from my husband.

So many goodies!

And as an added surprise he got me Mothy and the Squid  minis! Deadly nightshade, industrial accident, and Easter egg! With markers!

And My Dear Friend Logan  sent me a hug cowl! It's so soft and lovely. And scraps for hexis and squares!

I got quite a few hexis done, and blanket squares.

But that's pretty much all I've gotten done as far as fiber. It's been a long month, that ended with my husband being ill for a week. I'm pretty tired.

These are my current wips:

A virus shawl, Hitchhiker , and a yellow hexi.

I don't have much else to say. Everything had been fairly miserable on the homestead. Especially for someone who suffers with OCD, and Bipolar Disorder. I've been trying my best and hanging in there.

But we did do some fun things this month.

Like go out for sushi

And go to the park

And play Pokémon Go

And I won a really cool poke ball from Zoe.Creates on instagram !

P.S. look what husbando bought me to cheer me up and as thank you for taking care of him! Books and yarn!

The yarn is Easter Moon Rocks and Mochi by TiltingPlanet ! Isn't it pretty?!

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! 

Mom's Day Off

I got to sleep in today, until 10am actually, so I woke up feeling extremely well rested.

On top of that I had had a horrible night where I argued with someone I am related to by marriage and felt shitty overall at the end of the day.

But today I woke up rested, and Tory got her package! She loved it! Which makes me SO HAPPY!

And it's my mom's day off, which means she makes lunch for the family, which I look forward too. It's one of those little things that brightens my day. She makes grilled cheese and cuts the crust off mine, and I bought asparagus for us to share since we are the only two in the family who like it. It's been a nice relaxed day.

And today marks a new Dishcloth Weekly Knit A Long and it's FALL THEMED! I LOVE FALL! And I've been promising The Husbando a washcloth since I joined this group, so this one is perfect for him!

Before I could start it though, I went out to help with barn chores and play with the animals on this beautiful day.

Isn't Jay Jay the cutest? 

Momma and Princess! 

Then I could start the Dishcloth once in! I did 3 rows of the garter stitch border and a few more rounds on the hat.

There is method to my madness for using that yarn for the Campfire dishcloth, I swear! 

Today I did a homey comfortable blanket square in an attempted mini version of the dishcloth, you can't see the pattern much, it doesn't mini well apparently. And I'm on my second row of the blanket.

and the husbando helped me darn in my edges 

It's been a good day, a relaxed, homey day. A much needed day after a wave of blue yesterday. I am happy.
